This repository contains a dataset of deelgemeenten as used by Flanders Heritage Agency. In our (unofficial) terminology, a deelgemeente (sub-municipality) is a part of a current day gemeente (municipality) that historically used to be somewhat independent. Most of them were a gemeente before the mergers that took place during the seventies, but some of them were gone even before that time. As such this list reflects no special point in time and has no historical significance whatsoever. It is just the list we use in our day to day operations. Most importantly, the Inventaris Onroerend Erfgoed uses this list for indexing erfgoedobjecten, aanduidingsobjecten, waarnemingen, gebeurtenissen and thema's. You are welcome to use it, but please do NOT consider this an official list of deelgemeenten. As far as we know such a list does not exist either.

Three files are provided. Both provide the same data, but in different formats. The first, deelgemeenten.csv provides the data in csvformat. The second, deelgemeenten.json provides it in a simple json format. The third file, deelgemeenten.geojson provides it in geojson format. Although at the moment the geojson files contains no geographic information, it is possible that this will be added later on.
