WMS Service of the Geographical Nomenclature of Andalusia

Node of the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia (IECA). Regional Government of Andalusia. Service WMS 1.3.0 according to the INSPIRE profile of ISO 19128:2005 of the Geographic Code of Andalusia integrated into the Spatial Data Infrastructure of Andalusia following the guidelines of the Statistical and Cartographic System of Andalusia (SECA). Their names are in line with the INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC as well as their style. They are also associated with a visualization style defined by the IECA. The Geographical Nomenclature of Andalusia (NGA) is an IECA project started 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, extractive activities, 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 (Digital Vectorial 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 v1.2 recommended by the IDEE Working Group, was adapted in 2012 to the INSPIRE regulations and specifications on geographical names. The NGA is a dynamic register that is continuously updated and made available to the CEAS and the company through four synchronised public and free web services: the Geographic Name Finder and Interoperable NGA Download (WFS, WFS-INSPIRE) and Display (WMS) Services. Its purpose is to serve as a standardized reference of the toponymy of Andalusia.
