The data for Flanders is available [1] through Agiv, I mean The Organisation Formerly Known as AGIV. It comes with the Gratis Open Data Licentie, which we decided is safe to use. I would think the real authority is found in paper archives in municipal basements. One day the community boundaries will stop being "voorlopig" in the file offered by TOFKAGIV, and then that file will probably become the only and official truth. For now, a big cleanup looks unnecesary, but where small errors on our side cause problems, we can use the Agiv dataset as a reference for fixes. 1: https://www.agiv.be/news/2016/februari/update-voorlopig-referentiebestand-gemeentegrenzen
