[mapserver-users] ASTER GDEM Mapfile

[Milo van der Linden]

I downloaded a small set (approx. 1Gb) of the aster gdem around the
Netherlands. You can access it (from qGIS for instance) at
http://dogomaps.net/wms/aster?request=GetCapabilities (demo, no uptime
guarantee)

I also found that the best site to donwload aster is here:
http://www.gdem.aster.ersdac.or.jp/  go to that site and click "SEARCH"
in the left sidebar.

Here you can find an example of openstreetmap (via mapserver) combined
with aster:

I am also trying to find out what is possible with the raw corine
landcover dataset,

http://dogomaps.net/openstreetmap_corine.png

I already noticed corine is good for detecting gaps in the openstreetmap
data. For instance here:
http://dogomaps.net/goese-meer.png

Corine clearly shows (in red) that not all urban area's are present in
OSM. still need to figure out licensing, but since the corine resolution
is so low, I think it will be no problem to use it as change detection
in order to find out if you need to "jump on the bike and go outside" 
as an openstreetmapper.
