Data harmonization aspects of the Irish pilot project for INSPIRE data publishing and Network Services Gareth John (Department of Environment, Community and Local Government) Sören Dupke (con terra)
INSPIRE Pilot project 2012 - objectives (1) Assess the effort involved in transforming Protected Sites spatial data under the administration of the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and the Marine Institute (MI) and other public bodies into the INSPIRE Protected Sites Data Specification model. Assess the effort required to represent and maintain the Protected Sites Data Specification model on the internet as INSPIRE Network Services. Evaluate the effectiveness of the ArcGIS for INSPIRE software for delivering a compliant solution to meet Irish public bodies obligations for INSPIRE Data Specifications and Network Services. Examine the feasibility of a cost-efficient Shared Service approach for INSPIRE network services and ISDI delivery.
INSPIRE Pilot Project 2012 - objectives (2) Test the Network Services and hosting solutions against the Quality of Service requirements of the INSPIRE Network Services Regulation and INSPIRE Technical Guidance documents. Investigate licensing and security options for INSPIRE Network Services. Use the experience gained in this pilot to advise other Irish Spatial Data Infrastructure partners on the level of effort required to conform with the INSPIRE Directive and associated regulations. Leverage the investment made in INSPIRE implementation to improve spatial data sharing and modelling in the Irish public sector.
