Description

Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an In*frastructure for *Sp*atial *I*nfo*r*mation in the *E*uropean Community (*INSPIRE) was published in the official Journal on the 25th April 2007. The INSPIRE Directive entered into force on the 15th May 2007.

QGIS Should be able to handle data and metadata according to INSPIRE specifications. This means among others, to prepare set of plugins (let's call it e.g. INSPIRE4QGIS). With this plugins it would be possible to

  • Search the data sources in catalogues (keyword CSW, something like http://www.inspire-geoportal.eu/catalogue/Start.do)
  • Display the Metadata from this catalogues
  • Download and display the data in QGIS (keywords: WMS, WFS, WCS)
  • Transform the data (keyword: WPS)
  • Possibly add INSPIRE Metadata Editor in the future.

Without being able to follow the INSPIRE rules, QGIS would not became the GIS solution for State organisations in EU.

  • Category changed from Python plugins to QGIS Server

QGIS is commonly used in Europe and the INSPIRE directive is a very important ruleset to provide geodata as a service. For QGIS it might be a great benefit to improve its server functionality to provide INPSIRE compliant WMS (and WFS) Services. May be this could be implemented as an option. Right now QGIS Mapserver WMS fails some tests and therefore is not fully INSPIRE compliant (and I guess also not fully OGC compliant e.g. using text/xml as default exception format). Services can be tested using test suites as provided by http://testsuite.gdi-de.org/gdi/

priority for qgis mapserver should be normal. (may be INSPIRE-client fetaures could be priority low)
