[Qgis-user] A discussion: is qgis still affordable in Europe if it violate the Inspire directive ?

[Andrea Peri]

Hi,

AFAIK the qgis server is not complaint with Inspire.

This beacausethe Response to GetCapabilities is not responding to the
requisite that the OGC will require for it.

Originally the qgis was simply generate an incompatible response for the
XSD of OGC.

The response is ncompatible for thre thinks:

1) the GetCapabilities is in the wrong namespace.
This is a silly question anc could be easily resolved.

2)
The presence of the GetStyle that is dismissed from OGC wms 1.3.0.
Please notice that the Inspire require the WMS 1.3.0 .
To resolve this the QGIS groups has copied the XSD of OGC and modifica it
to redirect to a different XSD not in the OGC site.

3) The presence of a Proprietary tag inserted without any reference to any
standard.
The GetPrint.
This is not present in any other product.

My question is for any person of a Public Administration that plan or are
funding QGIS.

In Europe the Inspire directive will ask to promove the Interoperability.

The interoperability strategy ask that every produc that allow the inspire
directive will speak the same language using the same tags and
functionality.

The QGIS solution to add a proprietary tag and to write a own different xsd
that overlap the standard OGC xsd will create the presuppost (AFAIK) to
vilate the Inspire directive.

If this is true A Public Administration should not use the QGIS.

This is a realproblem for us that invest many fund on qgis.

So I like toknow the opinion of other public administration.

Before still fund a product that seem to violate the Inspire directive
principles.

Thx,
