Quo vadis – INSPIRE? An entirely new approach to environmental data management – sustainable, scalable expandable and interoperable – described on a practical project in Saarland including the data provision for INSPIRE

Abstract

Environmental data are usually subject-specific structured and incompatible for multidisciplinary applications. INSPIRE itself has thematically tailored data models. We miss a Theme Crossed approach for environmental data management. This presentation shows how a harmonized data management can be constructed and how the environmental data can be made available according to the INSPIRE definitions of Annex III.
