Top10Vector - Local Relief

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'.

Purpose
Top10Vector is a vector dataset containing the NGI's geometrically most accurate and semantically most detailed topo-geographic vector data. The data originate from the topo-geographic inventory of the Belgian territory which was build and is maintained by the National Geographic Institute. The dataset contains 35 feature classes, which are grouped in eight themes: road network, railroad network, hydrography, high-tension network, constructions, land cover and vegetation, local relief and particular zones. The geometry of the data of all these themes is described by x, y, z-coordinates. Top10Vector is available for the entire Belgian territory and can be downloaded in the form of a GeoPackage or Shapefiles.

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
For this data set, the NGI aims at an update cycle of 1 year for the road network, 3 years for the constructions and 6 years for all the other themes, The update processes vary according to the theme. The road network and the constructions are updated by means of photogrammetric restitution and field surveys. The geometry of these data is updated in stereoscopy (3D), using recent aerial color photographs. Moreover, some topological rules which apply to this dataset are checked. Next, these data are passed on to the field survey service which will update the attribute data. The update of all the other themes is done by interpretation on orthophotographs and field surveys.First, the geometry and the attribute data are updated in monoscopy (2D), using recent orthophotographs. Next, these data are checked on the field and completed. The NGI collaborates with other organizations for the update of certain themes (re-use of existing data). In order to respect the update cycles whenever it is possible, we sometimes work with subcontractors.
