Fisbroker How-To

==============

How to download geodata from a fis broker wfs (web feature server) via qgis and save it as a shapefile.

#### Find dataset

  1. Go to [fis broker](http://fbinter.stadt-berlin.de/fb/index.jsp)

  2. Choose one of the data sets. For example 'Hausumringe'.

  3. Click 'Zum Downloadlink (WFS)'

  4. Look for the 'Rechneradresse' point. Its an url like this one for the house-shapes in Berlin: http://fbinter.stadt-berlin.de/fb/wfs/geometry/senstadt/re_hausumringe

#### Load data with QGis

  1. **Download WFS client plugin.** You can install it via QGis by this steps: 'Plugins' -> 'Manage and Install Plugins...' -> search for 'wfs' -> choose 'WFS 2.0 Client' -> 'Install Plugin'

  2. **Download Geodata.** Open the plugin by clicking on 'Web' -> 'WFS 2.0 Client' -> 'WFS 2.0 Client'. Type in an url of a WFS. For example : http://fbinter.stadt-berlin.de/fb/wfs/geometry/senstadt/re_hausumringe. Click on 'Get Capabilities'. After that you can define a bounding box, a feature limit and a SRS (spatial reference system). For the datasets of houses you must choose featureCount = 550000 and SRS = EPSG:4258. SRS = EPSG:25833 should always work for the Berlin datasets.

  3. **Save as shapefile**

If you need to convert the srs of the shapefile you can do it with the help of ogr2ogr:

This command converts `input.shp`(SRS = EPSG:25833) to `output.shp`(SRS = EPSG:4326). 

```

$ ogr2ogr -t_srs EPSG:4326 -s_srs EPSG:25833 output.shp input.shp

```
