Good morning,thanks a lot for your reply. It is difficult to see for me how 
you could see "by field survey" where administrative boundaries run. This is 
impossible, as they are not a physical feature. Therefore, the only valid 
reference are the official data. I agree that OSM is quite good, but there are 
definitely instances where the borders deviate by "a few metres" or more – 
which, for certain purposes, makes a big difference. Indeed, so far I have 
corrected mistakes by hand, based on the cadastre. As the only valid data one 
could imagine when it comes to administrative boundaries are the official ones 
(be it from the cadastre or from ING) it would still, in my opinion, be better 
to import those into OSM rather than correcting manually here and there.

 Hello,
To me this dataset is not necessarily better than what we have in OSM (as we 
corrected some border by field survey .... where this dataset is wrong). I 
would never "replace" blindly all existing geometry by this one. I think we can 
say that we are more or less correct (i never saw errors of more than a few 
meters) - and i find it better to improve the current boundaries by hand : 
checking the official sources, the reality on the ground, ... For example, i 
had a part of a street that i surveyed recently where the addresses changed of 
municipality (to have the whole street in the same municipality and not cut it 
before the last three houses). We are correct in OSM, but not yet in the 
official data (as they don't update often enough). Technically, it is not the 
official source for administrative boundaries in Belgium, as the official 
source is the Cadastre - which is also open - but it is not yet accurate enough 
(even if they are improving it a lot recently).

EN: Good morning, from time to time I make adjustments in OSM where the 
boundaries between municipalities in OSM are not exactly following the official 
data. However, this is a tedious process, and it would be nice, of course, to 
have the exact data for all Belgium municipalities (and former municipalities – 
"deelgemeenten"/"sections") in one go.Now, I have seen that it is possible to 
download the official border polygons from the site of the National Geographic 
Institute for free: IGN - produits - Données numériques . The only problem is 
that I have no clue whatsoever how this could be done technically, i.e. to 
replace the existing municipal boundaries in OSM by the correct polygons from 
IGN. Could anybody help with this?

NL: Goedemorgen, af en toe maak ik correcties in OSM waar de grenzen tussen 
gemeenten in OSM niet precies de officiële gegevens volgen. Maar dat is een 
moeilijke procedure en het zou natuurlijk leuk zijn om de precieze gegevens 
voor alle Belgische gemeenten (en vroegere gemeenten – "deelgemeenten") in een 
keer te hebben.Nu heb ik gezien dat het mogelijk is om de officiële 
grenspolygonen van de webpagina van het Nationaal Geografisch Instituut gratis 
te downloaden: http://www.ngi.be/FR/FR1-5-2.shtm. Het enige probleem is dat ik 
geen idee heb hoe je dat technisch moet doen, dus hoe de huidige 
gemeentegrenzen op OSM te vervangen door de correcte polygonen van het NGI. Zou 
iemand kunnen helpen?
FR: Bonjour, du temps en temps je fais des corrections dans OSM où les 
frontières entre les communes dans OSM ne suivent pas les données officielles. 
Mais cela est un processus pénible et il serait agréable, bien sûr, avoir les 
données exactes pour toutes les communes belges (et communes anciennes – 
"sections") d’un seul coup.Or, j’ai vu qu’il est possible télécharger 
gratuitement les polygons officiels des frontières du site de l’Institut 
National Géographique: http://www.ngi.be/FR/FR1-5-2.shtm. Le seul problème est 
que je n’ai aucune idée comment faire cela techniquement, c’est à dire comment 
remplacer les frontières communales existantes dans OSM par les polygons 
corrects de l’IGN. Est-ce que quelqu’un pourrait aider ?
DE: Guten Morgen, ab und zu bringe ich Korrekturen in OSM an, wo die Grenzen 
zwischen den Gemeinden in OSM nicht genau den offiziellen Daten folgen. Aber 
das ist natürlich ein mühsamer Prozess, und es wäre natürlich schön, die 
genauen Daten für alle belgischen Gemeinden (und früheren Gemeinden – 
"Teilgemeinden") auf einmal zu haben.Jetzt habe ich gesehen, dass es möglich 
ist die offiziellen Grenzpolygone auf der Webseite des Nationalen 
Geographischen Instituts gratis herunterzuladen: 
http://www.ngi.be/FR/FR1-5-2.shtm. Das einzige Problem ist, dass ich keine 
Ahnung habe, wie man das technisch machen müßte, mit anderen Worten wie man die 
Gemeindegrenzen, die in OSM derzeit existieren, durch die korrekten Polygone 
des ING ersetzen könnte. Kann mir da jemand helfen?
