The document discusses achieving interoperability of spatial data sets and services at the data model and structure level. It outlines the requirements and recommendations from INSPIRE directives for implementing interoperable spatial data sets and services. It also describes local data models, INSPIRE target data models, and the process of mapping local models to target models, which includes transformation and validation testing. The overall purpose is to achieve interoperability of spatial data by focusing on spatial and business content.

2. Content
• Purpose
• Requirements & recomendations
• Level of interoperability
• Local data models
• INSPIRE target data models
• Mapping from local to target models
• Transformation
• Validation and testing

3. Purpose
• To achieve interoperability of spatial data
sets and services
„Focus on spatial and business content“

4. Requirements Recomendations
Analysis of requirements
• INSPIRE Directive (2007/2/EC)
• Implementing rules (Commission Regulation
(EU) No 1089/2010 as regards interoperability of
spatial data sets and services )
• Technical Guidelines Annex I, Drafts II,III
• Framework Documents
• Other Documents

5. Level of interoperability
• Interoperability components

6. Level of interoperability
Finding the appropriate level of interoperability

7. Local data models
• Heterogenic data structures (if any...)
• Various spatial representations
• Absence of UML / object oriented notation
• Encoding
• Spatio-Temporal aspects
• Portrayal

8. INSPIRE target data models

9. INSPIRE target data models I
• Data Specification structure
– Scope
– Overview
– Data content and structure
– Reference systems, units of measurements and grids
– Data quality
– Data-set level metadata
– Delivery
– Data capture
– Potrayal
– Annex A: Abstract test suite
– Annex B: Use cases

10. INSPIRE target data models
• UML Data model

11. Mapping from local to target models
• Protected sites example from SK
Source Data
Harmonised Data
Mapped
Validated
Application Schema
Transformed

12. Mapping from local to target models
• Land use example from HALE

13. Transformation
• Land use example from HALE

14. Testing
• Land use example from HALE
