Vector data is a coordinate-based data structure commonly used to represent map features. This divides space into discrete features, usually points, lines or polygons. Each linear feature is represented as a list of ordered x, y coordinates.

We provide two vector-based spatial datasets describing buildings outlines and field delimitations for the Maltese Islands at a scale of 1:10,000.

The Buildings Outline dataset represents the outline of the building blocks visible from the orthophotos, while the field delimitations dataset represents the outline of field parcels and rubble walls. These two datasets together provide a metric representation of the ground (at a given scale) as seen from an aerial view, and can be used as a digital basemap in GIS-based applications.

These datasets are available in various formats.
