Geoportal – content improvement
JRC INSPIRE team INSPIRE MIG-P Meeting Brussels, 30/11-1/

2. Other issues: Geoportal content improvement: WHY?
with decent level of reliability it is currently not possible to search MS metadata records for e.g.:
national datasets that are related to various types of environmental reporting
all datasets that are “open” for any use (limitation, constraint free)
datasets that are related to a thematic domain e.g. ground water or land contamination
national or quality assured datasets
Other issues:
Unambiguity – (e.g. datasets are tag by 1 or several INSPIRE themes)
Broken linkages between MD record, dataset, view and download services
Not harmonised use of keywords

3. The Geoportal content improvement
issue already discussed during the MIG-T meeting (related to the identification and monitoring of priority datasets):
agreed the principle of not introducing additional MD records – using better and in a harmonised way current MD elements (keywords, lineage etc.) – keeping the possible additional workload to minimum.
agreed to utilise the MS National experience with filtering the content (short set of questions to the MS MD catalogue administrators)

4. Ways forward proposal:
Together with MS agree on additional keywords to “tag” relevant MS datasets.
The keywords should be “picked” from agreed thesaurus / code lists managed by the INSPIRE Registry.
Profiling the MD content e.g. 5 stars records – systematically improving the broken linkages (Mdxdatasetsxservices)
Continue analyzing the content using the data analytical / visualization tools.
