Open data - Public API
Public Geo-information
Aangezien deze documentatie ook gebruikt wordt door ontwikkelaars die het Nederlands niet machtig zijn, verstrekken we deze informatie in het Engels.
Introduction
A subset of the GIPOD data is published as open data by Digitaal Vlaanderen, consisting of several WMS views, a WFS, API Features service and through Geopunt.
What is published?
The dataset consists of all public domain occupancies (groundworks, works and events) that are concretely planned or ongoing 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?

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 Taxonomies).
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.
