Register of Geographical Names - INSPIRE
The State Survey and Real Estate Cadastre Act (NN No 112/18) stipulates that the State Geodetic Administration is the central state administration body responsible for maintaining and maintaining the Register of Geographical Names (RGI) in the Republic of Croatia. The content, manner of managing and maintaining the RGI is prescribed by the Rules on the Register of Geographical Names (OG 59/20). RGI is an online database in which data on geographical names in the territory of the Republic of Croatia are recorded and maintained. It is the official basis for collecting, recording, processing, presenting, understanding, linking, researching and publishing various space data, such as different maps, space-related statistics, articles, etc. It can be used by public authorities, the private sector, international organisations and legal and natural persons. The data are harmonized in accordance with the INSPIRE theme "Geographical names" and therefore contain the dotted geometry of named places (NamedPlace) that have an associated geographical name in the form of their own noun and other attributes associated with that geographical name such as spelling of the name, language, status of the name, source of the name and the type of object to which these named objects belong, e.g. geographical units, relief forms, land and sea waters, islands and peninsulas, buildings, areas, settlements, roads. Geographical names are listed next to points (designated places) with spatial coordinates in the geodetic reference system of the Republic of Croatia (HTRS96/TM) that indicate the exact location of a point geographical object or indicate the geometric centre of an areal or linear object. Data collection took place through several phases (2004-2008, 2008-2010 and 2011-2019), and in 2013 a geoinformation system consisting of a network application and a spatial database was finally developed. The data is available for viewing and downloading via INSPIRE harmonised network services.
