FAQ
What does the concept 'DAAS' mean?
DAAS is an acronym for Data-As-A-Service. The Omgevingsserver by SPOTinfo is a DAAS: it gives you access to numerous datasets that can be used for a wide range of applications.
What does it cost to use Omgevingsserver.nl?
Costs depend on the data subscription you choose. Omgevingsserver offers a basic package and a plus package. The plus package includes special map layers that require a larger investment. Contact us to discuss the options.
Can I add my own datasets?
Yes, Omgevingsserver is designed so that clients can also add their own specific thematic datasets. For now, however, this option is somewhat limited as it is still done manually at this stage. In the future, this will be automated. Your own datasets remain under your control via a private cloud. This means you always have access to your own data.
How does Omgevingsserver compare to other market players such as ESRI or GeoWeb?
ESRI and GeoWeb, like other providers of GIS systems and map viewers, primarily offer functionality and expand this with a collection of data layers to support it. Omgevingsserver, on the other hand, only provides geo-content. The functionality that uses this data is developed by third parties. This means Omgevingsserver data works very well within ESRI and/or GeoWeb tooling.
What is the availability percentage of the Omgevingsserver?
Omgevingsserver aims for an uptime of 98.5%.
How secure is Omgevingsserver.nl? How easy is it for data to be stolen?
Omgevingsserver uses basic user/password authentication and SSL. In theory, a breach is always possible, but standard security measures have been implemented.
Does Omgevingsserver.nl fall under GDPR regulations?
No, Omgevingsserver is limited to location-based data. For example, Omgevingsserver does contain cadastral parcel boundaries, but not personal data about those parcels. Data about activity in buildings also does not contain personal data.
Does Omgevingsserver.nl also serve Linked Data?
No, not yet. SPOTinfo currently has other priorities.
