3) Generate Data and Service Metadata

The document Technical Guidance for the implementation of INSPIRE dataset and service metadata based on ISO/TS 19139:2007 (V 2.0) describes the technical requirements of Regulations 1205/2008 and 1089/2010 in regard to metadata for spatial datasets, series, and services. Metadata can be created with GeoNetwork from version 3.8.2 or directly in XML from a metadata file.

To publish in the INSPIRE catalogue, it is important that all resource metadata is preloaded into the CODSI and both the metadata and web services pass the following validations:

• INSPIRE ETF Validator: https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/validator/
• Resource linkages checker: https://inspire-geoportal.ec.europa.eu/linkagechecker.html

* More information in the INSPIRE Validation section.

Examples:

1. Metadata file for a dataset or series
2. Metadata file for a web service

3.1 Metadata files in Latin America

Documenting metadata in Latin America based on a common standard is a prerequisite for moving forward in the construction of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) for the Americas. To this end, the LAMP v2 Profile is created, based on the ISO 19115-1:2014 standard. For more information, see the following link:
