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

  • The web application G-DOC provides information on all Belgian geodetic reference points. These points can be used as starting points or checkpoints to determine coordinates according to the national reference systems. three groups of geodetic reference points are available: 3D points, altimetric points and planimetric points.

  • This webservice allows viewing 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. The heights are given relative to the Belgian zero level (fictitious zero of Uccle). The data have a resolution (size of the meshes of the regular grid) of 20 cm.

  • This service allows the visualization of historical orthophoto mosaics based on available aerial photographs covering parts of the Belgian territory. The data is accessible via a Web Map Service (WMS). Orthophotos are aerial photographs that have been geometrically corrected (orthorectified) to eliminate distortions caused by terrain relief, lens distortion, and camera tilt. Unlike raw aerial imagery, orthophotos have a uniform scale and accurate geometry, making them suitable for cartography, measurements, and visual analysis. This specific service includes historical orthophotos from 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009, derived from aerial surveys carried out by the National Geographic Institute (NGI) and the Regions. From this period onward, both analogue and digital aerial photographs are available. The analogue images were scanned at high resolution and, like the digital ones, orthorectified. The resulting orthophotos were assembled into mosaics and georeferenced in the Lambert 2008 coordinate system. The orthophotos are either panchromatic (black and white) or in colour (RGB), depending on the year and location. The ground resolution (GSD) varies between 10 cm and 100 cm, depending on the sensor used and the surveyed area. The spatial coverage of this service is limited to the zones for which aerial photographs were available during the mentioned period. The service has been cached using the WebMercator TileMatrixSet, with a maximum scale denominator of 4,265.459167699568 metres (scale level 17).

  • 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.

  • The entities included in the dataset represent the Belgian road transport network in the sense of the Inspire European directive. The dataset comprises several classes. The RoadLink class represents, in a linear manner, all of the road links between each pair of dots for the network considered. The footpaths, cycle paths or carriageways that connect the pairs of dots correspond to as many entities in the class. The RoadServiceArea class represents the sections of space devoted to auxiliary road transport functions, such as service stations or rest areas. In addition to this are two classes without geometry. RoadWidth class describes in metres the width of each segment of the "road links" class. The "functional importance" class ranks the segments of the "road links" class by functional importance on the road transport network.

  • DSM 1m is a homogeneous and regular point grid indicating the height of the Earth’s surface level in order to model its landscape. DSM 1m is achieved by interpolating in Lambert 2008 source data in Lambert 72 and at a 1m-resolution from the Flemish and Brussels Regions, and by adding Lambert 2008 data at 1m-resolution from the Walloon Region.

  • Landcover100Map is a digital version of the NGI’s topographic cartography on a scale of 1 :100 000. The images come from the symbolisation of the objects and the themes in the topo-geographic inventory of the Belgian territory (ITGI), which is built and kept up-to-date by the NGI. Landcover100Map is meant for a regional use on a larger scale than the one for Top50Map, typically on the scale of a province. The land use theme is very salient in this topographic cartography. The relief is represented by shadowing.

  • 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.
