  1. The INSPIRE Geoportal Ioannis Kanellopoulos Spatial Data Infrastructures Unit European Commission Joint Research Centre Institute for Environment and Sustainability

  2. The INSPIRE EU Geoportal • Requirements • Current Status • Development • How to participate • Compliance testing • State of play

  3. The INSPIRE Geoportal • Requirements (1) • Required by the INSPIRE Directive • Provide access to the Member States INSPIRE services • Aim to provide an operational platform to satisfy the requirements of the directive and IR • Development and operation under EC responsibility • INSPIRE geoportal dependent on the IR development

  4. The INSPIRE Geoportal • Requirements (2) • discovery services - search for spatial data sets and spatial data services on the basis of the content of corresponding metadata, display the metadata content; • view services - as a minimum, display, navigate, zoom in/out, pan, or overlay spatial data sets and display legend information and any relevant content of metadata; • download services, enabling copies of complete spatial data sets, or of parts of such sets, to be downloaded; • transformation services, enabling spatial data sets to be transformed; • “invoke spatial data services”, enabling data services to be invoked.

  5. Challenges of the INSPIRE Geoportal Multilinguality The European Union comprises 23 official languages. This has significant impact on how discovery of data and services is performed. Distribution A European SDI is formed by regional and local SDIs that have their own Metadata models, Catalogues, etc. Diversity Information is represented in various data models and coordinate reference systems.

  6. Current Status • Prototype Development • Under the responsibility of EC JRC • Open to joint developments with MS • Test drive International standards and specifications • Valuable resource of experiences • Support INSPIRE DTs • provides a test platform for the development of the INSPIRE IRs • Current Priorities • Metadata • Discovery services (catalogue interoperability) • View services

  7. INSPIRE Architecture

  8. View Client • Catalogue Client • Management • Access control INSPIRE geoportal Architecture

  9. Metadata Catalogue • Access to distributed metadata catalogues • Real time search • Harvesting/caching • Services and interfaces compliant with draft INSPIRE IR and international specifications and standards (ISO, OGC)

  10. Catalogue Architecture

  11. Access Distributed Catalogues EC JRC Distributed Catalogues study (2006) http://inspire.jrc.it/reports/DistributedCatalogueServices_Report.pdf • Assess state of the art in metadata catalogue technologies and “test drive” use of standards • Specific adapters need to be implemented on a case by case basis • Shortcomings in OGC specification result in too many degrees of freedom in implementations • Impact • OGC updated specification 2.0.2 • ISO TC211 ad hoc group established

  12. Germany: CeGi GEOcatalog Geodatenkatalog France: BRGM Italy: Regione Lombardia Spain: IDEC IDEE The INSPIRE geoportal performs federated catalogues search others: EEA ESA IGOS

  13. International Cooperation • GEOSS Architecture Interoperability Pilot • Clearinghouse; • Web Portal.

  14. Current and Future Developments • Alignment of metadata editor, search criteria and discovery with INSPIRE (draft) IR (2007-2009) • View services according to INSPIRE (draft) IR (2007-2010) • Multi-lingual (2008-2010) • Use of thesauri (2008 - 2009) • Provide reference info to DTs (continuous) • Download services, incl. security (2008-2011) • Registries (2008 - ….) • feature catalogues, glossary etc

  15. Multilingual search and discovery Search for : … soils sols suelos boden + Metadata are created and discovered in various languages. Multilinguality will include : 1. Automatic translation of metadata contents 2. Multi-lingual search, including translation of search keywords

  16. Roadmap

  17. Requirements for participation • Availability of catalogue service • Compliant to OGC catalogue service (OGC CSW 2.0) specification OR • Availability of metadata • Through a web accessible folder • Upload metadata files to the geoportal • Metadata compliant with INSPIRE (draft) IR or ISO 19115/19119/19139, or DC OR • Provision of appropriate transformation tools • View services • compliant with OGC WMS

  18. What for? • Metadata Catalogues • To perform interoperability tests • To benchmark performance issues • To Investigate different scenarios/topologies (e.g. real-time vs harvesting) • View Services • To be viewed through the INSPIRE Geoportal map client

  19. Metadata State of Play Compliance Testing • The document contains an inventory of existing solutions for compliance testing and interoperability checking of metadata taking into account the draft INSPIRE metadata implementing rules under the assumptions that the metadata will be available in the XML format following an INSPIRE metadata schema definition file • This survey has proved that users can find, at present, different solutions as on the software market of commercial products as in the freeware source areas. These solutions can address the main requirements related to management (including validation and interoperability) of metadata resources. • http://www.ec-gis.org/inspire/reports/ImplementingRules/network/Metadata%20State%20of%20Play%20EUR%20report.pdf

  20. Services State of Play Compliance Testing • The document contains an inventory of existing solutions for compliance testing and interoperability checking of services, the assumption being that the services are web services. • According to the evidence collected it seems that any software solution that will have to consider the INSPIRE requirements for web services and their interoperability cannot abstract from the “state of play” of a SOA architecture and its evolution. The problem with a “standard” SOA stack is that the well-defined and accepted “layers” associated with TCP/IP and OSI don’t exist. • http://www.ec-gis.org/inspire/reports/ImplementingRules/network/Services%20State%20of%20Play%20EUR%20report.pdf

  21. Data State of Play Compliance Testing • The document contains an inventory of existing solutions for compliance testing and interoperability checking for data taking into account the draft INSPIRE data specifications conceptual model (D2.5), the first draft of the INSPIRE Methodology for the development of data specifications (D2.6) and the first draft of the data Specifications Guidelines for the encoding of spatial data (D2.7), with a particular attention paid to checking compliance with “application schemas” as defined in the previously mentioned documents. • The solutions, platforms and software packages investigated will need more time to adjust to the INSPIRE final requirements and get in tune with the involved standards. • http://www.ec-gis.org/inspire/reports/ImplementingRules/network/Data%20State%20of%20Play%20EUR%20report.pdf
