Public Geo-information
Introduction
A subset of the GIPOD
...
The GIPOD platform is being renewed during the period 2019-2023. Part of the renewal is a new public api, where the GIPOD information is made available to the public as open data.
Public API
The new public API is foreseen in the future, meanwhile the GIPOD data is available trough the Legacy Public API, the MobilityHindrance LDES or a WMS service.
MobilityHindrance LDES
As part of the public API MobilityHindrance is available as an LDES.
OGC services
Based the renewed GIPOD data model, new OGC services are foreseen in the future, these will include Mobilityhindrance and Public Domain Occupancies WMS, WFS and features services.
Meanwhile the data is published as open data by Digitaal Vlaanderen, consisting of several WMS views, a WFS, API Features service and trough Geopunt.
What is published?
The dataset consists of all public domain occupancies (groundworks, works and events) that are concretely planned and all resulting mobility hindrances that are validated by local governments.
The dataset is temporally bound to all occupancies and mobilityhindrances that occur today and during the next 6 months.
How is it published?
Web Map Service (WMS)
Service endpoint: https://geo.api.vlaanderen.be/GIPOD/wms (
more information)
Web Feature Service (WFS)
Service endpoint: https://geo.api.vlaanderen.be/GIPOD/wfs ( more information)
OGC API Features
Service endpoint: https://geo.api.vlaanderen.be/GIPOD/ogc/features ( more information)
Geopunt Hinder in kaart
The data is also published in the Flemish Government mapviewer “Geopunt Hinder in Kaart”.
Linked Open Data
GIPOD uses the “Inname openbaar domein” application profile, which has been developed within the GIPOD project as Linked Open Data and allows for the creation and disclosure of occupancies, mobility measures, and obstructions in the public domain in a linked manner.
MobilityHindrance LDES
Linked Data Event Streams (LDES) represent a framework for publishing, sharing, and linking real-time event data on the web, enhancing the interoperability and accessibility of dynamic information across diverse applications and domains.
The GIPOD planned MobilityHindrance is published as an LDES.
More information about the endpoints can be found in the GIPOD swagger documentation (look for Ldes).
Taxonomies
Different concepts such as statuses, types, specifiations, etc. used in GIPOD are published trough our taxonomy API. This can come in handy to interpret data or build code lists.
More information about the taxonomies can be found in the GIPOD swagger documentation (look for Taxonimies).
Legacy services
Legacy WMS
The GIPOD data is available trough a legacy WMS, which is now obsolete, and is to be fased out in 2024. The WMS can be accessed here: https://geo.api.vlaanderen.be/gipodpubliek/wms
...
The legacy public api (https://api.gipod.vlaanderen.be/ ) will be available during a transition period. Data from the new GIPOD will automatically flow to the existing current public API.
Support
Communication to the outside world about the public API will be done through a github repository. You are also welcome to do suggestions or ask questions. If you wish you can add code examples on using this API to this repository using pull requests, or provide links.
Disclaimer
We don't offer any SLA on service, data, performance or response times during the development of the new APIof the API’s, if you require such service levels, please contact us at mailto:digitaal.vlaanderen@vlaanderen.be .
