Geodata models

Have you been tasked with developing ‹minimal geodata models› (MGDM) in your specialist area? Here you will find several documents to guide you. These recommendations provide general, methodological support and include a sample model documentation that can be used for free. Concerning the modelling of non-vectorial official geodata, we suggest you to use the directive of the Federal Coordinating Agency for Geoinformation.

Data model repository

Existing minimum geodata models are published in the data model registry and are publicly available at models.geo.admin.ch.
