5. The Case

6. Collecting data from planned industrial areas
What?
- Stages
- Geometry
- Urban planning requirements
Where?
- Belgisch Staatsblad
- Ruimte Vlaanderen
- Provincies
- Gemeenten
- Other
How?
- Copy/paste
- Georeferencing
- User updates
How it used to be:
Stages:
PV = Plenaire vergadering
VV = Voorlopige vaststelling
DV = Definitieve vaststelling
BG = Besluit tot goedkeuring
BS = Publicatie B.S.
NA = Natraject
SC = Planschorsing

7. Collecting data from planned industrial areas
- Time consuming
- Low efficiency
- Incomplete
- Time gaps
- Room for errors
- Hard to trace conversions
- Interpretation
Disadvantages

13. Automating the process
- Time consuming -> very fast
- Low efficiency -> automated proces
- Incomplete -> almost complete
- Time gaps -> daily update
- Room for errors -> no errors
- Interpretation -> scraping pdf only
- Hard to trace conversions -> automated proces
Through the use of FME and DSI:
Improvements: use of AI in stead of regex

14. What I like the most about FME
Transformers are named after what they actually do
Multiple output ports Feature count/inspect
