Each data specification conforms to EN ISO 19131 and consists of the following chapters:
- Scope
- Overview
- Specification scopes
- Data product identification
- Data content and structure
- Reference systems
- Data quality
- Metadata
- Delivery
- Data Capture
- Portrayal
- Additional information
The main part of each data specification is chapter 5 "Data content and structure", which includes the specification of the INSPIRE application schemas. Currently, application schemas are specified for the following Annex I themes:
- Addresses
- Administrative Units
- Cadastral Parcels
- Geographic Names
- Hydrography
- Base
- Network
- Physical Waters
- Reporting
- Protected Sites
- Simple
- Natura2000
- Full
- Transport Networks
- Common Elements
- Air Transport
- Cable Transport
- Rail Transport
- Road Transport
- Water Transport
In addition, preliminary application schemas are specified for many of the Annex II and Annex III themes.
In the INSPIRE Generic Conceptual Model, three theme-independent application schemas are currently specified:
- Base types: This application schema contains types not defined in the ISO schemas, but which are required in INSPIRE, for example a data type for object identifiers.
- Generic Network Model: A generic application schema for networks. The types defined in this application schema provide basic capabilities that are supposed to be extended in application schemas of the spatial data themes, currently transport networks and hydrography.
- Gazetteers: A realisation of the conceptual model in EN ISO 19112, which also corrects errors in EN ISO 19112 and adds support for multi-lingual aspects.
