INSPIRE: 7 September 2009

The European Commission Joint Research Centre (EC-JRC ) has published nine 'Data Specification Guidelines' and supporting documentation.

The news release states:

“The INSPIRE Thematic Working Groups, the Data Specification Drafting Team, and the JRC INSPIRE Team have finalised the third version of Data Specifications published as Guidelines for the spatial data themes referred to in Annex I of the INSPIRE Directive. They will supplement the Implementing Rule for interoperability of spatial data sets and services and allow for preparation for implementation. Together with the relevant materials (GML application schemas, UML models and registries), they will support the implementation and provide a better understanding of the requirements of the Implementing Rule.

The Draft Legislation for interoperability of spatial data sets and services is currently being prepared by the European Commission for submission to the INSPIRE Committee.

The guidelines and the related supporting materials are now publicly available.”

The Guideline covering 'Data Specifications on Addresses' relates to other European and Member State initiatives on address harmonisation and registers such as:

The European Union eContent funded project EURADIN (EURopean ADdresses INfrastructure), a best practice network promoting the European Address harmonization including the definition, registration and access to the European Address Data and involves 30 partners from 16 European Member States.
