Austrian Geodetic Triangulation Sheets for Map Classification

1048 triangulation sheets form a geodetic grid system for Austria. The system divides meridian strips into 15 longitudinal strips of 10,000 m width and transverse strips from the equator, also 10,000 m wide. The data, provided in ESRI SHAPE format, is published by Cooperation OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Classifying large-scale map sheets based on the described 10,000 m grid system.
• Referencing geospatial data to the standardized triangulation sheet numbering scheme.
• Serving as a foundational layer for organizing and managing high-resolution Austrian topographic data.

Strengths

• Comprises 1048 distinct triangulation sheets, providing a detailed grid.
• Grid system is explicitly defined with 10,000 m wide longitudinal and transverse strips.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

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.
