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

2. 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
