NEN3610 and GO Loader

Snowflake Software's tools are based on OGC and ISO Standards. At the core of the product lines lies a unique, generic, 'schema aware' technology that can work with any GML application schema.

It is this technology that enabled GO Loader to be easily adapted to the NEN3610 Basis Model developed by Geonovum, the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) executive committee in the Netherlands.

The NEN3610 Basis Model has been extended to the following referenced application schema:

NEN3610	Basimodel Geo-informatie
TOP10NL	Informatiemodel digitale topografische bestand van het Kadaster
IMRO	Informatiemodel Ruimtelijke Ordening
IMGeo	Informatiemodel Grootschalige geografie

Other models such as IMBOD, IMKICH, IMKL, IMOOV, IMWA and IMWE are currently in development and will be supported by Snowflake Software on their release. Further details can be found on the Geonovum Website.

Since NEN3610 and its referenced application schema are all based on the GML 3 standard, users can easily enjoy the capabilities of GO Loader to load the data into their database.

Benefits of Using GO Loader:

• One tool to load all NEN3610 application schema

• Supports any GML revision level
