    Network Services Workshop I
    The objective of the workshop is to provide technical details about INSPIRE Architecture and the draft Discovery and View services Implementing Rules. This workshop takes place after the review process where choices and decisions have been discussed, so the aim is now to explain and clarify these decisions. During the workshop, Network ServicesDrafting Team members will present the three components with time for discussion. The INSPIRE Architecture presentation will explain the choices about SOAP, GeoRM, Multilingualism, the challenges about performance. The sessions about Discovery and View services IR will detail the selected standards for these services, explain the rules applied to some main parameters and the link between metadata and discovery service.

    HUMBOLDT Workshop on Data Harmonisation
    09:00 - 10:30 Data harmonisation, being one of the key aspects of INSPIRE, is also a core topic of the HUMBOLDT project, which aims at developing processes and tools for data harmonisation. HUMBOLDT partners have considerable experience in spatial data modelling, data and metadata management and have already participated in European data harmonisation projects . As one of the first steps of the HUMBOLDT project, a comprehensive analysis of the state of the art in data harmonisation and data management was undertaken. Key questions to be discussed during the workshop include:
    • What are the main data harmonisation requirements of INSPIRE?
    • Which are the main data harmonisation issues that were identified in previous cross-border SDI projects?
    • Which approaches were taken to tackle these issues (e.g. data harmonisation processes, creation of common data models, methods and languages for the specification of mapping rules, tools for mapping source models to target models?)
    • Can best practices be identified in the above mentioned areas?
     Introduction to the workshop and the HUMBOLDT project Eva Klien
     Data harmonisation processes in HUMBOLDT Christine Giger
     RISE Results & Lessons Learnt Wyn Cudlip, Dominique Laurent
