IACS validator - Which GEMET concept URI to use?

[fxprunayre]

In the test related to IACS Dataset keyword > keyword GEMET value
cf. https://github.com/inspire-eu-validation/ets-repository/blob/v2024.2/metadata/2.0/datasets-and-series/ets-md-iacs-bsxets.xml#L247

A record with an Anchor like the following:

<gmx:Anchor xlink:href="http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept/1600">politique agricole commune</gmx:Anchor>

is invalid.

A record with

<gco:CharacterString>Common Agricultural Policy</gco:CharacterString>

or

<gmx:Anchor xlink:href="http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/en/concept/1600">politique agricole commune</gmx:Anchor>

is valid.

"Common Agricultural Policy" correspond to https://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/en/concept/1600 where the "Concept URL: http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept/1600"

Should the concept URL be as defined in GEMET website or a specific URL containing the language code en?

Looking forward your advice

Dear @fxprunayre,

thanks for opening the issue.

Following the rule we are using for the INSPIRE codelists, the correct value should indeed be the "Concept URL" that should act as an identifier.

We will conduct an internal review of the issue and get back to you.

Dear @fxprunayre,

we analyzed the issue and decided to accept the "Concept URL" as valid.
We will retain the current URL (https://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/en/concept/1600) to ensure compatibility with the existing implementations.
