AdminVector

AdminVector is the vector data set of Belgian administrative and statistical units. It includes various classes. First class: Belgian statistic sectors as defined by the FPS Economy. Second class: municipal sections, with no unanimous definition. The five following classes correspond to official administrative units as managed by the FPS Finance. Other classes are added to these classes, like border markers or the Belgian maritime zone. The boundaries of the seven first classes are consolidated together in order to keep the topological cohrence of the objects. This data set can be freely downloaded.

Purpose
AdminVector contains data which are used primarily for making topographic and administrative maps. However, shifting data or other forms of generalization on behalf of these cartographic applications are avoided during the production of the vector data. As a matter of fact, these data constitute a geographic reference inventory and as such can be used as the basis for a wide range of applications. Whenever it was possible, national and international identification codes have been linked to AdminVector in order to facilitate links to other data sets.

Explanation
The dataset’s compliance with the technical requirements as defined by the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 has not been checked
Statement
The first production of the administrative vector data at a conceptual scale of 1:10 000 by the NGI was executed by digitalizing the administrative boundaries on the basis of analogous topographic maps at the scale of 1:10 000. These data now come from the General Administration of Patrimonial Documentation (GAPD) of the FPS Finance and from Statbel, except for the border posts and former municipalities.
Description
The data are updated using official sources such as the law gazette and the General Administration for the Documentation of the Patrimony (land register office)
