I'd also like to support the idea of having a dedicated INSPIRE
unit in OSGeo (if it's not too late may be having a bof on FOSS4G
[1] or a little meeting at the FOSSGIS-Konferenz [2] in
Rapperswil?).<br>

<pre wrap="">I support the idea of widening the group to SDIs in general which would be more inclusive (even if it is initiated and dominated by INSPIRE) - the use and application of open source for SDIs in developing countries is very relevant.

Hi Jachym,
A dedicated unit within OSGeo targeting INSPIRE and more broadly SDI would is IMO a great idea Jachym.
I recall, I proposed OSGeo to play a role of SDIC (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/181">http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/181</a> ) already good 4 years ago. :)
>From the user point of view, making the OSGeo desktop software INSPIRE-compliant would be a great asset - especially extending data interoperability to be able to export datasets to INSPIRE data models and automatically creates corresponding metadata.
INSPIRE network services, well, at least those I know: discovery, view, download; are close to OGC WCS, WMS and WFS - services already implemented in OSGeo software projects.

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] time for inspire committee at osgeo?
Hi,
I'm working on some presentation about OSGeo relationship to INSPIRE directive (some preliminary czech version of presentation, which should be presented at this years INSPIRE conference [1])
And it came to my mind, that OSGeo does not have any body, related to INSPIRE [2]
While I agree, INSPIRE is mainly EU-only topic, I think, implementing INSPIRE has big market potential and software, which does not indicate support for INSPIRE is banned from to be used in public organizations in EU. I believe, also "rest of the world" can profit from changes, necessary to be implemented in EU.
Therefore I would consider INSPIRE committee in OSGeo as important body, which would coordinate efforts of OSGeo projects towards INSPIRE, so that we could declare: OSGeo projects are INSPIRE ready or we are working on it.
Any opinions to this? I'm personally usually against forming "yet another committee", but in this case, I do not see the topic to be covered and it really is important issue here.
Jachym
