Questions & Answers

Where can I download the data?

  • Climatic data – data downloaded from Copernicus Climate Data Store, namely ERA 5-Land data.
  • Digital Elevation Model – source: SRTM, resp. derived ALOS Global Digital Surface Model called AW3D30.
  • Sensor data – example datasets of soil water potential, soil temperature, air temperature air humidity, from period 2016/01/26 – 2017/03/13.

Which tools can I use?

  • Euxdat e-infrastructure (test.euxdat.eu)
  • GIS packages such as QGIS, GRASS, gvSIG, ArcGIS …
  • Mathematical modeling software, such e.g. Software R, MathLab, …
  • Earth Observation data processing software, such as Goolge Earth Engine, OrfeoToolbox, …

TEAM 7: Light Weighted INSPIRE Harmonization Using Metadata in GeoNetwork

Posted on by

TEAM LEADER: Paul van Genuchten

TEAM MEMBERS: Antonio Cerciello, … I’m looking for organisations that have non-harmonised datasets that are eligible for INSPIRE and are willing to go through a process of harmonisation using this light weighted approach.

PROJECT IDEA: These days many data providers implement INSPIRE data harmonization at the end of the data pipeline. The harmonized data is not used by the organisation itself. This approach has a big risk. In the harmonization process data may get lost or be placed out of context. In this experiment I want to experiment with a light weight harmonization approach based on linked data principles.

The idea is to extend the iso19110 feature catalog metadata of INSPIRE source datasets with references to relevant INSPIRE ontologies (https://github.com/inspire-eu-rdf/inspire-rdf-vocabularies) in such a way that any client software would be able to take the source dataset (as-is) combined with the extended iso19110 metadata to create basic INSPIRE GML.

This work builds on this project https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/wiki/Use-iso19110-in-GetFeatureinfo-response-visualisation
