Provinces of Gelderland, Drenthe and Flevoland

Gelderland, Drenthe and Flevoland are required to publish much of their data publicly. GeoCat Live is the unifying layer that publishes it centrally, consistently described and discoverable through each province's data portal, and reusable through standard APIs.

[ The challenge ]

Public data, scattered across systems

Public-data obligation

Required to publish large portions of their data publicly.

Scattered sources & formats

Data from many systems and departments, in varying formats.

Inconsistent metadata

Inconsistent metadata quality and time-consuming portal maintenance.

[ The solution ]

One unifying publication layer

Gelderland, Drenthe and Flevoland use GeoCat Live as the unifying layer that brings this complexity together. Datasets are published centrally, consistently described, and made discoverable through each province’s data portal. Through standard APIs, data is also made directly available for reuse by applications, researchers, and policymakers both inside and outside the provinces.
