Geoservices

Geoservices are spatially referenced web services which make geodata accessible in structured form. Through geoservices it is possible to network geographical information over the Internet and to view or exchange data.

Data supply: simple and direct

The geodata available from the Federal Administration can be obtained directly from the relevant Federal Office. Metadata can be obtained free of charge from geocat, Switzerland’s geographical metadata catalogue. Geodata can be downloaded free of charge subject to certain restrictions. Please observe all the relevant conditions of use.

Data Model (MGDM) Registry: Model Repository for basic geodata under the Federal Act on Geoinformation

The concept of the INTERLIS Model Repository (syn. data model store) is to make data models usable as an http resource. This involves storing the INTERLIS model files on a web server, where they can be used directly by the FME plug-in ‹ili2fme›, for example. The advantage for the user is that the model files and any other imported data models do not have to be stored locally.
