[Freegis-list] EDBS/ATKIS to some useful GIS-format converter wanted!

[Andreas H]

Hi,
what you describe is exactly what i have planed for a student work in my 
firm over the next month. The goal was to develop a converter for MIF and 
SHP as target.
But I'm not sure if we do this, because of the following problems:
- the EDBS-data is not public available, it is very expensive and so there 
are not much user
- because of the copyright I thinks it's not easy to get sample data
- we have the official documentation, but we can't found any information 
about the differences or internal changes there was made
- I think the "Landesvermessungsverwaltungen" are not cooperative to get 
insights in the format

My main question is:
How usefull is a free converter for only restricted available data????

Yours
Andreas Haensel
