2. Annotation  Presentation: Quality evaluation process in eTOD (electronic terrain and obstacle data) Database  Panelist: Jaroslav Zemek – RIGTC Zdiby, CZ  The presentation will inform about the achievements of RIGTC Zdiby - CZ, in the solution of the project "The Assurance and Assessment of Aerial Obstacles Quality". This project was solved for the Czech Ministry of Transportation in 2009 and 2010. It represents the first practical application of the ISO 19100 Series for Geographic information in aviation branch. The primary aim of this Project was to develop the technology for specification, ensuring, assessment and publishing the quality of the aerial obstacle data in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) Nr. 73/2010, ICAO Annex 15, national legislation and with all key standards and norms of ISO 19100 Series - Geographic information related to quality and metadata. 13.9.2011EuroGeographics QKEN webinar
