Municipal map of La Louptière Thénard

This COVADIS data standard concerns communal map documents (CCs). This data standard provides a technical framework describing in detail how to dematerialise these town planning documents in a spatial database that can be used by a GIS tool and interoperable. This standard of data covers both the graphical plans of sectors and the information overlaying them. This standard of COVADIS data was developed on the basis of the specifications for the dematerialisation of planning documents created 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 provides definitions and a structure for organising and storing spatial data from communal maps in an infrastructure, while the CNIG specifications are used to frame the digitisation of these data. Part C ‘Data Structure’ presented in this COVADIS standard provides additional recommendations for the storage of data files. These are specific choices for the common data infrastructure of the ministries responsible for agriculture and sustainable development, which do not apply outside their context.
