[OSM-talk-be] historische kaarten als basis??

[Ben Laenen]

These administrative boundaries really seem to be a problem...

Does anyone have any idea what official institution actually keeps this 
information? It should be described at least somewhere I'd think and my 
naive self hopes there's somewhere a series of laws describing all 
boundaries, but I have the feeling the NGI is the official 
institution...

But I mean, there should be at least one law telling how to know in 
which municipality a certain place is, right?
