Introduction
INSPIRE stands for Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community and is the first European Directive that is dedicated to the intolerability for geospatial information and the implementing of an European Spatial Data Infrastructure.
The following sections tell briefly about the history, the content and the current implementation status of the directive. The official INSPIRE web site (http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu) is an excellent source to find further details on INSPIRE.
Topics
- Background and history
- The five components of the Directive
- Implementation, status and schedule
- Groups and responsibilities within INSPIRE
- European initiatives and projects in the context of INSPIRE
- INSPIRE and global initiatives like GEOSS and GMES
