Subject: [Geodata] A FOSS community response to the INSPIRE Implementing Rules for Metadata Draft Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2007 02:16:21 -0800 From: Jo Walsh < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now that we have an INSPIRE Directive, what are we going to do with it? INSPIRE mandates that data providers follow 'Implementing Rules'; the first of these, on metadata for geodata, is in public consulation. http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Reading_the_INSPIRE_Metadata_Draft OSGeo's Geodata Committee is putting together a reading guide and formal response to the Metadata Implementing Rules. The rest of this email explains the background to the process. Everyone who Cares A Lot About Metadata is encouraged to participate in the response, which will be written openly on the wiki. INSPIRE will oblige public authorities collecting and holding geodata to comply with a set of Implementing Rules which are still being defined. The implementing rules for metadata were published at the beginning of last month. The draft for public consulation is publically available, but comments and improvements can only be submitted through an SDIC or Spatial Data Interest Community. Thanks to Markus Neteler, the open source geospatial community has an FOSS SDIC available to it. Recently having had the chance to speak with Metadata Drafting Team participants and hear the process outlined by Alessandro Annoni of the Joint Research Council, I am more convinced now that this isn't simply "illusion of participation", but that the JRC really is in search of best practise and sanity checking of what has been produced. All the other Implementing Rules drafts will be built up from, and refer to back, this one. If you are in any way involved in the collection or publication of geodata through any publically funded institution in Europe then what results from these IRs will affect you, and this is our first and last chance to affect the process. If you want to help out, this is what to do: - Read the draft! If you don't have time to read the whole draft but want to know what is going to affect you, quick pointers are at http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Reading_the_INSPIRE_Metadata_Draft#Reading_the_draft - Sign your name up to the wiki page if you want to be included in the loop (this is the last cross-list spam about this you will see from me, and followups/discussion should go on the wiki, not via email) http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Response_to_INSPIRE_Metadata_Draft - By the 20th the useful parts of [Reading] will have moved over to a more formal version at [Response] and there will be a week during which one can edit that page. - Then we will de facto lock it down for final edits - On the 27th or so i hope to have a telecon and after that move the response into the form required by the feedback process for SDICs. Even 5 minutes spent structuring, editing or proofreading would be of great help; Many eyes make better metadata... cheers, jo _______________________________________________ Geodata mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geodata
