Geomorphological Land Classification Maps of Flood-stricken Areas (GLCM) are thematic maps that estimate flood conditions by reading geomorphic elements. Due to their being paper maps that are not published, it is difficult to get hold and utilize GLCM, although they are very useful in order to know and understand flood-disaster risks in local areas. In light of this, we established an online digital GLCM archive. The characteristics of the archive are: 1) GIS data release, and 2) arranged usage rules for re-use. First, we created raster GIS data from paper maps. Second, we obtained permission for re-use from publishers and the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI). Third, we arranged usage rules for re-use based upon ID. Fourth, we prepared map image APIs (Application Programming Interface), such as Web Map Service (WMS), XYZ tile and Tile Map Service (TMS). Fifth and finally, we opened the digital archive in March 2016.
