Inquiry about Conformance Class 8: 'INSPIRE data sets and data set series linked service metadata'

[AljosaCekic]

Hello,

here is Aljosa Cekic from the State Office for Geoinformation and Land Development Baden-Württemberg (LGL), the Competence Center for Geodata Infrastructure.

I would have a question regarding the calculation of INSPIRE-Indicators. Could you answer me whether the check of Conformance Class 8: 'INSPIRE data sets and data set series linked service metadata' for the metadata of data sets and data set series is obligatory for the INSPIRE-Indicators calculation?

I am looking forward for your answer.

Kind regards,
Aljosa Cekic

Dear @AljosaCekic,
for the calculation of the INSPIRE Monitoring indicator on the conformity of dataset metadata (indicator MDi1.1), Conformace Class 8 is not used. This is because Conformance Class 8 implements the good practice on data-service linking simplification, which - although being a recommended and more efficient approach than the traditional one - is only an alternative way to encode dataset metadata.
Best regards.
