[Gfoss] Fwd: [geo-discuss] What to expect from the next INSPIRE implementing rules

[G. Allegri]

Più che un aggiornamento un terremoto! Si sta dicendo che i servizi
che non implementino *anche* un'interfaccia SOAP non saranno Inspire
compliant... C'era da aspettarselo, ma a cascata dovranno rimettere
mano anche a OGC, ecc.
Mah, mi sembra un gran baraccone...

> Data Specification
> ------------------
>
> The DT is not yet producing implementing rules on
> data specification. The work is coming in 2 phases:
> one of "methodology" and the other of "data models".
> Up to this point they have produced as phase 1 a
> documented "process of creating harmonised data
> specifications" and this will be published for
> consultation among SDICs/LMOs in August.
>
> This exists in order to give it to the Spatial
> Data Theme Communities who will actually be responsible
> for describing data models for each of the 40 themes
> in the INSPIRE Annexes I-III.
>
> These data models will be legally binding for all
> public authorities publishing geodata in Europe.
>
> INSPIRE went on the statute books on May 15th and
> from that date there is 2 years to implement the Directive
> eg to do what the Implementing Rules say you should do
> and also to transpose the Directive into national law.
>
> INSPIRE is a legal framework, its technological dictates
> are accidents of legal ones. The "Implementing Rules" exist
> so that we can have a gauge for INSPIRE compliance.
>
> Metadata
> --------
>
> This committee took an approach of finding a minimal abstract model -
> imposing no format and lookign ahead to "future distributed computing
> platforms". It was mentioned that amongst the commentary they received
> was a desire to know what was informative and what normative.
> They got 500 *distinct* comments through the SDIC/LMO process.
>
> I would like to see more of all of this process open in earlier stages.
