INSPIRE compliant download service (ATOM) for geographic information of the datasets of the Marine Strategic Framework Directive made available by the Royal Belgian Institute for Natural Sciences (RBINS).

The national wastewater-based epidemiological surveillance monitors public health parameters in several wastewater treatment plants across Belgium. This webservice contains the results per treatment plant since the beginning of the surveillance in September 2020. The results consist of concentrations over time as well as other data needed for the interpretations such as the flow rates of the treatment plants and the population covered.

View Service (WMS) for Automatic weather station (AWS) observations

Mapindex is a WMS which allows viewing the regular index grid which has been defined on five levels for the entire Belgian territory. It has been defined in order to allow a zonal geolocation. The present version is a beta version (v2) which is submitted to the emergency services. It will evolve to a standard cartographic grid.

This is the discovery service of the pan-European spatial datasets provided by the European mapping and cadastral agencies: EuroGlobalMap, EuroRegionalMap, EuroDEM, Open Cadastral Map, Pan-European Imagery, Open Gazetteer. The datasets are openly available accessible on the platform Open Maps for Europe (OME) http://www.mapsforeurope.org/.

This web service allows viewing the NGI data which comply with the INSPIRE specifications. It gives an overview of the INSPIRE data which are for sale.

View Service (WMS) for Synoptic observations

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 1989, derived from aerial surveys carried out by the National Geographic Institute (NGI). During this period, only analogue aerial photographs are available. The analogue images were scanned at high resolution and orthorectified. The resulting orthophotos were assembled into mosaics and georeferenced in the Lambert 2008 coordinate system. All orthophotos are panchromatic (black and white). The ground resolution (GSD) is 10 cm. The spatial coverage of this service is limited to the areas 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).

This web service allows viewing the datasets under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD).
