1. TG Data - Inspire Usage Options
EEA, Copenhagen, 09/11/2017

2. INSPIRE Starting Point
We are only concerned with publishing datasets related to MSFD reporting criteria (?)
Not directly concerned with data capture and source data sets that may have been used (other than by lineage)
INSPIRE is about interoperability of data. It does not prescribe scientific validity of the data, or make data more accurate or precise
The methodology followed to create the data needs to be consistent to make interoperability meaningful.
