10. Conclusion

In the Netherlands, many high resolution datasets are freely available through the PDOK Services plugin. You have learned how to add layers to your project and to save them to your harddisk.

For areas with less data availability, you can use global open datasets or derive them from satellite imagery. Often these datasets have a much lower spatial, temporal and/or thematic resolution.

Open data resources can be found here. They can often be added through OGC standards. Watch this playlist to learn more about data sharing and using open data in QGIS:
