Vom continua efortul de realizare al acestei harti inca cel putin patru ani de acum incolo. Le solicitam suportul tuturor firmelor de GIS din tara sa ne ajute cu harti detaliate corecte si actuale ale oraselor pe care nu le-am acoperit inca. Dorim ca versiunea urmatoare sa contina si padurile, pasunile si zonele industriale la scara 1:100.000 sau mai mare si vom face prelucrarile necesare asupra datelor existente in vederea implementarii rutarii automate in versiunea 2006.
Vom continua sa integram date de rezolutie (scara) din ce in ce mai mare pe masura ce acestea devin disponibile. Facem un apel catre toate institutiile de invatamant cu profil legat de GIS de realizare de programe comune in care studentii sa beneficieze de tehnologie de ultima ora de la Garmin pentru realizarea lucrarilor de diploma sau a deplasarilor in teren, tehnologie cu care vrem sa dotam la preturi promotionale institutiile de invatamant superior.
Proiectul Romania Digitala ramane in continuare deschis participarii persoanelor fizice si juridice care isi manifesta dorinta sa impartaseasca din datele si experienta proprie celorlalti. Cred ca este greu de gasit o firma de GIS din Romania cu atata putere financiara si atata personal specializat ca sa poata de una singura sa faca ceva macar similar efortului si filozofiei colaborative din cadrul Proiectului Romania Digitala.
Numai printr-un efort comun vom ajunge sa avem, noi, care nu aveam pana acum nici-o harta pentru GPS, sa avem o harta mai buna decat a oricarora dintre vecinii nostri! Si asta pentru simplul fapt ca nici unul dintre vecinii nostri nu are densitatea de inteligenta si ambitie pe metru patrat pe care o avem noi aici in Romania!
Dar harta aceasta nu este un scop in sine, ci o unealta care ne va ajuta sa ne cunoastem mai bine tara si sa ne vindem mai bine produsele si serviciile. Atunci cand am pornit Proiectul Romania Digitala am avut in minte chiar Romania Digitala, nu doar harta ei… Vrem sa integram paginile de web cu descrieri turistice sau de afaceri in harta noastra inasa fel incat cineva care cauta un punct de interes, fie el turistic sau de afaceri, sa gaseasca toate informatiile relevante la acel punct, fie ca pagina offline HTML, fie ca link catre pagina celui care furnizeaza aceste informatii. In felul acesta, cu ajutorul imaginilor si a textelor in mai multe limbi speram sa atragem in Romania mai multe investitii directe si turisti din tara si din afara.
Vrem sa punem linkuri catre toate portalurile de turism din Romania si sa ne promovam activ unii pe ceilalti. Vom traduce materialele din portalul nostru in mai multe limbi si vom mari vizibilitatea ofertelor romanesti si a pozitionarii lor exacte la nivel mondial. De ce? Pentru ca nu am renuntat niciodata sa credem in Romania si in oamenii de aici! Nu ca n-am fi avut motive sa ne indoim macar! Sau sa plecam de tot! The Digital Romania Project: timeline
In the following four years, at least, we will continue our struggle to draw up this map. We are asking all the GIS firms in the country to help us, by providing detailed, correct and up-to-date maps of the towns we haven�t covered yet. Our aim is that the next version should also contain details about the forests, the pastures and the industrial areas at the scale of 1:100,000 or even at a larger one and we�ll do all the necessary processing on the already existing data, in order to implement the automatic routing in the 2006 version.
We�ll keep on bringing new information at a higher and higher resolution (scale), as they become accessible to us. We are thus making a request to all educational institutions with a GIS profile to make joint programmes in which the students use the latest Garmin technology to draw up their diploma papers or during their field trips, a technology that we want to make accessible at promotional prices.
The Digital Romania Project is still open to the participation of both legal and natural persons, that are interested in sharing with the others their personal experiences and the data they have acquired. It is very unlikely to find in Romania a GIS company that has the financial power and the specialised personnel as to do all by itself something that can match to The Digital Romania Project�s collaborative efforts and philosophy.
Only through our common efforts will we succeed in having a map better than those of all our neighbours, despite the fact that we don�t have a GPS map yet. And this is due to the fact that none of our neighbours has such a density of intelligence and ambition as we have here in Romania.
But this map doesn�t represent a purpose in itself, but a means of getting to know our own country and of better selling our products and services. When we started this project, we were thinking exactly at Digital Romania, not only at its map… In out map, we want to make room for web pages with tourist and business descriptions, so that whenever someone is interested in something, be it tourist or business information, to be able to find all the necessary data, either as an offline HTML web page, or as a link to the page of the information provider. In this way, with the help of images and texts written in many foreign languages, we are hoping to bring into Romania more investments and many tourists, both local and foreigners.
We want to make links towards all the tourism portals in Romania, and to aggressively promote each other. We�ll translate the information in our portal in many languages and we will increase the visibility of Romanian offers and their exact position in the world. Why? Because we haven�t lost our faith in Romania and in its people! Not that we lacked reasons for a doubt! Or reasons to leave!
