Achieving INSPIRE compliance using open-source technologies
07-17, 16:30–17:00 (Europe/Sarajevo), EL11

Awareness on benefits of spatial data sharing and achieving their interoperability has been developing for many years. Although the INSPIRE Directive, adopted back in 2007, set legislative guidelines for implementation in EU member states, few could have predicted at the time in which direction technological support for specific SDI implementations would develop. In line with the ideas promoted by INSPIRE, the community gathered around open-source technologies quickly began to respond to legislative requirements by implementing various solutions in this domain.

The Talk will demonstrate the possibilities of integrating and utilizing many open-source projects throughout the entire spatial data lifecycle: storing the spatial data in PostGIS database, maintaining it using OpenLayers web GIS client, harmonizing data models through the transformation and harmonization processes, and serving metadata and INSPIRE-compliant datasets and services using GeoNetwork and GeoServer. Given the complexity of the entire process, an integrated solution ENGEON that simplifies the process and is based entirely on open-source technologies will be presented.


Indicate what is (are) the open source project(s) essential in your talk

GeoServer, GeoNetwork, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, OpenLayers, Cesium.

Assign a number between 1 and 3 indicating the level of technical complexity of your contribution.

2 - background knowledge helpful

Give indication of resources (video, web pages, papers, etc.) to read in advance, that will help get up to speed on advanced topics.
