Download service (WFS-INSPIRE) of the Geographic Nomenclature of Andalusia

The Andalusian Geographic Nomenclature (NGA) is a project of the IECA initiated in 2004 with the Database of Toponyms 1:10.000 (BTA10), which contains more than 232,000 toponyms and geographical identifiers classified thematically in administrative areas, population entities, hydrography, orography, heritage, infrastructure, industrial activities, extractives, services and equipment. These place names have been georeferenced with a point geometry, which can be consulted through different reference systems. Its starting source is the toponymy included in the Topographic Map of Andalusia 1:10.000 (Vectorial Digital v1:1998-2003), basic cartography of the Autonomous Community, to which other sources are being incorporated to complete and/or normalize the toponymy of certain types of entity. The data model, based on the Spanish Nomenclature Model v 1.2 recommended by the IDEE Working Group, has been adapted in 2012 to the INSPIRE regulations and specifications on geographical names. The NGA is a dynamic register in continuous updating made available to the SECA and the company through four synchronized web services of a public nature and free of charge: the Geographic Name Finder and interoperable NGA download (WFS, WFS-INSPIRE) and display (WMS) services. Its purpose is to serve as a standard reference for the toponymy of Andalusia.Node INSPIRE of the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia. Junta de Andalucia.
