INSPIRE - Geographical names in Wallonia (BE)

Description

This spatial data layer compiles information that is part of the INSPIRE theme "Geographical Names" and complies with the data specifications defined for this theme. The European Directive 2007/2/EC - INSPIRE Directive - establishes an infrastructure for spatial information in the European Community. INSPIRE applies to 34 thematic areas divided into 3 Annexes. This spatial data layer contains information on geographical names in Wallonia (Annex 1.3). For the purposes of the Directive, the elements considered to be geographical designations are: "names of areas, regions, localities, large cities, suburbs, medium-sized cities or settlements, or any other geographical or topographical feature of public or historical interest". The data layer therefore includes the location, in an ad hoc form, of the following elements: - Walloon administrative units (Region, Provinces, Municipalities); - Former Walloon municipalities; - Hamlet and localities; - Heritage elements included in the UNESCO World Heritage List (architectural ensemble, monument); - Natura 2000 network sites and protected natural sites classified by the IUCN (forest reserves, underground cavities of scientific interest, approved and state-owned nature reserves, wetlands of biological interest). The point is positioned at the most significant place in the area or place concerned (centroid, city or specific object, etc.) and allows it to be identified. Each point is characterised by an identifier, the endonym of the area/place (name regularly and commonly used in the official language), the data source, a description, the reference language, etc. Where possible, toponyms are written in several languages (maximum 4 - French, Dutch, German, English). A business analysis of the data produced by the Public Service of Wallonia was conducted to determine whether or not they fit into the theme "Geographical names". The data comes from multiple sources and is managed by different data managers (technical operators) internal to the Public Service of Wallonia. This data layer is continuously updated.
