Authority
We act as an intermediary between administrations, protected areas, tourism, nature and sports associations and the outdoor industry.

Digitize the Planet supports public authorities in the preparation of their data (rules, protection purposes, etc.) and disseminating important normative information.
Authorities, administrations and ministries are tasked with the management and responsibility of information and data relating to nature conservation areas. The preparation, maintenance and dissemination of this data requires resources, expertise and cooperation with companies from the private sector. In some cases, this cannot be achieved.
Digitize the Planet can provide support here and take up the needs of administrations and, through close cooperation, evaluate and process data across the board and support data maintenance.
In addition to the official specifications and requirements, the association also works with platforms and information services that people use for leisure planning and where the data can be played out.
This enables us to bring the needs of both sides together and ensure a functional flow of information that meets both requirements.
Advantages
Efficient use of resources
Once the data has been entered by the authorities, a machine-readable dataset with an international standard is created, which can be integrated into any system free of charge (open data).
We support authorities in the resource-saving integration of data and the simple maintenance of information on our platform.
Through close cooperation, individual integrations and processing can be carried out. Once data has been integrated, it is easy to maintain and update it.
We regularly offer free training courses on data entry.
Know-how & advice
In order to properly plan and implement a successful digitalization strategy, all factors of digital activity management must first be known.
We share our know-how about the data basis, data usage, information channels of leisure activities and important prerequisites that need to be created by authorities and administrations.
Thanks to our network and long-standing collaboration with science and platforms, as well as our participation in projects and conferences, we are one of the most relevant experts in the field of digital activity management.
Mediation between authorities, companies and associations
Digital activity management is operated by many different stakeholders and is subject to different interests.
Rules, offers and information are all part of a holistic activity management system and must be mutually understood.
Thanks to our many years of work with all stakeholders, we are able to convey this understanding and thus support data collection from the outset to ensure that it is processed and used in the interests of all.
Provision of structures and data models
We support you in setting up your own digital structures. Due to our open data character, we are prepared to pass on our data structure and our data model for external use.
We are happy to help with implementation and further development.
How can you cooperate with us?
- By registering and entering information (rules, regulations, protection purposes, blocks, etc.) on our platform, you ensure that data is available across the board.
- Join us in convincing politicians and authorities to work with the DtP standard.
- Help us with our collaborative and solidarity-based work and become a member of our association.
