The Large-scale Reference Database (LRD) is a geographical base map and object-oriented database for Flanders that contains information on buildings, roads, parcels, and other infrastructure. It is maintained through a public-private partnership and aims to be the single authoritative source of geospatial information. The LRD undergoes regular updates through various processes to integrate new or changed objects based on data from public works, surveys, and other sources. Its data is freely available through download and web services and is used widely in both public and private applications. Officials are working to develop the LRD into interconnected base registries that can serve as foundational geospatial references.
