There are 10 registrations in the Netherlands, each with its own national register. Every registration is regulated by law, which guarantees the quality of the data. Examples are the cadastral (BRK), addresses and real estate (BAG), property valuation (WOZ), large-scale topography (BGT) and the trade register (HR). Governments are obliged to use the registers in every work and decision-making process.
Virtually any governmental work processes, from the collection of Property Taxes (OZB) to the granting of permits, uses one or more registers in combination with additional data. In GeolinQ the various registrations can be collected and linked with additional data to generate information products for work processes. The brochure “GeolinQ and Key Registers” describes how the GeolinQ platform can be used to centrally access these key registers.
The province of Flevoland, the municipal partnership Syntrophos and municipalities such as Waalwijk retrieve the basic registration from national facilities with GeolinQ and combine them to informationproducts. The information is always up to date and available to users in GeolinQ and often linked to other applications.
Each register has its own technical interface for retrieving data. GeolinQ offers the needed configurable interfaces to connect with each of the registers and retreive updates on a daily base.
Registrations and additional data can be linked to each other in GeolinQ by configuration. In addition to a link to a unique key of a registration links can also be made between, for example, addresses or geometries. Examples of linking registrations are:
Based on the collected and linked registrations, information products can be configured for work processes. The information products can be made available to users in multiple forms, from maps, reports to web services and file export. The registrations can therefore be integrated into any work process with GeolinQ, thus complying with the mandatory use of the registrations.
IntellinQ offers the data management platform GeolinQ for the easy collection, processing, and use of geographical data.
