This dataset comprises historical orthophotos from the 2000s to 2009, derived from aerial surveys carried out by the National Geographic Institute (NGI). The ground sample distance (GSD) of the images ranges from 25 to 100 cm. The mosaics were created using aerial photography campaigns dating from 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The original photographs were digitised and orthorectified in the Lambert 2008 coordinate system. The spatial coverage for each year corresponds to the areas for which photographs were available.

The European Urban Atlas provides reliable, inter-comparable, high-resolution land use and land cover data for 800 Functional Urban Area (FUA) for the 2012 reference year in EEA39 countries. This datasets contains the FUA for Belgium (Antwerpen, Brugge, Bruxelles_Brussel, Charleroi, Gent, Kortrijk, Leuven, Liege, Mons, Namur and Oostende).

Orthophotos are digital aerial photographs in which the systematic distortions caused by the central projection, terrain relief and an image acquisition axis that is not always perfectly vertical have been corrected. The national orthophoto coverage is renewed annually. This dataset always contains the most recent operational orthophoto mosaics for the entire territory of Belgium. When the most recent acquisition campaign does not provide full coverage, the dataset is composed of the last one or two campaigns. In the current version of the dataset, the most recent national orthophoto coverage consists of a combination of the 2023 and 2024 campaigns. The orthophotos have a spatial resolution of 25 cm in Wallonia and 12.5 cm in Flanders and the Brussels-Capital Region. The source data are supplied by the Belgian administrative Regions. NGI harmonises these regional datasets (geometrically and radiometrically) into a single national mosaic, georeferenced in Lambert 2008 (EPSG:3812) and tiled according to the MapIndex1 grid. The dataset is INSPIRE-compliant and can be downloaded as compressed JPEG2000 files (JP2) per MapIndex1 tile, with the corresponding world file (.j2w) and metadata describing the extent of the tiles.

Under the territorial divisions are grouped different datasets that represent fully recognised Belgian geographical units. The AdminVector dataset encompasses the statistical sectors defined by the FPS Economy, the administrative units maintained by the FPS Finance and their centres, as well as the boundary stones. The datasets of the judicial cantons and judicial districts are built on the basis of their definition in the Judicial Code. The dataset of electoral districts is built on the basis of its definition in the Electoral Code. The dataset of the postal districts contains the boundaries of the Belgian postcodes managed by bpost.

Top10Vector – Constructions is the vector dataset of constructions in Belgium. It includes seven classes. First class: brunnels. Second class: buildings. Third class: particular line constructions. Fourth class: particular polygonal constructions. Fifth class: particular point constructions. Sixth class: towers on buildings. Seventh class: additional polygon geometries. This dataset can be downloaded via the link in 'Access'.

AdminMap is the digital version of the administrative map. Two versions exist: the most complete one on the scale of 1:300 000 and a simplified version on the scale of 1:500 000. These maps show the different administrative units on the Belgian territory, from the federal State to the center of the districts for the 1:500 000. The map also shows the map grid of the National Geographic Institute. An index allows localizing the different units. The index also contains information on the linguistic statutes and on the postal codes.

This dataset comprises historical orthophotos from the 1970s to 1979, derived from aerial surveys carried out by the National Geographic Institute (NGI). The ground sample distance (GSD) of the images ranges from 25 to 50 cm. The mosaics were created using aerial photography campaigns dating from 1971, 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979. The original photographs were digitised and orthorectified in the Lambert 2008 coordinate system. The spatial coverage for each year corresponds to the areas for which photographs were available.

Top10Vector – Particular zones is the vector dataset of portions of the Belgian territory having a particular attribution which makes them different from the objects in the other Top10Vector-themes. This dataset includes only one class which can be downloaded via the link in 'Access'.

This dataset comprises historical orthophotos from the 1990s to 1999, derived from aerial surveys carried out by the National Geographic Institute (NGI). The ground sample distance (GSD) of the images ranges from 25 to 100 cm. The mosaics were created using aerial photography campaigns dating from 1995, 1997, 1998 and 1999. The original photographs were digitised and orthorectified in the Lambert 2008 coordinate system. The spatial coverage for each year corresponds to the areas for which photographs were available.
