Before making recommendations on how to standardise New Zealand's DEM/DSM data LINZ took a brief look at other jurisdictions and how they standardised their DEM and DSM
Before making recommendations on how to standardise New Zealand's DEM/DSM data, LINZ took a brief look at other jurisdictions and how they standardised their DEMs and/or DSMs.

The key areas to look at were

- compression - What lossless compression was most common
- compression - what lossless compression was most common
- size - width and height of image
- file size - how big each tile is
- storage type (Tiff/COG/other)
- storage type (TIFF/COG/other)
