CEN/TC 287 is active in the field of geostandards across Europe and is in agreement with ISO/TC 211 and NEN: all three are formal normalisation institutions. Developments made by CEN/TC 287 are restricted to declaring ISO/TC 211 Standards valid for Europe.
INSPIRE has been added at an international level. It is not a formal normalisation institution, but is a European guideline. INSPIRE makes Profiles applicable to Standards (implementing rules and guidelines) and INSPIRE’s themes are also described in ISO and the OGC Standards. Because of INSPIRE’s importance, and the impact it has on the Netherlands, these guidelines should be mentioned in a European context.
Many organisations are affected by INSPIRE implementing rules and guidelines such as:
- source keepers of geo-information that is part of INSPIRE themes. These organisations have to publish their data according to INSPIRE. In the Netherlands there are about 500 of such organisations;
- software developers who implement INSPIRE in the work of their source keepers and who mark products and services that use INSPIRE infrastructure;
CEN/TC 287 and INSPIRE are described in 1.3 European Standardisation. In 1.6.1 Framework of Geostandards this has been worked out in more detail.
