Network of marks whose planimetric coordinates are known with precision according to the reference systems which are used in Belgium.

An hillshade is a homogeneous and regular points grid, indicating the grey tone deriving from their orientation relative to the chosen fictitious light source. The Hillshade DTM 5m is a representation of the hillshading of the DTM 5m.

The product is made of 5 "high resolution layers" covering all the Belgian territory as part of a European-wide coverage for the reference year 2015. The 5 layers concern 4 distinct themes: Imperviousness, Forest, Grasslands, Wetness and Water. The 5 layers were produced by an automatic classification based on satellite images and collateral data and achieved by private companies (EEA service providers), and they were verified by Belgium. At the Belgian level, verification and enhancements were made by IV for the northern part and SPW for the outhern part. The NGI coordinated the project. Data was produced with funding by the European Union.

Riparian zones represent transitional areas occurring between land and freshwater ecosystems, characterised by distinctive hydrology, soil and biotic conditions and strongly influenced by the stream water. They provide a wide range of riparian functions (e.g. chemical filtration, flood control, bank stabilization, aquatic life and riparian wildlife support, etc.) and ecosystem services. The Riparian Zones products will support the objectives of several European legal acts and policy initiatives, such as the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, the Habitats and Birds Directives and the Water Framework Directive. Two complementary product groups provide detailed information on the state and characteristics of riparian zones across Belgium: 1. Land Cover / Land Use (LCLU) 2. Green Linear Elements (GLE)

The eTOD digital terrain model (DTM) is a homogeneous and regular point grid that models the height of the ground level for Belgian territory and the height of the sea level in the maritime zone. The primary source is the NGI DTM 5m, which is itself compiled based on the most recent altimetry data of the three Belgian regions and is periodically updated per map sheet at a scale of 1:50,000 using recent stereoscopic aerial images. Where available, updates from the notification platform for aviation obstacles and terrain changes are also integrated. For this DTM, the resolution (1 arcsecond) and the coordinate reference system (WGS84 + EGM2008) are used as defined in the eTOD specifications.

Points Of Interest - Cult elements contains point elements relating to the cult, namely churchs (anglican, catholic, orthodox, protestant), mosques, synanogues, buddhist temples, chapels, abbeys, priories and other religious buildings or small monuments in Belgium.

This dataset shows a digital surface model. It is a homogeneous and regular points grid which indicates the height above the surface of the earth, either the soil or any other permanent and visible element in the landscape (vegetation, construction,…). These data represent the situation of the landscape resulting from the July 2021 floods in het areas of the Vesdre, of part of the Meuse downstream from Liège and of the Demer.

Territorial Divisions is the vectorproduct representing the geographical units of Belgium. The product consists of 16 feature types grouped into 4 topics: ‘AdminVector’, ‘Judicial cantons and arrondissements’, ‘Electoral cantons’ and ‘Postal cantons’. The AdminVector dataset includes the statistical, geographical and administrative units of Belgium. The dataset of the judicial cantons and arrondissements displays the geographical units used for the organisation of the courts. The dataset of the electoral cantons consists of geographical units used for the organisation of elections. The dataset of the postal cantons includes the boundaries of the Belgian postal cantons. The product can be downloaded in its entirety via the links in 'Access' at the bottom of this page. Each of the themes is also available as separate datasets on their own webpage.

MapIndex is a regular grid of rectangular or square cells coded with alphanumeric characters. It has been defined for the Belgian territory and allows geolacating several events. The present version is a beta (v2)version which is submitted to the emergency services. It will evolve to a standard cartographic grid.

An hillshade is a homogeneous and regular points grid, indicating the grey tone deriving from their orientation relative to the chosen fictitious light source. The Hillshade DSM 1m is a representation of the hillshading of the DSM 1m.
