Peter,
Thanks for the dataset link and valuable information.
Does anybody know what is the security related situation in other European
countries (Finland, Sweden, Germany, etc...). Although I live in Lithuania I
am working for a Finish company now. We are going to put some high
resolution bathymetric and underwater habitat maps from the Baltic Sea
produced by our "inteligent" GIS based modeling system on-line. Is it alowed
in Finland and other countries surrounding the Baltic sea ? Or are we
commiting a crime :) ?
