Belgium : the Federal State structure and the levels of power

At the top-level, a three-level structure• the Federal State • the Communities • the Regions

They are on an equal footing but have powers and responsibilities for different fields.

At the intermediate level, the provinces• They are supervised by all the higher government

authorities, in the context of the federal, community or regional powers.

At the bottom level, the cities• It’s the level of administration that is closest to the

people, under the supervision of the higher authorities

CadMap : a major step towards a cadastral GIS (1/2)

• Main objective : manage and update the cadastral map under digital form

• Achieved results : • 30.000 sheets digitized (done in collaboration with the 3

Regions)• Integration of the 30.000 digitized sheets into shapefiles,

with recuperation of the intermediate updates based on the analogical sketches

• Storage in a central electronic document management system

• Update tools build on ArcView by ourselves• Printing tools to provide official extracts of the cadastral

map• 1/1/2006 : 1st official version of the digital cadastral map

CadGIS : introduction

• Is the ultimate result of the GAPD strategy concerning the cadastral map modernization

• Is the cadastral Geographic Information System

• Main objective is to manage the cadastral map and deliver the geographically referenced data in a more efficient and appropriate way

CadGIS 15/05/2013 20

CadGIS : expected benefits

• For GAPD agents :• An integrated tool relying on modern technologies that

enables them to optimize the achievement of their mission

• For GAPD partners and citizens : • Simple but fast ways to obtain the geographic data

while ensuring privacy

• For everyone : • Data intrinsic quality and legal certainty improvement

CadGIS : tender

• Lot 1 : Implementation of the Patrimonial Documentation GIS

Won by Capgemini in collaboration with CSC et ESRI Belux

• Lot 2 : 100.000 continuity problems resolution

Won by Avineon

CadGIS 15/05/2013 22

CadGIS : realisation approach

• Project is divided into 2 sequential phases + preparation :

• Preparation :• Geometrical improvement (continuity)• Consolidation (RUP based : processes, UC, …)

• Release 1 (publication) :• 4 viewers• 3 INSPIRE related services

• Release 2 (update tools) : • 2 main modules : light & heavy modifications

CadGIS 15/05/2013 23

CadGIS : preparation phase – geometrical improvement (1/3)

CadGIS : preparation phase – geometrical improvement (2/3)

CadGIS 15/05/2013 25

CadGIS : preparation phase – geometrical improvement (3/3)

• Approximately 100.000 continuity problems between the cadastral sheets had been detected and documented in order to be corrected via outsourcing

• This work was completed at the end of 2011

• The geometrical improvement is being continued

CadGIS 15/05/2013 26

CadGIS : preparation phase – consolidation phase

• Methodology based on RUP• Business processes• UC• …

CadGIS 15/05/2013 27

CadGIS : technological choices

Release 1•Implementation with the help of the ArcGIS suite•Viewers in Flex (Adobe) with the Rest API•Business logic in java on the application server•Architecture : separate layers, near MVC model•Integrated within FPS Finance standards

Release 2•Light modifications tool will be implemented in Flex – Rich client•Heavy modifications tool will be based on an ArcGIS customization (.Net – C#)•Common modules will be packaged in an atomic way

CadGIS 15/05/2013 28

CadGIS Release 1 : viewers (1/3)

• 4 viewers (adapted for specific groups of users) :

• Any web user : free access (with basic functionalities) : http://ccff02.minfin.fgov.be/cadgisweb/

CadGIS Release 2 : current status & planning

• Elaboration phase (ongoing September 2013)

• Consolidation• Functional architecture• Technical architecture• Data model• …

• Prototype

• CadGIS Release 2 expected in July 2015

CadGIS 15/05/2013 33

CadGIS : perspectives & conclusions

• CadGIS Release 1 is still fresh but a lot of users have been responding with interest and enthusiasm

• CadGIS is already a privileged link between the Administration and the citizens / professionals / partners

• CadGIS Release 2 will improve the cadastral map management and update rhythm

• More challenges are yet to come :• A lot of documentation can still be integrated in the GIS

(buildings description & plan, surveys description, …)• CadGIS – STPAD complete integration

• Belgian Cadaster has been selected to receive a Special Achievement in GIS (SAG) award at the 2013 Esri International User Conference
