Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation Workshop on the INSPIRE registry and registers Antonio Rotundo – Agenzia per l’Italia Digitale (AgID)

Registry developments and plans Involved organisations / governance Agenzia per l’Italia Digitale (AgID)  is responsible for the implementation of the Italian Digital Agenda;  performs many activities for increasing interoperability of the information systems of Public sector;  in the INSPIRE context, is a LMO responsible for the National Catalogue for Spatial Data (RNDT) and its discovery service. In those activities every PSI organisation is involved. Scope  INSPIRE, NSDI and other sectors such as e-government. Content  In the RNDT application a set of “registers” (misusing the term) are already managed: –codelists –coordinate reference systems –themes and keywords  In the e-government sector: –Public Administrations Registry (available in SPCData web portal)  platform for smart communities in which a set of registers could be identified as relevant for that scope.

Technical overview Technologies / software used RNDT Self-developed solution based on web services implemented using Java technology – web server Apache HTTPD and Apache Tomcat – Application server Jboss - DB PostgreSQL - Hibernate SPCData Openlink Virtuoso – D2RQ - Apache Tomcat Software Licence GPL / Apache license / PostgreSQL license Access & re-use conditions ? Open access; controlled access for inserting, updating or deleting records Open access Standards used ISO 19115/19119/TS19139 – OGC CSW SKOS/RDF – OWL – SPARQL – DCAT - Core Vocabularies – ORG – FOAF – DC Formats and APIs supported HTML – XML CSW RDF/XML – JSON – CSV – Ntriples SPARQL endpoint

Connecting registries Existing connections to other registries  At the moment, there is no connection between the mentioned “registries”, but such activity is planned along this year  connections using URI in SPCData Requirements for connections to the INSPIRE registry?  the design of mentioned registries following ISO Standards is an issue that will be addressed;  the exchange formats could be XML and RDF/XML (but other ones can be considered)

Future development of INSPIRE registry How are you using / planning to use the INSPIRE registry (software or service)?  INSPIRE registry isn’t used yet, but it could become the reference registry for the applications Which additional features would you like to see?  additional formats such as RDF/XML;  access through SPARQL; Which additional content would you like to see?  connections to coordinate reference system registry (e.g. EPSG)  codelists used in INSPIRE metadata (also those required for interoperability)
