Kadaster, the Dutch national land registry and mapping agency, holds some of the Netherlands’ most important public datasets — including the national address register (BAG), topographic base register (BRT), and cadastral map register (BRK). These datasets existed in isolation, making cross-dataset exploration difficult and limiting their potential for reuse by government bodies, developers, and researchers.
The Solution
Semaku provided Product Owner and data architecture expertise to help Kadaster build a platform for publishing these national registries as linked open data. The platform exposes datasets through a unified linked data interface and dedicated dataset APIs, enabling users to explore data across registries and build applications on top of structured, standards-compliant open data.
The Outcome
Kadaster now publishes key national datasets as linked open data, accessible to government agencies, developers, and the public through a unified platform. The architecture supports both exploratory querying across datasets and programmatic access via APIs, laying the foundation for a new generation of data-driven public services.
