> Subject: Consultation and Testing of INSPIRE Data Specifications for Themes of
> Annex II & III
>  
> Dear Colleagues,
> 
> The INSPIRE Thematic Working Groups (TWGs), Data Specifications Drafting Team
> and INSPIRE JRC Data Specifications Team have finalised the draft Data
> Specifications of the Spatial Data Themes referred to in Annex II and III of
> the INSPIRE Directive. Their work is now available for public view and
> consultation by the INSPIRE Stakeholder Community as draft Guidelines .
> 
> Based on all the comments received, the INSPIRE TWGs will issue a new version
> of the Data Specification ­ Draft Guidelines, while the European Commission
> will prepare the amendment proposal for the Implementing Rules on
> interoperability of spatial data sets and services, which will be submitted
> for opinion to the INSPIRE Regulatory Committee in 2012.
> 
> SDICs and LMOs are invited to comment on the following documents and files:
> 
> ? Data Specification on INSPIRE Annexes II and III ­ Draft Guidelines
> The 24 Data Specification ­ Draft Guidelines documents describe the draft
> INSPIRE data specifications on the INSPIRE Annex II+III Themes as developed by
> the TWGs. Each of these documents includes two executive summaries. The first
> summary provides a quick overview of the INSPIRE data specification process in
> general, and the second summary describes the content of the data
> specification on a specific Theme in particular. Thus, each Data Specification
> ­ Draft Guidelines document is self-explanatory. In addition, a ZIP archive
> will be provided for consultation that contains the GML application schemas
> for all Annex II+III themes.
> 
> ? Proposed updates to the Generic Conceptual Model and Encoding Guidelines
> During the Annex II+III development, a number of updates have been proposed to
> the Generic Conceptual Model (D2.5) and Encoding Guidelines (D2.7) reflecting
> emerging requirements of some of the themes. The proposed changes are
> summarised in a separate document.
> 
> ? D2.9 Guidelines for the use of Observations & Measurements and Sensor Web
> Enablement-related standards in INSPIRE Annex II and III data specification
> development
> This new data specification development framework document has been developed
> reflecting emerging requirements of some of the themes on the use of
> Observations & Measurements and Sensor Web Enablement-related standards. Like
> it happened with the others framework documents, this one is now submitted to
> consultation.
> 
> In addition, for reference, the UML data models will be provided in different
> formats and views at
> http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/2/list/datamodels.
> 
> To submit comments, the following file shall be used:
> ·      Commenting Spread Sheet: 1 Excel spreadsheet[1] <#_ftn1>
>  
>  
> The consultation on these drafts is open to all registered SDICs and LMOs.
> Comments should be submitted by their Contact Person through the established
> way via the INSPIRE web site
> http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/7/list/3
> (Note: You must first login the INSPIRE site in order to access this page).
> * Only comments submitted via the INSPIRE website and using the Commenting
> Spreadsheet will be processed. Please, do not send your comments in any other
> format.
> * The last uploaded comments within the established deadline will be accepted
> as the final version of the comments from the SDIC or LMO. Please, ensure that
> all your comments are included. Note that only one spreadsheet file can be
> uploaded per SDIC/LMO.
> * Comments agreeing with what is proposed in the data specifications for a
> specific theme are as relevant as the ones proposing changes. It gives
> valuable information regarding the level of detail and proposed solutions.
> * It may happen that the answer to a specific question you have on why an
> issue is not treated in a theme is found reading the data specification or the
> executive summary of other related themes. Many themes are linked and a
> correct scoping for each theme is important.
> * Please consider the natural inter-relations between themes. It may be useful
> to also review data specifications for themes that are not directly inside
> your thematic domain, but are related, e.g. because you use data from or
> produce data for that domain.
> The consultation period closes on 21 October 2011, 18:00 CEST.
> If your organisation is registered as SDIC or LMO and has membership in one or
> more SDICs at the same time, please decide which channel you will use to
> forward your comments. Multiple submissions do not increase the "weight" of
> the comment, however they create unnecessary burden for the SDIC/LMO contact
> person and then the TWGs during the processing of the comments. Also, if the
> same comment applies to more than one INSPIRE theme, please submit the comment
> only once, including the affected themes in the relevant cell in the
> spreadsheet. Regardless of the source, each individual comment will be
> carefully considered in the comment resolution process.
>  
> The INSPIRE Team uses this opportunity to thank all members of the TWGs and
> the Drafting Team for their tremendous efforts!
