In 2008 a transition program has started under supervision of the ministry of infrastructure and environment (MinIenM) to implement legally mandated key registry topography (BGT). The transition program initiated technical, organisational, financial, process and governance changes. After 3 year of negotiation a new national standard for topography was agreed. This standard IMGEO 2.0 incorporates all topographic object used by the national, regional and local authorities in support of their activities. The technical transition process involves migration of over 2D vector databases distributed over 500 public and private organisation to one uniform national 5D object database (NSDI). In order to be able to do this new legislation had to be developed the BGT Law and a new public sector governance model had to be implemented. The current Public Private Partnership LSV GBKN will be dismantled and transferred to a Shared Services Centre in the public domain.
