The data set contains a seamless polygonal layer representing the land cover in Belgium for the year 2006 and the year 2012. The polygons are spread over 32 classes from the CORINE Land Cover legend which are present un Belgium. The minimum map unit is 25 ha. The conceptual scale is 1:100 000. The data set also contains a polygon layer showing changes of more than 5 ha in the land cover between 2006 and 2012.

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.

s'Top10Vector – Hydrography' is the dataset of the Belgian hydrography. This dataset comprises 6 feature types. The basis of the hydrographic network is formed by watercourse segments [HY_watercoursesegment]. The surface of larger watercourses is represented by watercourse surfaces [HY_watercoursesurface]. Water surfaces [HY_watersurface] and wetlands [HY_wetland] are also included in the dataset. Water points [HY_waterpoint] are point features where water reaches the land surface naturally or disappears into the subsoil. Another type of point feature is the kilometre marker [HY_waterwaykilometremarker]. The dataset can be downloaded via the links in 'Access' at the bottom of this page.

An hillshade is a homogeneous and regular points grid, indicating the grey tone deriving from their orientation relative to the chosen fictitious light source. The Hillshade DTM 1m is a representation of the hillshading of the DTM 1m.

'Top10Vector – Particular Zones' is the vector dataset covering areas within Belgium that are designated for a specific purpose. This dataset contains just one feature type [ZO_particularzone]. The dataset can be downloaded via the links in 'Access' at the bottom of this page.

The DTM 5m, digital terrain model at 5m-resolution, is a homogeneous and regular point grid indicating the height of the ground level in order to model its surface, without taking into account objects on the surface such as buildings and vegetation. The DTM 5m is the result of the assembly of different data coming from various sources and with different coordinate systems and resolutions. The DTM 1m is achieved by interpolating in Lambert 2008 source data in Lambert 72 and at a 1m-resolution from the Flemish (2013-2015) and Brussels (2021) regions, and by adding Lambert 2008 data at 1m-resolution from the Walloon Region (2021-2022). The DTM 5m is obtained by resampling of the DTM 1m. In addition, the DTM 5m is improved and updated internally using direct photogrammetric surveys based on the most recent aerial photographs.

‘Top10Vector – Railway network’ is the dataset of the railway network in Belgium. This dataset includes 3 feature types, namely the railway track segments [RA_railwaytracksegment], railway stops [RA_railwaystop] and railway kilometer markers [RA_railwaykilometremarker]. The dataset can be downloaded via the links in 'Access' at the bottom of this page.

MapIndex is a regular grid of rectangular or square cells coded with alphanumeric characters. It has been defined for the Belgian territory and allows geolacating several events. The present version is a beta (v2)version which is submitted to the emergency services. It will evolve to a standard cartographic grid.

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).

The DSM 1m, digital surface model at 1m-resolution, is a homogeneous and regular point grid indicating the height of the Earth’s surface level in order to model its landscape, also including objects on the surface such as vegetation and buildings. The DSM 1m is achieved by interpolating in Lambert 2008 source data in Lambert 72 and at a 1m-resolution from the Flemish (2013-2015) and Brussels (2021) Regions, and by adding Lambert 2008 data at 1m-resolution from the Walloon Region (2021-2022).
