This COVADIS data standard concerns local urban planning documents (PLUs) and land use plans (POS that are equivalent to PLU). This data standard provides a technical framework describing in detail how to dematerialise these urban planning documents into a geographical database that is exploitable by a GIS and interoperable tool. This data standard concerns both graphic zoning plans, the overlaying requirements and the regulations applicable to each type of zone.This COVADIS data standard was developed on the basis of the specifications for the dematerialisation of urban planning documents updated in 2012 by the CNIG, itself based on the consolidated version of the urban planning code dated 16 March 2012. The recommendations of these two documents are consistent even if their purpose is not the same.
The COVADIS data standard offers definitions and a structure to organise and store existing PLU/POS geographical data in an infrastructure in digital form, while the CNIG specifications serve to frame the digitisation of this data.
The ‘Data Structure’ section in this COVADIS standard provides additional recommendations for data file storage (see Part C).
These are specific choices for the data infrastructure of the MAA and MEDDE that do not apply outside their context.The communal maps are subject to another COVADIS data standard.
