DESCRIPTION:In force since 2007\, the INSPIRE Directive has established a E
 uropean Spatial Data Infrastructure to support European Union (EU) policie
 s relevant to the environment. The INSPIRE Geoportal (https://inspire-geop
 ortal.ec.europa.eu) constitutes its main component\, being the central poi
 nt of access to all datasets published by EU Member States falling under t
 he scope of the Directive. Using the INSPIRE Geoportal\, users can search 
 for\, access\, visualize and download datasets published by more than 7000
  data providers from across Europe.\nIn line with the open source strategy
  of the European Commission and the ambition towards a sustainable evoluti
 on of the INSPIRE infrastructure based on open source components\, since 2
 021 the INSPIRE Geoportal is has been revamped by using cutting-edge\, ope
 n source applications and open standards\, while redesigning the way in wh
 ich information and services are offered to users. \nThe process comprises
  deep changes in the Geoportal backend\, totally renovating the underlying
  catalogue application: management interface\, powerful harvesting engine\
 , set of metadata\, data and service linking tests\, search engine\, autom
 atic metadata translation capabilities\, containerization and deployment i
 n a cloud environment. In addition\, a new frontend (user interface) is in
 tegrated with the mentioned backend using APIs\, making both layers more i
 ndependent in terms of technological stack and update cycles.  \nThe appli
 cation selected for achieving these goals is GeoNetwork opensource\, curre
 ntly constituting the catalogue choice of around 80% of Member States nati
 onal geospatial data portals in the EU. Since its inception in 2001\, it h
 as been developed with a strong focus on international standards and many 
 new features have been added over the years.\nDuring the last year\, the G
 eoCat staff and the INSPIRE team at the European Commission’s Joint Rese
 arch Centre have closely collaborated in the development of a new powerful
  and versatile system for delivering the revamped INSPIRE Geoportal\, cont
 ributing the improvements – to the maximum possible extent – to the co
 re of GeoNetwork to maximize their exploitation by the geospatial communit
 y. \nMore in detail\, the system encompasses a high-performance harvesting
  system based on a microservices\, including link validation and reporting
  functionality. All these pieces have been developed as separate component
 s\, which can be scaled independently from other components within a GeoNe
 twork-based infrastructure. Performance and compliance to the INSPIRE Tech
 nical Guidelines formed part of the key requirements of the work. As a res
 ult\, GeoNetwork capabilities for supporting the INSPIRE Directive will be
  substantially improved and completed in the toolkit. This\, in turn\, wil
 l also improve the transparency and collaboration between the national aut
 horities and the European level.\nAt the end of this transitional phase fo
 r the INSPIRE Geoportal\, foreseen by mid-2022\, the project will deliver 
 tangible benefits. Firstly\, by providing EU Member States with an up-to-d
 ate and transparent toolkit for managing their geospatial metadata\, data 
 and services in compliance to the INSPIRE Directive monitoring and reporti
 ng obligations. Secondly\, by making a direct valuable contribution to the
  core of GeoNetwork and to the whole open source geospatial community.
