It is the central asset register for infrastructure operators, energy supply companies and industrial companies, resource management and geographic information system in one[2]

LIDS defines as an open and scalable geo and network and resource information system a new standard in the GIS world. All information (graphics & factual data) is saved redundantly in the database, based on Oracle Spatial (Locator) technology or newly in Postgis/PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server database.
