Creating INSPIRE metadata¶

Responding to the INSPIRE directive is a major challenge for players in the geographic information sector. In addition to the national and European expertise that Isogeo brings to projects with its customers, the tool makes it quick and easy to meet the directive's requirements.

See the table of correspondence between Isogeo fields and the INSPIRE directive:

INSPIRE - Isogeo correspondence

Tip

The ISO category is automatically deduced from the INSPIRE theme by Isogeo.

Validator¶

The INSPIRE validator, adopted by the European community, is directly integrated into the Isogeo solution.

As soon as data is classified in an Inspire theme (see dedicated chapter), the validator is launched and checks the conformity of your metadata record:

if valid, the message "This file is Inspire compliant" is displayed in green in the Identification tab;
if any information is missing, it is listed in yellow.

The validator indicates that the metadata is not compliant	The validator indicates that the metadata is compliant

Tip

The validator is only activated for metadata in vector or raster datasets

Fields required by the integrated INSPIRE validator¶

In order for the validator to indicate that the file complies with the directive, the following fields must be completed:

Title
Summary
Geographical reach
Collection context
Resolution or scale
Contact
Encoding
Format and version
Data creation date
