> *INSPIRE Data Specifications Guidleines published*
> 
> The INSPIRE Thematic Working Groups, the Data Specification Drafting
> Team, and the JRC INSPIRE Team have finalised the third version of Data
> Specifications published as Guidelines for the spatial data themes
> referred to in Annex I of the INSPIRE Directive. They will supplement
> the Implementing Rule for interoperability of spatial data sets and
> services and allow for preparation for implementation. Together with the
> relevant materials (GML application schemas, UML models and registries),
> they will support the implementation and provide a better understanding
> of the requirements of the Implementing Rule.
> 
> The Draft Legislation for interoperability of spatial data sets and
> services is currently being prepared by the European Commission for
> submission to the INSPIRE Committee.
> 
> The guidelines and the related supporting materials are now publicly
> available on the INSPIRE site.

> *Call for Expression of Interest: INSPIRE Development*
> 
> A call for expressions of interest has been launched to draw up a list
> of candidates (individual persons, public or private organisations,
> consortia or groupings of service providers) to assist the Commission in
> the context of the INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC and related implementing
> rules and technical guidelines.
> 
> Service providers may be required to support the INSPIRE data
> specifications development process by editing the unified modelling
> language (UML) models and data specifications of the Annex I, II and III
> data themes, conduct data user requirements and use case studies,
> compile, and develop and document technical guidance and examples of use
> for Inspire data specifications. They may also be required to support
> the specification development and implementation of network services and
> the Inspire geo-portal by conducting studies on architecture, spatial
> data services, services invocation, services interoperability, services
> harmonisation, and registries, and by developing related support
> software (web-based or not). The contracting authority will invite all
> the candidates on the list or some of them, selected on the basis of
> objective and nondiscriminatory criteria, to submit a tender for
> specific contracts.
