The data is provided by Cooperation OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich under a CC-BY-4.0 license. The coordinate system is GK-M31 state coordinate system (EPSG: 31255) with Easter operating heights (EPSG: 5778).

Use Cases

• Model water flow and flood risk based on the detailed terrain elevation.
• Plan infrastructure projects based on the high-resolution topographic data.
• Conduct environmental impact assessments based on the terrain surface model.
• Perform viewshed analysis for telecommunications or renewable energy siting based on the elevation grid.

Strengths

• Data is derived from the latest Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) aircraft, suggesting modern collection methods.
• High spatial resolution is provided by a 10-meter grid.
• Data is provided under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
