Abstract
How to Create a European INSPIRE Compliant Data Specification
Track: Spatial Data Infrastructure
Author
The European NMCAs have a decade of experience of data harmonisation at the European level with their products EuroGlobalMap, EuroRegionalMap and EuroBoundaryMap. To meet the increasing demands for reference data, consolidated data specifications are required to facilitate the interoperability of topographic reference information of European NMCAs according to the requirements set in the INSPIRE directive and other user requirements at the European and Global levels.
The ExM data specification, currently developed by the ESDIN project, is a multi-scale information model for harmonised cross-border, cross-theme and cross-resolution topographic and administrative reference data. The presentation outlines the approach to the development of ExM as a set of profiles of the INSPIRE Data Specifications for large, medium and small scales comprising the parts of the INSPIRE Data Specifications that are in the remit of the NMCAs and for which a European coverage can be achieved.
