The task of research is to identify and analyze resources from Latvian official open repositories and to find out if any relationship with the values of Indicators from pilot Ecosystem Services valuation project in Jaunkemeri territory exist and to highlight the way - how to determine correlations between machine readable information from open machine readable spatial datasets and Ecosystem Services Provisioning, Regulating and Cultural mapped indicators' assessments.
