The Generic Conceptual Model is the main document of the INSPIRE Modelling Framework. It provides a framework within which data specifications for the spatial data themes are developed. Within scope of the document are requirements and recommendations in particular regarding the following aspects:

  • INSPIRE application schemas
  • spatial and temporal representations of spatial objects across different levels of detail
  • spatial and temporal relationships between spatial objects
  • unique object identifiers
  • constraints
  • reference to common spatial and temporal reference systems
  • controlled vocabularies
  • support for multilingual aspect

The specification of theme-specific spatial object types or properties is out of scope of the document. However, the specification of cross-theme concepts are within scope. This includes application schemas for INSPIRE identifiers, a Generic Network Model and Gazetteers.

The document itself is structured according to the so-called data interoperability components. The different components cover the aspects that need to be addressed in the process of enabling data interoperability. The components are shown in the following figure:

Many of the topics discussed in 6.4 Interoperabilty of spatial data sets / INSPIRE data specifications are discussed in Generic Conceptual Model.
