Second price on the Flemish Government Hackathon!

Last Friday our team won the second price on the hackathon of the Flemish Government. This was achieved by combining several open data sources in a webmap and publishing the web map adding specific functionality. After the hackathon, a combination of the winning application (http://www.mijnlucht.be) was realized showing air quality for government offices.

Thermography of city of Ghent (Belgium)

In March 2010, the city of Ghent was thermographed during the night in order to show heat loss of rooftops. The data are made available through a website but also as a service which is combined here with the large scale basemap made available by the Flemish Government. Another interesting fact about this map is that has been published by a private portal for ArcGIS from the Flemish Government, not on arcgis.com.
