Pos (Doc. of 03.12.1987) from the municipality of Lignières

This COVADIS data standard concerns local planning documents (LDPs) and land use plans (POSs that are PLU). This data standard provides a technical framework describing in detail how to dematerialise these planning documents into a spatial database that can be used by a GIS tool and interoperable. This standard of data concerns both the graphic zoning plans, the superimposed requirements and the regulations applying to each type of area.This standard of COVADIS data 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 provides definitions and a structure for organising and storing existing PLU/POS spatial data in an infrastructure in digital form, while the CNIG specification serves to frame the digitisation of such data. The ‘Data Structure’ section presented in this COVADIS standard provides additional recommendations for the storage of data files (see Part C). These are choices specific to the MAA and MEDDE data infrastructure that do not apply outside their context. Communal maps are the subject of another COVADIS data standard.
