Validation and Conformity testing - Status and planning (Carlo Cipolloni)

Minutes of MIWP-5 workshop Terms of reference for MIWP-5 sub-group Procedures for validation and conformity testing Procedures for change control of ATSs, ETSs, software, documentation etc. (as input to a larger MIG activity on procedures for change control of INSPIRE artefacts) Study: Overview of issues and possible benefits, existing technical solutions, possible options and policy implications Detailed proposal (if D1.3.1 is approved by EC & MS) Additional CITE tests for INSPIRE profile Task 1 Use case descriptions cross-cutting use cases for validation specific use cases for metadata, data and service validation Specification of (functional and non-functional) requirements cross-cutting requirements for validation specific requirements for metadata, data and service validation Collect information on existing validation tools/platforms and approaches, including languages/approaches for documenting tests Evaluate existing tools/platforms and approaches on how they meet the requirements defined. Task 2

Develop testsuite for INSPIRE metadata: a) Analyse requirements in the MD TGs and develop ATS, b) Compare existing implementations of MD IR requirements; c) Develop ETS based requirements. Develop testsuite for INSPIRE discovery service: a) Analyse requirements in the Discovery service TGs and develop ATS; b) Compare existing implementations of Discovery service IR requirements; c) Develop ETS based on requirements. Develop testsuite for INSPIRE view service: a) Analyse requirements in the View service TGs and develop ATS; b) Compare existing implementations of View service IR requirements; c) Develop ETS based on requirements. Develop testsuite for INSPIRE download service: a) Analyse requirements in the Download service TGs and develop ATS; b) Compare existing implementations of Download service IR requirements; c) Develop ETS based on requirements. Investigate feasibility of testing INSPIRE data sets Identify feasible data set as pilots and explore ATS from TG and Develop ETS based on requirements. Task 3

 The ToR of MIWP5 has been presented during last MIG-T meeting.  The work plan is also published and available in wiki ( svn.jrc.ec.europa.eu/issues/2127#change-5100). svn.jrc.ec.europa.eu/issues/2127#change-5100  A draft Change Management document has published and provides by Peter Parslow (  We have planed to have a expert workshop in Nov./Dec., where selected expert people that have in place some validation system best practice discuss the requirements.  The tenders for experts and expert coordinator have been published last week. (  A subgroup start to work on Data Model Harmonization concerning Protected Sites using a validation service based on OGC Team Engine  A compliance meter is developed by JRC (Angelo Quaglia) Status and progress
