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 view service makes it possible to visualise the national orthophoto mosaics for multiple acquisition campaigns from 2016 onwards for the entire territory of Belgium. A separate layer is published for each available year. In the current version of the service, the series of yearly layers runs from 2016 up to and including 2023, with 2023 being the most recent orthophoto coverage in this view service. For the 2016–2021 campaigns, the orthophotos have a spatial resolution of 25 cm throughout Belgium. From the 2022 campaign onwards, the resolution is 25 cm in Wallonia and 15 cm in Flanders and the Brussels-Capital Region. The view service is directly based on the orthophoto datasets of the Belgian administrative Regions, which are harmonised by NGI into a single national coverage without applying additional radiometric corrections. The orthophoto coverage is provided through this Web Map Service (WMS) and is intended for visualisation and use as a background map. For downloading the most recent orthophoto mosaics, reference is made to the associated dataset and download service “Orthophoto”.

The seismic zoning map for Belgium was published in the Belgian national annex (NBN EN 1998-1 ANB) to the European building code Eurocode 8 (EN 1998-1), which became effective in all European member states in 2011. This map classifies Belgian communes into five seismic zones, corresponding to different values of the reference peak ground acceleration (PGA) to be taken into account in the design of structures for earthquake resistance. In combination with the importance class of the building and the ground type, the reference PGA is used to calculate the design response spectrum defining the accelerations that the structure should be able to withstand without collapse. For further details and the precise specifications, users should consult the normative documents, which can be ordered from the Bureau for Standardisation NBN (https://www.nbn.be/en). The Eurocode-8 seismic zoning map for Belgium was established by the Royal Observatory of Belgium, based on a reimplementation of the seismic hazard map of Leynaud et al. (2000) for a return period of 475 years (equivalent to 10% probability of exceedance in a timespan of 50 years). This hazard map was calculated following the principles of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, and based on a simple model of seismic sources and their activity in and around Belgium, and a single ground-motion model (or “attenuation law”), describing PGA in function of earthquake magnitude and epicentral distance. To date, this is the only seismic hazard map that has been published specifically for Belgium, and it is still considered as the official seismic hazard map for Belgium.

Cadastral Parcels - INSPIRE corresponds to the dataset of Belgian plan cadastral parcels complying with INSPIRE specifications. This dataset is composed of two classes. The first class contains cadastral zoning and the second class contains cadastral parcel. The entire dataset can be downloaded via the ad hoc WFS.
-
Network of marks whose planimetric coordinates are known with precision according to the reference systems which are used in Belgium.

Top10Vector – Land cover and vegetation is the vector data set of the land use of unbuilt land areas in Belgium. This data set includes three classes. First class: dry and unbuilt areas or areas not used as roads. Second class: hedges. Third class: linear vegetation. This data set can be bought via the corresponding hyperlink.
-
Geodetic markers of which the 3D coordinates are precisely known in common Belgian reference systems.

Govroam is a " wifi roaming " solution. This service offers to the users a simple and secure access to the wireless network of their institution, but also to networks of other participating institutions. A user from an organization that participates in govroam will be able to connect to any wireless access point broadcasting govroam. The data provided here makes it possible to locate these access points.
