Specialists from KB "Panorama" have prepared a digital classifier, isogd_23.rscz, for maintaining the information resource of the State Information System for Supporting Urban Planning Activities (GISOGD) of the Krasnodar Territory.

The development is based on the Technical Requirements for GISOGD Information Resources and Order No. 54 dated May 12, 2025, issued by the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Krasnodar Territory. These regulatory documents clearly stipulate the required composition of layers, the structure of attributes, data exchange formats, and requirements for the symbology of the region's spatial data.

The digital classifier is included in the Complex of Urban Planning Tasks and enables the creation of territorial planning documents, zoning schemes, master plans, as well as site planning and land surveying projects.

Information and materials containing spatial (cartographic) data can be uploaded to the GISOGD information resource in various formats. The GML/XML and SXF formats are used for data transfer as a single file containing a complete set of layers, objects, and their attributes. Meanwhile, the MID/MIF and SHP formats involve separate data transfer for each thematic layer.

To ensure the correct data structure when converting to the SHP format, a special settings file, isogd_23.rscz.toshp, is provided. It guarantees proper layer naming, compliance of attribute table composition, and object codes with the requirements of the regional GISOGD.

The classifier was developed in response to requests from design and operational organizations. The prepared tool ensures a unified, normatively agreed-upon approach to managing urban planning data within the Krasnodar Territory.

The digital classifier is available in the Classifiers section, and the current version of the Complex of Urban Planning Tasks is located in the Download section.

Specialists from KB "Panorama" have prepared a digital classifier, isogd_74.rscz, for maintaining the State Information System for Supporting Urban Planning Activities (GISOGD) of the Chelyabinsk Region. The development is based on the Rules of Operation for the Chelyabinsk Region GISOGD, as well as approved classifiers, reference books, and object classes for sectoral spatial data. These documents regulate the composition of layers, the structure of attributes, and requirements for the symbology of objects in the region's urban planning documentation. The digital classifier is included in the Complex of Urban Planning Tasks and enables the generation of territorial planning documents, zoning schemes, master plans, and site planning and land surveying projects.

Information and materials containing spatial (cartographic) data can be uploaded to the Chelyabinsk Region GISOGD in various formats. The GML/XML and SXF formats are used for data transfer as a single file containing a full set of layers, objects, and their attributes. The MID/MIF and SHP formats involve separate data transfer for each thematic layer. To correctly form the data structure when converting to the SHP format, a special settings file, isogd_74.rscz.toshp, is used. It ensures correct layer names, the composition of attribute tables, and compliance of object codes with the requirements of the Chelyabinsk Region GISOGD.

The classifier was developed in response to requests from design and operational organizations. The prepared classifier ensures a unified, normatively agreed-upon approach to managing urban planning data.

Specialists from KB "Panorama" together with students of MIIGAiK have prepared an overview video tutorial on working with the applied task "Report Designer". This mode is available to users of GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator" and other KB "Panorama" software products for the "Astra Linux Special Edition" operating system.

The applied task "Report Designer" is a tool for creating map-schemes and reports, activated in GIS as a separate module. It provides users with extensive functionality for formatting and publishing cartographic materials. The video tutorial demonstrates key capabilities: creating a new project, adding graphic elements, and editing content.

Insets of main and additional maps are performed as part of pre-formed map projects (MPT) created in GIS "Panorama". A project can include vector and raster maps, digital elevation models, external geoportals, and data from GIS Servers. For constructing map-schemes, the digital classifier mapreport.rsc is used, which contains the necessary objects for layout. Additionally, prepared map-templates can be used for subsequent creation of similar map-schemes with a unified design. It is also possible to pre-configure a set of templates with required parameters (page sizes and orientation).

This video material will be useful for specialists involved in formatting and preparing cartographic materials for publication, including for creating standardized reports and map-schemes of various themes. The training materials can be found in the "Video Tutorials" section.

On December 3-4, 2025, representatives of KB "Panorama" presented at two strategic sessions in Moscow dedicated to developing the geoinformation infrastructure of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The events, organized by Rosreestr and PPK "Roskadastr", brought together representatives of government authorities, industry experts, developers, and the scientific community from CIS countries.

On December 3, a session focused on the practical development of the CIS Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) Geoportal was held. Participants discussed the transition from concepts to specific geoservices demanded by the economies and citizens of the Commonwealth. On December 4, an expanded strategic session of the CIS Interstate Council took place, addressing pathways for the development of geodesy, cartography, and SDI as a whole, as well as the creation of an architecture for the future digital geoinformation ecosystem.

Within the discussions, participants presented a number of key services and initiatives aimed at spatial data integration. These included creating a unified orthophoto mosaic and coordinate-height base as a foundation for all services, developing an open API to transform the Geoportal into a platform, forming a metadata base, and deploying a unified CIS geodetic network to solve the problem of coordinate system incompatibility. Particular attention was paid to ensuring the geoportal's multilingualism, creating a unified geoinformation platform, a geocoder, and a common Spatial Data Fund for CIS countries. Furthermore, initiatives were proposed to build an environmental monitoring platform and an early warning system for emergencies, as well as a forest resource management system. Various solutions were considered as base software, including the "Panorama" geoinformation platform.

The CIS SDI Geoportal is being created as a single consolidated platform aimed at eliminating the fragmentation of spatial information between countries. This will facilitate the transition from disparate national systems to an integrated digital space with unified technological and regulatory frameworks. The project's implementation will contribute to harmonizing spatial data policies, creating a unified labor market, developing cross-border agglomerations, increasing regional investment attractiveness, and expanding scientific cooperation.

Geoportal "Spatial Data Bank" has been updated with Federated States of Micronesia Map, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The map has been converted to the modernized classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m). Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Digital Maps and Remote Sensing Data Bank. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".
