INSPIRE
� The INSPIRE process is a community initiative to build the ESDI
� support policy making in issues concerning protection of the environment
� to enable harmonisation across Europe
� through interoperable spatial data sets and services
� Guidelines for INSPIRE data specifications
� will provide a common framework
� for data interoperability
� transformation
� to enable data in local data models
� to be transformed to INSPIRE-compliant models
� Without need to re-engineer current processes
� Form foundation to INSPIRE interoperability
� to meet data providers legal obligation whilst ensuring continuity of their existing
business

Tried and Tested ™
� Schema transformation, quality evaluation and data encoding in GML3.2.1
� Reuse existing data and schemas with limited reengineering to achieve INSPIRE conformance
� Work with multiple sources across multiple themes
� Create a methodology for managing data change whilst continuously ensuring INSPIRE compliance
� Undertake impact assessments now!
� Three themes successfully tested during JRC INSPIRE Annex I data specifications testing (Cadastral Parcels, Hydrography & Transport)
� Schema transformed, quality assured and output in GML3.2.1 for multiple INSPIRE stakeholders in Belgium, Great Britain and the Netherlands

ESDIN
� ESDIN (ESDI “best practice” Network)
� Evaluate the theory of INSPIRE, of integrating National SDI to provide
the ESDI.
� 19 participants led by EuroGeographics, including 10 NMCAs and 5
research institutes
� 1Spatial is only UK technology provider contributing to methodologies
and services for data quality, transformation, generalisation and edge-
matching

INSPIRE Transformation Services
� a Draft Implementing Rules (IR) for Transformation Services document
� outlines the functional requirements of an INSPIRE Transformation Service
� Technical Guidance for the implementation aspects of an INSPIRE-
compliant service to meet these requirements
� minimise any potential ambiguity or the possibility of different interpretations
� on the purpose and meanings of operations and their parameters
� within the Implementing Rules
� provide confidence that such services can be realised in a practical way
� Development of Technical Guidance for the INSPIRE Transformation

Approach
� State Of The Art analysis for Data Model Transformation Services
� Data model transformation in Service Oriented Architecture deployments
� standards and technologies for schema description and model mapping
� existing data transformation and processing engines
� Identify key functional and non-functional requirements
� Present candidate architectures
� proposed implementation, identifying specific components,
� implementation of which will meet the requirements
� Select and justify the preferred architecture(s), describing the steps required to
implement them
� Built prototype based on the Technical Guidance
� Using Transport Networks, Hydrography and Cadastral Parcels from Partner Data Providers
� Produce a video promoting the availability and applicability of the Technical Guidance
