Experience in the creation and updating of INSPIRE compliant metadata catalogue

Pasca, Monica et al.

One of the first steps for the set up of a spatial data infrastructure is the creation of metadata standards and corresponding metadata catalogue. In Italy, the Committee for technical rules for public administration spatial dataa, established according to the national law on Digital Administration Codee and including the participation of many public administrations involved in spatial data production, has worked on the development of rules for defining the National Metadata Catalogue, as well as the technical rules for the creation and updating of this catalogue of spatial datasets and services of general interest, created, maintained and updated by the Public Administrations. The present paper presents the work done within the project D.I.V.A. of the Italian Ministry of Environment and Protection of Land and Sea in order to achieve a full compliance of the Italian Metadata Catalogue with the INSPIRE Implementing Rules and its application for environmental purposes. Several comparisons have been performed at different levels in order to check the level of conformity, including, INSPIRE Implementing Rules and Guidance, National proposal, ISO standards and common practise metadata information.
