INSPIRE Geoservices Wrapper 🇪🇺
Welcome to the EXPERIMENTAL wrapper for regional and national geoservices, including INSPIRE geoservices.
We maintain a document with Frequently Asked Questions
and a bot page.
Themes
Browse the INSPIRE themes × regions matrix — which
Annex themes are served where.
Services
Which WFS/WMS services are connected, whether they're currently reachable,
and which feature types/layers each carries: status page.
SPARQL over fetched documents at /sparql.
The deployed endpoints, with the formats each serves and the parameters each
accepts, as a machine-readable manifest: routes
(.json, .ttl).
Example URIs
Every resource answers in the format the client asks for (Accept header, or a
.json .ttl .rdf .nt .gml
suffix on the path); browsers get the map pages.
- wfs?s=…wfs_dlm250_inspire&type=/inspire/hy-p/4.0#Watercourse&bbox=9.90,53.50,10.00,53.55&count=3
— watercourses in a Hamburg bbox from BKG's INSPIRE DLM250 WFS, selected by
INSPIRE class (
type=) rather than the service's own typename
(.ttl)
- wfs?s=…wfs_dlm250_inspire&typenames=hy-p:Watercourse&bbox=…&like=hy-p:geographicalName/…/gn:text:*Elbe*
— the same type filtered by name pattern inside a bbox
(see FAQ: attribute filters)
- wfs?s=…wfs_gn250_inspire&typenames=gn:NamedPlace&eq=gn:name/…/gn:text:Pegnitz
— exact match over a whole service, no bbox: every named place called Pegnitz
- names?q=Pegnitz&s=…wfs_gn250_inspire
— the gazetteer shortcut: substring search on a service's configured name property
- id?ns=https://registry.gdi-de.org/id/de.bund.bkg.inspire.dlm250&id=DLM250_Watercourse_DEBKGDL20000BZGU
— one object by its INSPIRE identifier (namespace + local id), routed to the WFS
that issues that namespace
(.ttl)
- wms?s=…wms_dtk100&layer=dtk100&bbox=11.5,48.1,11.6,48.2&width=512&height=512
— a GetMap image (topographic map 1:100 000, Munich)
- tile?s=…wms_dtk100&layer=dtk100&z=12&x=2178&y=1420
— the same layer as a Web Mercator XYZ tile (
L.tileLayer-ready);
&f=ttl
describes the tile's footprint and ground resolution instead of rendering it
- nuts/DE2 — the Bavaria region page: its services on a map
(.ttl, with the NUTS hierarchy and GeoSPARQL geometry)
NUTS Regions
Browse the NUTS hierarchy (with EU-level services: Copernicus).
