The Re3gistry software and the INSPIRE Registry Michael Lutz, Daniele Francioli & Emanuela Epure Ispra, 22 January 2014

Key pillars of data interoperability Harmonised vocabularies Conceptual data models Harmonised vocabularies Encoding Registers spatial objects and their properties and relationships for 34 data themes cross-domain harmonization based on a common modelling framework managed in a common UML repository GML application schemas as standard encoding conceptual models independent of concrete encodings also possible to derive other encodings (e.g. based on RDF) to overcome interoperability issues caused by free-text and/or multi-lingual content allow more specific terms from local vocabularies in addition to the harmonized terms provide unique and persistent identifiers for resources allow their consistent management and versioning items can be made unique and referred to unambiguously
