LAND and MANKIND, it’s a tale of an extended close companionship, 
		from therein he was emerged, and will then come back to rest therein. 
		It’s him who dwells it and it’s him who developed and shaped its 
		features. 
		Human, great expectations, which stems from their hopes and their 
		striving for a decent prosperous life and sustainable development, it’s 
		really a human urge, which requires us to have real and live view of 
		land, to detect what changes and transformations are therein, and to 
		structure and represent its natural features, through utilizing advanced 
		technical means.
		It’s from this point that the concept of establishing Geo-Reference has 
		been emerged, with view to be the reference, in providing high quality 
		Geospatial Data, information systems, and to provide reliable advisory 
		services, suitable solutions which will be of great help for both 
		private and public sectors, to enhance capability, in dealing with and 
		managing land and land related rights and laying the foundations for
