BAG Toolkit 2.2
Tools/Downloads BAG Toolkit 2.2
introduction
The BAG Toolkit is used to model with the BAG. The BAG Toolkit 2.2 version is developed to process the BAG 2.0 (for the BAG 1 you can still use the BAG Toolkit 1.1).
The BAG is a rich dataset which can be used in many applications, but its exchange format (xml) is not very convenient for calculations and selections.
With the BAG Toolkit you can make the data available in a suitable format for modelling, calculate snapshots, derive entities/attributes and use the BAG addresses for geocoding.
extra attributes are:
- WoningType, see for example Woningtype layer in a ResidentialServices webmap
- Altitude
The snapshot process also generates an address table, with RD-coordinates.
components
The BAG Toolkit consists of three tools:
- BAG20_Xml2FSS -> To make the BAG available in a format suitable for modelling.
- BAG20_MakeSnapshot -> To make a snapshot of the BAG at a specific date and optional for a geographic extent/state selection and calculate (optional) derived entities and attributes.
- GeoCode -> To geocode addresses with meta information on how the results are derived. This tool we developed with the Spinlab department of the VU.
requirements
- GeoDMS version 7.326 or later
- Internal ram: 16 GB or more (as the BAG is a very large dataset)
- Hard disk space: 40 GB or more
- Access rights to your LocalDataDir (C:\LocalData) and SourceDataDir (default C:\SourceData). If not adjust these placeholders with the GeoDMS GUI > Tools > Options.
- For height information in snapshot, download the PHN and unzip it in your %SourceDataDir%/PHN folder, see also Folders and Placeholders
license
The BAG Toolkit is available under GNU-GPL version 3 license
download
The BAG Toolkit scrips can be downloaded here. Extract the files from the .zip file in your self made project folder (e.g D:\prj\BAG_toolkit)

- Since 2020, the scripts and resulting BAG snapshots in geopackage format are also available via geoparaat
- This configuration example (with data) show how a BAG snapshot can be used to relate attributes (e.g. to calculate the vbo surface or the address range for each pand) or how to make grid maps with the BAG.
