Hi, with regard to this discussion, I added a BoF for OSGeo SDI/INSPIRE to FOSS4G [1]. Place and time are not fixed yet. Feel free to add yourself to the list of participants.

Hi Jachym, I am planning to visit FOSS4G this year (have to - my last one was Lausanne!) - if we can have some sort of structure until then and try to start with a inital event would be great.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] time for inspire committee at osgeo?
OK, Let's call it "OSGeo SDI committee" To board: There was proposal to start new committee at OSGeo, which would be focused (as Jeff and Serena pointed out) at SDI in general. Now, INSPIRE is big issue to most OSGeo projects and this committee would take care on it, but it should be focused, as mentioned, more general. I'll start some wiki page about it and add new item to our agenda for the next meeting.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] time for inspire committee at osgeo?
Hi Jachym, This is a great idea, and I agree is missing as a direct goal by the existing OSGeo committees. As Serena mentioned, it should be focused on SDIs in general. Would you be willing to start a wiki draft of this SDI committee? (containing goals, responsibilities, communication methods, structure [chair, members],...) You can then take that to the Board for their thoughts. Thanks for championing this for OSGeo. (I agree, INSPIRE may be EU focused but it affects all of our projects, and there could be other global directives that this committee could help guide OSGeo through). -jeff On 2013-05-15 8:17 AM, Jachym Cepicky wrote: > Hi, > > I'm working on some presentation about OSGeo relationship to > INSPIRE directive (some preliminary czech version of presentation, > which should be presented at this years INSPIRE conference [1]) > > And it came to my mind, that OSGeo does not have any body, related > to INSPIRE [2] > > While I agree, INSPIRE is mainly EU-only topic, I think, > implementing INSPIRE has big market potential and software, which > does not indicate support for INSPIRE is banned from to be used in > public organizations in EU.

I support the idea of widening the group to SDIs in general which would be more inclusive (even if it is initiated and dominated by INSPIRE) - the use and application of open source for SDIs in developing countries is very relevant.

Therefore I would consider INSPIRE committee in OSGeo as important body, which would coordinate efforts of OSGeo projects towards INSPIRE, so that we could declare: OSGeo projects are INSPIRE ready or we are working on it. Any opinions to this? I'm personally usually against forming "yet another committee", but in this case, I do not see the topic to be covered and it really is important issue here.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] time for inspire committee at osgeo?
Hi Jachym, A dedicated unit within OSGeo targeting INSPIRE and more broadly SDI would is IMO a great idea Jachym. I recall, I proposed OSGeo to play a role of SDIC (http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/181 ) already good 4 years ago. :) From the user point of view, making the OSGeo desktop software INSPIRE-compliant would be a great asset - especially extending data interoperability to be able to export datasets to INSPIRE data models and automatically creates corresponding metadata. INSPIRE network services, well, at least those I know: discovery, view, download; are close to OGC WCS, WMS and WFS - services already implemented in OSGeo software projects. Cheers: RAf DR.
