Ministry of Economic Affairs

Across the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and its affiliated agencies, including RVO and CPB, the challenge is not the availability of data but its visibility. GeoCat Live brings geospatial and non-geospatial data together in one searchable catalog built on open standards.

  • EZ · RVO · CPB United in one catalog
  • Geo + non-geo Data in one place
  • Open standards Interoperable by design

[ The challenge ]

From fragmented data to one clear view

Fragmented data

Large volumes of data spread across departments, systems and agencies.

Limited visibility

No unified view of what data exists, who owns it, or how it can be used.

Silos & duplication

Valuable datasets hidden in siloed systems and duplicated across teams.

[ The solution ]

One catalog, built on open standards

Information is fragmented across departments and systems, with no unified view. GeoCat Live is introduced as a central data catalog built on open standards for metadata management and interoperability. It brings together datasets from across the organization into a single, searchable environment, covering both geospatial and non-geospatial data.
