Abstract:
The Service Public de Wallonie aims to set up an INSPIRE-compliant Georepository, using the “Projet Informatique de Cartographie Continue” (PICC) as a baseline. This dynamic geodatabase, initiated in 1992, covers the entire Walloon Region, in Belgium, with precision below 25 cm in x, y, and z coordinates, serving various sectors and undergoing continuous updates. As a major cartographic reference, it includes features, such as buildings, roads, and addresses, providing a comprehensive database for the entire region. Implementing the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) methodology, the study models the PICC update workflows and quality controls, resulting in 7 processes divided into 46 diagrams. This approach enhances the PICC management, streamlines processes, strengthens quality controls, and optimizes data architecture, ensuring its relevance and usefulness in a dynamic geospatial context.
