This dataset contains a matrix of distances between all Belgian municipality centres as defined in the AdminVector product. The distance is in km and is rounded to an integer.

Top10Vector – Local topography is the dataset of the Belgian orography. This dataset consists of eight classes. First class: earth banks. Second class: additional geometry of the slope surface. Third class: dune zone. Fourth class: historic mounds. Fifth class: cave entrances. Sixth class: cone-shaped slag heap. Seventh class: steeps. Eight class: embankments. This dataset can be downloaded via the link in 'Access'.

INSPIRE compliant discovery service for geographic information made available by the Belgian Federal Government.

This dataset consists of historical aerial imagery (1947-2007) commissioned by the National Geographic Institute. It includes the spatial footprints and metadata of individual photographs as well as the corresponding flight paths of the aircraft used during image acquisition.

Top50Map is a digital version of the NGI’s topographic cartography on a scale of 1:50 000. 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. It can be used for on-screen viewing or printed on scales between 1:25 000 and 1:50 000 (recommended threshold values). Top50Map is meant for regional use.

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 Copernicus Urban Atlas (UA) provides European, comparable and detailed land use and land cover maps for the main Functional Urban Areas (FUAs). The Urban Atlas Street Tree Layer (UA-STL) is a separate layer of the Urban Atlas 2012. It includes contiguous rows or patches of trees covering 500 m² or more with a minimum width of 10 m within the urban mask of the Urban Atlas 2012. Gaps between tree patches or within a larger patch that are less than 10m wide are included in the Street Tree Layer. There is no thematic content other than the presence or absence of trees. The UA-STL is a new product and no accuracy threshold was provided as part of the Urban Atlas specifications. The UA STL product validated currently covers just over 7% of the total UA2012 area.

The contour lines are the set of lines connecting all points at the same elevation in a model used to represent the relief on a large scale.

This dataset contains a set of 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, cult elements, patrimonial elements, elements of general interest, infrastructures, economy). POI types that have a link with the NGI topographic reference data are systematically monitored to ensure consistency between these data. But for other POI types, there is no guarantee of completeness and correctness. These are updated ad hoc when an error or incompleteness is noticed.

Top10Vector is Belgium's series of topographic vector data. The dataset contains 35 feature classes, which are divided into eight themes (road network, railway network, high-tension network, constructions, land cover and vegetation, local relief and particular zones). Each theme can be downloaded separately via the metadata page of the relevant theme, or collectively as Top10Vector via the link in 'Access' at the bottom of this page.
