Aim of this repository
The aim of this repository is to provide a POC to open OGC Compliant geodata services provided by the Swiss Confederation, Cantons Municipalities, the Principality of Liechtenstein and third parties. Inspired by the pre-POC wmsChecker and driven by the 4th Geounconference Workshop: Sujet / Thema 16 –– Service-Verzeichnis. For key findings, dive into the blog post. Updates of services are infrequent.
