Wuppertal ATOM Feed Soil Monuments

The ATOM Feed Download Service for the Soil Monuments in Wuppertal provides a spatial data extract from the Wuppertal Monument List, which includes all Wuppertal soil monuments (mostly underground archaeological monuments) with their non-personal attributes in geographical data formats. In terms of content, the data set includes the (as of 11/2017) 48 soil monuments in Wuppertal. Two of these landmarks are mostly located on Remscheid’s urban area, they are taken from the list of monuments in Remscheid and are marked with a “RS” preceded by the monument number. For each landmark, the record shows the monument number, the address, the common name, the date of entry in the monument list, the scope of protection and a hyperlink to the web application “Denkmalliste Online”. In the Monument List Online, a long text description of the soil monument as well as in some cases also photos, map sections or other raster documents are offered. The list of monuments of the city of Wuppertal has been kept since August 2008 with the special procedure ProDenkmal of PROSOZ Herten GmbH. A secondary spatial database is derived daily from a database view in the ProDenkmal database, which serves as the basis for the provision of the data on monument protection in the Wuppertal spatial data infrastructure. In this database, the surface areas digitised outside the ProDenkmal process are recorded with visual accuracy as multipolygons. The ESRI shape files and KML files of the soil monuments provided as open data under the CC BY-ND 4.0 license (with exclusion of data change) are updated weekly in an automated process. According to the AG Geokom.NRW of the leading municipal associations in NRW and the state of NRW, there is a statutory publication obligation for the soil monuments in accordance with the requirements of the INSPIRE Directive and the Geodata Access Act NRW. In the recommendation for action of this WG, the architectural monuments are assigned to the topic of “protected areas” in Annex I to the Directive.
