BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 31. Azercosmos, a
company under Azerbaijan's AZCON Holding, has helped update a base
map covering the Karabakh region provided by international
satellite data and analytics company EOS Data Analytics.
Azercosmos said the update replaced settlement names previously
displayed in Armenian with Azerbaijan's official toponyms.
The Azercosmos team identified outdated settlement names on the
base map and contacted EOS Data Analytics. It provided data
published on Azerbaijan's official Open Data Portal (Opendata.az),
along with a relevant database confirming the official names of the
settlements.
After about 11 months of cooperation and data exchange, EOS Data
Analytics' product team reviewed the official information and made
the relevant updates to the map covering Karabakh.
The official names of Khankendi, Khojavend, Aghdara, Sugovushan
and other settlements in the Karabakh region are now correctly
reflected on the digital map, Azercosmos said.
"This initiative contributes to the accurate representation of
Azerbaijan's official geographical names on international digital
maps and enables global users to access up-to-date and reliable
geospatial information about our country. The update also
demonstrates the important role of official open data in improving
the accuracy of information presented on international maps," the
statement said.
EOS Data Analytics is an international company providing
artificial intelligence-based satellite data analysis services. It
analyzes data from the EOS SAT-1 satellite and more than 20 partner
satellite constellations, providing analytical solutions to support
decision-making across various sectors.
