5. INSPIRE Data Specifications consultation and testing 22/6 - 21/10/2011
Two separate, but closely related activities:
consultation:
Comment the data specification documents (V.2.0)
Domain-specific aspects and Cross-thematic aspects (overlaps and gaps, inconsistencies)
testing:
To test data specifications (V2.0) against real spatial data
To report back to the INSPIRE CT and TWGs gained experience
will be used to improve the data specifications for v3.0
the basis for amendment of the Regulation on Interoperability of spatial data sets
