the whole of the Netherlands is uniform in terms of content and quality. This means that the file
is covered and meets described quality aspects for completeness, topicality and
accuracy. The BGT is intended for use on a scale of 1:500 to 1:5,000. It goes
on topographical objects such as buildings, roads, railways, watercourses, parks and
forests.

The content of the BGT is tailored to the joint information needs of the various
users of the file. An important starting point is that there must be
multiple use. This concerns both the source holders (municipalities, water boards,
provinces, Ministry of EZ, Ministry of Defence, Rijkswaterstaat and Prorail), as to other
