Use Case Scope
POPIMPACT- The object of this work is to obtain a layer of pan-European buildings to which the population has been assigned.
Spatial Scope / Priority Scope
3 scenarios, with 5 proofs of concepts, have been worked on to validate the use case

Harmonisation problem
| Harmonisation problem |
Definition |
Example |
| Difficulty of access |
It is very difficult to find the datasets for all member states. |
Buildings in Portugal. |
| Segmented data |
When data sets are highly segmented, a process has to be done to bring them together in order to process them as a whole. |
Building in Spain, separated into more than 8000 municipalities |
| Diversity of formats |
Each dataset can be in a different format. |
Building in France is in GeoJSON and in Spain in GML. |
| Data without semantic interoperability |
Each data has its own data model. Sometimes even the same organism does not write the attributes in the same way. |
Building of Spain different model on La Palma, with data model Inspire. |
| Different EPSGs |
Each data has a different EPSG. and even the same datum in different areas. |
Building of France. |
