 **QGEP** is a selection of tools and a database implementation to work with the data in the data structure for wastewater and GEP, short VSA-DSS.
 
-.. note:: The Data Structure for urban drainage systems of the Swiss Waste Water Association (in German Verband Schweizer Abwasser- und Gewässerschutzfachleute (VSA)), referenced to usually as VSA-DSS was published 1999 and is since then the valid standard for data covering General Water Drainage Planning (in German Generelle Entwässerungsplanung (GEP). When applying VSA-DSS you also comply to SIA405 Abwasser, the subset for sewer networks as described in `Norm SIA405 (Merkblatt 2015 / 2016) <http://www.sia.ch/de/dienstleistungen/sia-norm/geodaten/>`_. More information you can find on the homepage of the `VSA <http://dss.vsa.ch>`_

-.. note:: We also recommend you to get a licence for the data model by purchasing the **CD VSA-DSS** with the datamodel in INTERLIS, object catalogues and additional description and introduction and transfer datasets in the `VSA Shop <https://vsashop.ch/de/A~21_1100~1/Datenstruktur-Siedlungsentw%C3%A4sserung-VSA-DSS-Lizenz/Mitglied>`_
+.. note:: We recommend you to get an access licence for the VSA-Wiki by purchasing it in the `VSA Shop <https://vsashop.ch/de/A~21_1100~1/Datenstruktur-Siedlungsentw%C3%A4sserung-VSA-DSS-Lizenz/Mitglied>`_. You will get answers and access to all model related questions, like the the datamodel in INTERLIS, object catalogues and additional description and introduction and transfer datasets, the Wegleitung GEP-Daten and information about changes and updates aswell as the right to test and convert unlimited INTERLIS dataset for one year with the `VSA Checker <https://vsa.ch/fachbereiche-cc/siedlungsentwaesserung/generelle-entwaesserungsplanung/datenmanagement/#GEP-Datachecker>`_. Some cantons offer this access for free for engineering companies and communities - please check with your Environmental office.
 
-To work with QGEP-tools, it is important to know also the following norm: `Wegleitung GEP-Daten <https://vsashop.ch/de/A~11_1104~1/Wegleitung-GEP-Daten/Mitglied/Gedruckte-Publikation>`_ which is a practitioners guide to modelling reality into GIS and hydraulic datamodel of the VSA and there specially the annex "**Erfassungsgrundsätze**" (data acquisition policy).

The VSA offers it as a full package on the `VSA-Wiki <https://vsa.ch/Mediathek/gep-datachecker-jahresgebuehr/>`_ which also includes acces to the VSA-Checker (a tool to check INTERLIS files)
 
 This is important because with VSA-DSS you do not only describe the manholes and channels (wastewater structures as constructive part), but with the nodes and reaches you do create the hydraulic model of the sewer network (network elements) also.
