Geographic information - Standards, specifications, technical reports and guidelines, required to implement Spatial Data Infrastructure

This Technical Report identifies the standards, technical specifications, technical reports and guidelines, required to implement a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) in Europe. It gives recommendations as to whether any of these items should become EN, and proposes a roadmap for future work items. It further provides recommendations for measures to be taken in order to support implementation and maintenance of a SDI. In so doing, the report addresses a range of topics, including:
-   multi-lingual aspects,
-   consistent identification of geographical items,
-   conformance testing,
-   geographic information metadata including catalogue service profile and guidelines, and
WMS and WFS profiles and guidelines.

Geoinformation - Normen, Spezifikationen, technische Berichte und Leitfäden zur Einführung von Geodateninfrastrukturen

Dieser Fachbericht benennt Normen und Standards, technische Spezifikationen, technische Berichte und Leitlinien, die zur Implementierung einer Geodateninfrastruktur (GDI) in Europa erforderlich sind. Er gibt Empfehlungen dazu, ob diese Dokumente Europäische Normen werden sollten und schlägt einen Fahrplan für künftige Normungsprojekte vor. Weiterhin werden Maßnahmen empfohlen, die zur Unterstützung der Implementierung und Pflege einer GDI zu treffen sind. Auf diese Weise spricht der Bericht eine Reihe von Themen an, darunter:
-   Mehrsprachigkeit;
-   einheitliche Identifizierung von Geoeinheiten;
-   Konformitätsprüfung;
-   Metadaten für geographische Informationen, einschließlich eines Profils für den Katalogdienst und Leitlinien für dessen Umsetzung;
-   WMS  und WFS-Profile und Leitlinien für deren Umsetzung.
