Belgium Data Desk

Belgium Data Desk connects Claude to about 21,700 Belgian open-data records from federal, regional and local publishers: Statbel, the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE), the National Bank, IRCEL-CELINE, Infrabel, Fluvius, Elia, the Flemish, Walloon and Brussels agencies and many cities. Ask in Dutch, French or English. For common needs such as population, enterprise numbers, company accounts, air quality, unemployment, train punctuality, elections, addresses or parcels, the official reference source comes first, with who publishes it and the pitfall to avoid, for example the municipal mergers of 1 January 2025 or the difference between benefit counts and the unemployment rate. For every dataset Claude sees the publisher, the licence and whether it allows reuse, the update cycle, a contact point, declared columns and whether the download link worked when last checked. For CSV files Claude can preview the real columns, types and sample rows, including Belgian semicolon and decimal-comma files. Free, read-only, no account. Answers describe catalogue metadata, link checks and file samples; they do not certify the numbers inside a dataset.
