And if it's a by the piece permission, first of all the boundaries
which are the only feature you can't see from above or walk with a

that particular answer back).<br>

Boundaries are the property of IGN. Walloon Regio, etc. just copy
information from them.<br>
<br>
I think we should make contact with IGN/NGI to obtain this
information.<div class="im"><br>

<blockquote type="cite">Une directive européenne est pour
l'instant [2006] en cours de préparation, imposant l'obligation
de croiser les données de référence. Notre interlocutrice [de
l'IGN] confirme : "<b>Nous devons utiliser davantage les
informations collectées par d'autres organismes</b>. Une
collaboration avec les régions est l'idéal. <b>En échangeant
nos données</b>, nous pourrons mettre nos renseignements plus
rapidement à jour. <b>Nous visons à créer une banque carrefou</b><b>r</b><b>
d'informations géographiques</b>, un réseau dans lequel l'IGN
serait un pivot important. Nous ne collecterions les données
qu'une seule fois et tous les autres organismes seraient
immédiatement avertis des changements. <b>Nous aimerions
aboutir en 2010</b>. Ces dernières années, nous avons
également cherché des points de convergence avec la Défense.
Nous faisons notamment appel à son imprimerie."<br>

Thanks again and ... good luck. <br>

I had contact with IGN before. They were, in March 2013,
*completely* *OPPOSED* to open data. People change, mind change; but
we should know that.<br>
