Hi All,<br>
<br>
I'd like to bring a proposal for the forthcoming GSoC, that is the<br>
support for INSPIRE. This proposal is twofold, one regarding the<br>
metadata support, the other regarding the support for the data<br>
transformation to meet the inspire schema. I would like to know your<br>
opinion before drafting the idea into the trac. I'm willing to mentor<br>
for the INSPIRE POV, and since I'm working at JRC I have the opportunity<br>
to take advantage of a direct contact with the very people who are<br>
developing the Directive. Martin Landa kindly made himself available to<br>
co-mentor from the GRASS POV.<br>

+1, but I think we should aim for generic metadata handling and then allow the use of specific schemas such as INSPIRE.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><div>INSPIRE is using some more general ISO standards, isn't it?</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Correct: it is build on ISO 19100 series of International
Standards. See [1].<br>I fully agree that the general aim should be a unified system to handle metadata (as Yann said, interchangable and exportable into online systems). <br>As I see it, the editor should remain general, to meet the users needs. See for example Geonetwork, it's possible to add or remove fields without restriction.<br>
The INSPIRE schema is a plus for the user, meaning that there will be
specific hints to guide the user, i.e. direct links with the parts of
the regulation involved in the compilation of each field of the
metadata (see for example [2]), the possibility to validate the metadata calling the API of
the INSPIRE validator [3], etc. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">

QGIS metatools is a nice example of such a generic tool allowing for specification of different schemas and for different outputs through the use of XSLT conversion.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
