The European Commission Joint Research Centre has published the latest version of the INSPIRE metadata implementing rules technical guidelines titled: INSPIRE Metadata Implementing Rules: Technical Guidelines based on EN ISO 19115 and EN ISO 19119 (75 pages, Version 1.2, Date: 16th June 2010). A change control document has also been published that accompanies the technical guidelines titled: INSPIRE Metadata Implementing Rules: Changes from V 1.1 to V. 1.2 of Technical Guidelines based on EN ISO 19115 and EN ISO 19119 (10 pages, Version 1.2, Date: 16th June 2010)
The Guidelines Introduction states:
“According to Article 5(4) of Directive 2007/2/EC, the INSPIRE Implementing Rules shall take account of relevant, existing international standards and user requirements. In the context of metadata for spatial data and spatial data services, the standards EN ISO 19115, EN ISO 19119, and ISO 15836 (Dublin Core) have been identified as important standards.
Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1205/2008 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards metadata was adopted on of 3rd December 2008, and published on the Official Journal of the European Union on 4th December (OJ L 326, 4.12.2008, p. 12–30). Any reference in this document to “Implementing Rules for Metadata” refers to the above mentioned Regulation.
Regulation 1205/2008 has been amended with the corrigenda published in the OJ L 328/83 of 15.12.2009 as follows:
- On page 12 delete the subtitle “Text with EEA relevance” (European Economic Area)
- On page 20, Annex D, point 1.3 replace “Spatial data services (services)” with “Spatial data services (service)”.
PLEASE NOTE that in the course of this revision, another typing error has come to light in the Regulation 1205/2008 which will need a further amendment. In Part D 4, the language neutral name for element 501: Geoparameter calculation service should be (thematicGeoparameterCalculationService) and not (thematicGoparameterCalculationService) (part in bold is added to put in evidence the typing error.
The aim of this document is to define how the Regulation can be implemented using EN ISO 19115 and EN ISO 19119. The following subsections describe for each element of the Regulation its relation with the mentioned European standards.
This is an initial version of this document that will be developed further in collaboration with the stakeholder community and relevant standardization organizations.”
