<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Noël Van Herreweghe of Corvé/Bestuurzaken Flemish government published a list of datasets that should be open data according "decreet openbaarheid van bestuur / decreet hergebruik van overheidsinformatie" and the new policy at the Flemish Government that databases should be open by default, not by exception.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">

<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">you should send an email to the responsible organisation. If the organisation declines you the access to this we can start a "beroepsprocedure". In all other cases we will have a bunch of new open data :)</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I already did this for Codex Vlaanderen. They first reacted a bit slow and asked me question about how I wanted the data. When I got it, I've put it on Github. Right now they are moving towards a more professional way of opening up their data. All because just one question.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">

<div>This is also relevant here, the data in this list should be available as open-data (same licence as CRAB) and there is a lot of geo-data. A few highlights from that list:</div><div><br></div><div>- GRB</div><div>- MRB Wegen</div>
<div>- De Lijn routeplanner</div><div>- ...</div><div><br></div><div>@jo: I you want you can now request full access to the data from de lijn quoting this <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">"decreet openbaarheid van bestuur / decreet hergebruik van overheidsinformatie", they should give you the relevant data including an appropriate licence without you having to guarantee them . I think this also implies the schedules.</span></div>
<div>@marc: I see 'Inventaris Bouwkundig Erfgoed' and other relevant stuff! :-)</div><div><br></div><div>If you plan on trying to get a dataset then maybe it's a good idea to post this on this list. This will prevent duplicate efforts.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I will try and get the GRB/MRB wegen or access to it.</div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr">Met vriendelijke groeten,<br>Best regards,<br><br>Ben Abelshausen</div></div>
