[Geodata] Fwd: INSPIRE Draft Implementing Rules Published

[jo at frot.org]

FYI... this is the draft for the part of the INSPIRE Implementing Rules
(for a common SDI in Europe) that deals with WMS and Catalog Services
at a minimum.

http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/implementingRulesDocs_ns.cfm
(most relevant - Discovery Services 3.0, View Services 3.0,
Network Services Architecture)

The previous draft was heavy on Geo(D)RM, it will be interesting to  
see what the significant changes are. The other tendentious issue has  
been the question of whether to mandate SOAP interfaces as standard  
for a European SDI.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Response_to_INSPIRE_Discovery_and_View_Draft
contains the notes from the FOSS SDIC response to last year's draft.

Note that while the Metadata rules had a round of public consultation  
after the first drafts went to registered organisations (including our  
FOSS SDIC)
these Rules are going direct to the Commission for approval /  
transliteration into a form that can be plausibly legally binding.
So they had better work for you.
