This web service allows downloading datasets from CORINE Land Cover-2018-Belgium, compliant with the INSPIRE data specifications

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.

This webservice allows the Territorial Divisions product, which represents all recognised Belgian geographical units, to be visualised. 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 districts includes the boundaries of the Belgian postal cantons. The link to the webservice is available under 'Access' at the bottom of this page.
-
The reference list in Belgium for the unique abbreviations of all Belgian cities and municipalities. It also includes the submunicipalities, which do not have a clear definition.

Points Of Interest - Economy interest contains point elements indicating the location of an economic activity, such as a brewery, wholesale market, (commercial, industrial) building, cooling tower, gas processing/disposal, slagheap, telecommunications, wind turbine, solar panel park in Belgium.
-
This web service allows viewing datasets from INSPIRE Contour Lines, and DTM.
-
This web service allows visualization of the Points Of Interest (POI) indicating the location of places of interest in Belgium, collected by NGI. The dataset consists of 97 POI types grouped into 6 classes (natural elements, religious elements, patrimonial elements, elements of general interest, infrastructures, economy).
-
The product is made of 6 "high resolution layers" covering all the Belgian territory as part of a European-wide coverage. The 6 layers concern 6 distinct themes: Imperviousness, Tree cover density, Forest type, Permanent grasslands, Wetlands and Permanent waterbodies. The 6 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 and enhanced by Belgium. At the Belgian level, verification and enhancements were made by AGIV for the northern part and SPW for the southern part. The NGI coordinated the project.
-
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).

This web service allows the visualization of altimetry data. More specifically, it allows to visualize the National Geographic Institute's digital terrain model and the contours associated with it. This service is compliant with the INSPIRE specifications.
