1 Keep it simple! a Nordic view on technical simplification issues 1

2 The network Formed in 2007 as a result of the INSPIRE directive Share experience and knowledge Develop common standpoints Exchange action plans Appoint working groups 2

3 Many areas of simplification CONTENT: A larger focus on the thematic content of a dataset rather than on the technical structure of the data, as a first step. METADATA: Metadata is a key issue. With joint overview we will more easily find comparable data from different providers. SERVICES: Promotion of also other ways for provision of data, such as through rest api s, may increase the usefulness of the data within more organisations. 3

16 Nordic viewpoints We acknowledge the complex data models as conceptual data models but propose that these should only be recommended encoding rules. i.e. flat data models are also valid for INSPIRE harmonisation. The content will be the same. We propose that voidable attributes are left out if they are not available. In the data models they should be considered desirable attributes. A modern software should be able to handle the merge of different attribute tables. We propose that the usage of complex data types, included from other application schemas (INSPIRE or ISO), are made simpler and that recommendations are made on alternative ways on how to fill the voidable elements of, for instance the data type GeographicalName. 16

17 A good example on simplification Prospecting areas for mining at the sea from the The Danish Agency for Water and Nature Management The data is identified as in scope of INSPIRE AM Fit for purpose 17

18 After transformation Assumptions made: attributes marked voidable are left out multiplicity changed from 1..* to exact 1 inheritances and data types are flattened 18
