<font face="verdana, sans-serif">From the legal point of view, both the
transposition of the INSPIRE Directive (Legislative Decree 32/2010) and
the "Codice dell’Amministrazione Digitale" defined the RNDT is the
national reference in this context :</font></div>

from a technical and operational point of view, the tests carried out
in July 2013 and January 2014 by the Joint Research Centre of the
European Commission (upon request of the Agenzia per l’Italia Digitale)
have shown that the CSW service and almost all of the metadata harvested
are fully compliant to the provisions of Regulations 1205/2008
(metadata) and 976/2009 (network services) of the European Commission,
as well as the related Technical Guidelines.</font></div>

the test performed in January 2014 reported 4412 metadata "passed" and
412 "passed with warnings" out of a total of 5540 "harvested" metadata
(the total available metadata in the RNDT are 6143) .</font></div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">The level of compliance to INSPIRE is almost complete for the metadata related to data (<b>4415 out of 4462</b>) .</font></div>
