WFS Service of the Geographical Nomenclature of Andalusia

Description

Node of the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia. Regional Government of Andalusia. WFS service of the Geographical Nomenclature of Andalusia created in 2009 and integrated into the Spatial Data Infrastructure of Andalusia following the guidelines of the Statistical and Cartographic System of Andalusia (SECA). The Geographical Nomenclature of Andalusia (NGA) is a project of the IECA, started in 2004 with the Database of Toponyms 1:10,000 (BTA10), which contains more than 232,000 toponyms and geographical identifiers classified thematically in administrative areas, population entities, hydrography, orography, heritage, infrastructure, industrial, extractive activities, services and equipment. These toponyms have been georeferenced with a point geometry and their starting source is the toponymy included in the Topographic Map of Andalusia 1:10,000 (Digital Vectorial v1:1998-2003), basic cartography of the Autonomous Community, to which other sources are being incorporated to complete and / or normalize the toponymy of certain types of entity. The data model adopted follows the Spanish gazetteer model v 1.2, recommended by the IDEE Working Group. The NGA is a dynamic register that is continuously updated and made available to the CEAS and the company through four synchronised public and free web services: the Geographic Name Finder and interoperable NGA download (WFS, WFS-INSPIRE) and display (WMS) services. Its purpose is to serve as a standardized reference of the toponymy of Andalusia.
