Flanders Heritage has run a geoportal since 2013. It's grown and changed a lot since then, but its basic goals and architecture have stayed largely the same.

Flanders Heritage Agency is a government agency and scientific institution responsible for architectural, archaeological, landscape and maritime heritage. Today we're taking part in the Ilucidare Playground: Cracking the future of heritage. We bring new technologies and paradigms together with our responsibility for heritage, to improve preservation, support decision-making and management, and inform the public. Here are a few concrete results of that innovation-driven approach.

One of the most defining traits of immovable heritage is right there in the name: it doesn't move. Our landscapes, monuments, archaeological sites and so on all have a location, and with a few odd exceptions, they always have. Move such an object from its original spot and it stops existing as that object. So how do you find out what's located where?
