Abstract |
|
This self-learning module provides examples of metadata and data validation against the requirements of the applicable Implementing Rules and Technical Guidelines of INSPIRE. Using different tools, examples are given on how to validate existing metadata and/or create compliant metadata according to INSPIRE Implementing Rules for Metadata (Commission Regulation (EC) No 1205/2008). Examples are also given on integrating the six additional metadata elements for interoperability required by INSPIRE Implementing Rules for interoperability of spatial data sets and services (Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010). This module shows how to assess the degree of conformity to the requirements specified by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 relevant to a GML dataset belonging to INSPIRE Annex II/III data themes. Conformity is assessed through an Executable Test Suite (ETS), i.e. physical implementation of the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) defined in the Annex A of the Data Specifications. |
