Workshop

The workshop aims to give a quick overview of represented OSGeo projects and where they stand in relation to the INSPIRE technical guidelines. The following round-table aims to bring OSGeo developers, implementers, users of the software and official representatives of INSPIRE into a dialog about how things can be improved and how to move forward.

Please enlist as a participant and commit to assisting in the preparation of slides and papers and make sure that you are at the conference.

Workshop proposal

The proposing team suggests to implement this workshop in a barcamp style within the conference. This will probably attract a more diverse group of people and allow for more dynamic communication which is one of the most important aspects required to really get INSPIRE implemented. The aim is to get developers and project leads from OSGeo and professionals involved with INSPIRE around one table and shed light on each other's world.

From the conference website:

Pre-conference workshops will take place on the 23/24 June. Each workshop or tutorial may be proposed for a single 90-minute session. A typical conference participant may register for up to four 90-minute workshops or tutorials during the workshop day. All workshops and tutorials will be open to all conference participants at no additional cost, however a daily fee will be charged for those attending workshops only.

Ping-Pong match: OSGeo & INSPIRE

Proposal - shortened to 300 words

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) is a non-profit international organization created in early 2006 to support and promote the collaborative development of geospatial open source software (GFOSS). The foundation provides financial, organizational and legal support to the GFOSS community. It serves as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding etc, secure in the knowledge that their contributions will be maintained for public benefit, as well as an outreach and advocacy organization for the GFOSS community providing a common forum and shared infrastructure for improving cross-project collaboration. The foundation's projects are all freely available and usable under an OSI-certified open source license. Short presentations will be given in the first part (60min) of the workshop, in which lead developers will relate their projects to INSPIRE, pointing out the relevant capabilities as well as the issues deriving from the current version of the directive. The second part (30 minutes) will be dedicated to a round table between the developers and the members of the INSPIRE Technical Committee. Expected number of speakers is 15-20. Main audience is composed of geospatial open source developers, users, and Members of the JRC INSPIRE Technical Committee. The following topics will guide through the dialogue:

  1. complexity of INSPIRE technical guidance and OGC standards
  2. links between INSPIRE specs and national standards
  3. communication channels between OSGeo and INSPIRE
  4. setting up wiki pages (multilingual) to make INSPIRE documentation more readable
  5. how to test and validate INSPIRE compliance
  6. how to change/simplify INSPIRE technical guidance in practice
  7. how to contribute to INSPIRE maintenance
  8. automation of INSPIRE adoption through support in the various software packages
  9. how an implicit support for INSPIRE in any software will give a boost to the adoption of the directive even outside EU
