INSPIRE GeoDCAT-AP Pilot

This repository is intended to store, share and manage documentation and information relative to the ISO & GeoDCAT-AP metadata Implementation Pilot, carried out by the INSPIRE community.

Pilot description

The GeoDCAT-AP pilot is one of the activities aimed at modernising the implementation of European environmental geospatial data sharing under the GreenDataForAll initiative (revision of the INSPIRE Directive), aligning it to the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/138 on Open Data High-Value Datasets.

Its main purpose is facilitating the integration of INSPIRE metadata, and the corresponding reporting obligations, into a common Open Data flow, centralising the INSPIRE and High-Value Datasets reporting in the European Data Portal (DEU). In particular, the pilot is intended to test and evaluate the adequacy of the transformation of geospatial (ISO 19139-based) metadata into a DCAT-based metadata using the GeoDCAT-AP 3.0.0 specification and its related XSLT transformation.

The pilot is carried out as part of the activities of the INSPIRE Maintenance and Implementation Work Programme (MIWP) 2021-2024.
