INSPIRE Registry

The INSPIRE infrastructure comprises a number of elements that require clear descriptions and the ability to be referenced through unique identifiers. Registers provide a means to assign identifiers to items and to their labels, definitions, and descriptions (in different languages). The INSPIRE registry provides a central access point to a number of INSPIRE registers whose content is based on the INSPIRE Directive, Implementing Rules, and Technical Guidelines.

Several of the most commonly used registers are listed below:

• INSPIRE themes: Spatial data themes as defined in the Annexes of the Directive.

• Code list register: Code lists and their values, as defined in the implementing rules on interoperability of spatial data sets and services (Regulation (EU) No. 1089/2010).
• Application Schemas: Application schemas of the INSPIRE consolidated UML data model.
  • UML Models: available in an interactive HTML view that includes detailed definitions of spatial object types, data types, enumerations, and code lists.
  • XML Schemas: generated from UML models, which are used to encode spatial objects in GML.
• Metadata code list
  • Priority data set: List of data sets related to environmental reporting and which should be made available by Member States in a stepwise manner.
  • Classification of spatial data services
