Comments Proposed change Resolution

NL ed/ge alignment of the requirement numbers and the chapters;1.1 - 1.12 data, chapter 3.12.1 - 2.8 interoperability data, chapter 3.23.1 - 3.8 SDS chapter 4.14.1 and 4.2 network services chapter 4.25.1 - 5.5 invocable SDSchapter 4.36.1 - 6.5 interoperable SDS chapter 4.47.1 - 7.3 harmonised SDS chapter 4.5

Proposed Change

3.1.1 – 3.1.12 data, chapter 3.13.2.1 – 3.2.8 interoperability data, chapter 3.24.1.1 – 4.1.8 SDS chapter 4.14.2.1 and 4.2.2 network services chapter 4.24.3.1 – 4.3.5 invocable SDS chapter 4.34.4.1 – 4.4.5 interoperable SDS chapter 4.44.5.1 – 4.5.3 harmonised SDS chapter 4.5

Not accepted. The numbers refer to the conformance classes. If the document is renumbered, the requirement numbers would need to change.In addition to the numbering, the document now also uses mnemonic ids (that can be used to create URIs in the http://inspire.ec.europa.eu namespace) to identify requirements.

SE ge The reference from the sections to the tables in the Annex C is unclear

Add reference from the sections to the tables in the Annex C

Not accepted. Annex C is simply a summary of the mapping. The main text of the document is meant to be self-explanatory (without references to the mapping).

CZ ge The description of operation how the gradual transition to the new TG version is missing.

We recommend to describe the process during the 3 year transitional period. E.g. whether the JRC validator will validate according to both versions of TG (1.3 and 2.0).

Accepted. The section “Reading guidance and transition period” has been updated accordingly. The start date of the 3-year transitional period still needs to be set.

CZ ge Add information about JRC validator. Add information whether the JRC validator is binding, when the validation according to the TGv2.0 will operate.

Accepted. The section “Reading guidance and transition period” has been updated accordingly. The start date of the 3-year transitional period still needs to be set.

CZ ge Use of Anchor element is not symmetric thru the whole document

We recommend to use Anchor element (URI) in all examples and places where INSPIRE registry or other URI could be used (keywords)

Not accepted. The use of gmx:Anchor is already promoted in more places than in the current TGs. No specific element is proposed in the comment.

CZ ge The invoke services could contain large amount of various services/metadata records. It would be helpful if there will be some metadata element for sorting these records.

We would recommend to integrate the sorting of metadata according to their coverage (EU/national/local).

Not accepted.The comment and proposed change unclear. The proposed change seems to refer to a functionality of the discovery service, not a requirement for metadata.

ES ge At the end of April, “ISO/DTS 19115-3 Geographic information - Metadata - Part 3: XML schema implementation for fundamental concepts “ has been sent to ISO for its publication. According with the calendar the next month of June the document could be published. Then this guidelines must be review and adapted to this

Not accepted. The consideration of the new version of ISO 19115 has been out of scope for this update of the TG. The new standard is not binding, and it will probably not be widely implemented within the next few years.

documents

FR ge There are quite a lot of changes in this version but reasons for these changes are not documented.

Please document reason for changes and their added value.

Accepted in principle.The rationale for the changes made is already specified in the ToR of the MIWP-8 sub-group. A reference to the ToR and a short summary of the issues addressed in this version is given in the section “Foreward to this version”.

DK-1

All ge There is a little too many places in the document marked with yellow, indicating questions to be answered, items to be handled or text to be inserted. E.g. Revision history, chapter 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.5, 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.3, 3.2.4, 4.1.2.1 and 4.3.2.Beside there are several chapters which are empty i.e. no text only headline. E.g. 4.3.1, 4.3.3, 4.3.4, 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.4.4, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.5.3 and 4.5.4.With these remarks in mind we do not think that the document is ready for MIG-P for endorsement.

Insert the missing text, answer the questions and in general solve the issues marked in yellow.

Accepted with modifications.All yellow text has been removed. Since this is technical document, we don’t see a need to have an introductory sentence for each section.

DK-2

All ge A way to make the document easier to read and understand we suggest including UML-models in the document do demonstrate the relationship among the various elements and classes. The UML-diagram could be included in an annex.

Include UML diagram in the document, according to the comment.

Not accepted. Adding numerous UML diagrams from ISO 19115:2003 would be quite a big change to the document very late in the process, and this has never been discussed with the MIWP-8 sub-group.Also, strictly speaking, the reference standard for these TGs is now ISO 19139, not ISO 19115, so the diagrams might actually be confusing to readers rather than helpful.

DK-3

All ge At several places in the document there are references to important tables from other documents. It would make the understanding of the text easier for the reader if these tables where available somewhere in the document (e.g. in an annex).

Include the referenced tables in an annex. Accepted.Overview tables of the INSPIRE metadata elements are already included in Annex C: INSPIRE metadata element catalog (informative).

DK-4

All ge Why use different type of writing when it comes to requirement. In some chapters a capital letter is used and then a number whereas in other cases the capital letter is substituted with a number. E.g. TG Requirement A.8 (chapter 2.3.3) and TG Requirement 3.7 (chapter 4.1.3.1). The same goes for recommendation.

Harmonise the use of letters and numbers in the requirements and recommendations. As an alternative write the reasons for the different way of writing in chapter “Technical Guideline Requirements and Recommendations notation”.

Not accepted. In general, requirements are prefixed with the numbers of the conformance classes they belong to. Common requirements are not part of a specific conformance class. That’s why they are pre-fixed with C. This is now explained in the chapter “Technical Guideline Requirements and Recommendations notation”.

point

ge "Referring to the new INSPIRE code lists for the reason of the Limitations on public access as well as Conditions applying to access and use ("no conditions" or "unknown") is now mandatory using the gmx:Anchor element."

while we support the use of gmx:Anchor elements we'd like to point out that currently this can't be validated with schemas given in section 1.2

The issues was discussed at the MIWP-8 comment resolution workshop. The JRC has raised the issue with the OGC. If the OGC is unable or unwilling to host a version of the AP-ISO xml schema that fixes the known problems with the OGC/ISO xml schemas, the JRC can host these.

Not accepted.[ISO 19157] is listed under “Other References”. It is not listed under normative references because it is only referred as an inspiration for the ISO 19139 encoding of the INSPIRE metadata elements Topological consistency and Data quality. The ISO 19157:2013 standard should be used together with a newer version of ISO metadata standard for geographic information, [ISO 19115-1].

2.3.6 TG Req A.15 te Requirement A.15 introduces a gmx:Anchor link in otherConstraints pointing to a value of a code list. The element otherConstraints is free text and as a result of requirement A.15, its seems that metadata compliant with previous versions of the Technical Guidelines must be updated. The new gmx:Anchor element may not directly be supported when existing metadata is updated in the existing editors and it may be necessary for the metadata responsible people to edit the XML directly.

Please reconsider the content of this requirement. (Assuming that the comment refers to C.17)Not accepted. The new version indeed in not backwards-compatible. However, the proposed change is deemed to be an important improvement over the previous version.Some of these changes can be automated.Because of the non-backwards compatibility, the transition period is proposed to be 3 years.

The new gmx:Anchor element may not directly be supported when existing metadata is updated in the existing editors and it may be necessary for the metadata responsible people to edit the XML directly.

Please reconsider the content of this requirement. (Assuming that the comment refers to C.19)Not accepted. The new version indeed in not backwards-compatible. However, the proposed change is deemed to be an important improvement over the previous version.Some of these changes can be automated.Because of the non-backwards compatibility, the transition period is proposed to be 3 years.

The MD IRs require that the conformity element be used where there is a requirement in Article 5(2)(a) and Article 11(2)(d) of Directive 2007/2/EC relating to the conformity (i.e. only for data sets).

Since the required multiplicity is 1..* for both data sets/series and services, services also need to include at least one conformity statement, but it does not have to be related to Regulation 1089/2010.

This also makes sense, since NS do not need to comply with Regulation 1089/2010; thus, if a conformity statement was required, it would by default have to be "not evaluated".

ge Coupled resource shall be implemented by reference, but it is not included that the reference should be made with the operation “GetRecordByID” of the CSW service. Why is not mandatory to include this operation to access to metadata record?

If it is mandatory include this operation then include it

Not accepted. The reference does not need to be to a CSW GetRecordByID request.

AT 4.1.2.4 Example 3.4 ge,ed Better explanation for the example would be great.

The current example uses a GetRecordById CSW operation that is not part of the INSPIRE Discovery Service TG. The id used in this example clearly hints to a file_identifier-like id of an ISO MD record, since there is no namespace.

The last sentence in the description (“An optional uuidref attribute is used …”) seems not to be complete.

Use as example either a GetRecords Discovery Service operation with a filter on a unique resource identifier, with an URI as id or the proposed solution from chapter 3.1.2.1 with an URL as unique resource identifier that resolves to aMD_Metadata document with an anchor to the MD_DataIdentification object.

Accepted. The example now uses a GetRecords request.Note however, that any URI could be used (also a GetRecordById request).

AT 4.1.2.4 te The proposed introduction to reference the MD_DataIdentification object via XPointer is a solution to respect the ISO standard, but results in a big implementation effort, since every metadata dataset has to be updated to introduce the anchor id.

Only allow one MD_DataIdentificationobject per MD_Metadata document and demand a reference to the remote MD_Metadataobject instead of the nested MD_DataIdentification object and do not enforce the ISO compliance.

Give a practical example with more than one MD_DataIdentification object in a document to make the application of the XPointer id clearer.

Accepted with modifications.Different options and examples for implementing the reference to the MD_DataIdentification element are included.

CH 4.1.2.4 TG Requirement 3.6

te If there is a spatial data service (for example a OGC:WMS) using more than one data set, then there is a problem:When using the element srv:operatesOn for linking the metadata of the spatial data service and the metadata of the target data set, it’s not possible to specifiy which is the target layerName (for OGC:WMS) in the spatial data service.

In state of the element srv:operatesOn, the element srv:coupledResource should be used. In this case, the element gco:ScopedName could be used to describe the target layerName in the spatial data service

Not accepted. The link from the service to the layer names are not required by the MD Regulation.This link can be established through the service capabillties.

2. Metadata shall include information on the following:(a) the conformity of spatial data sets with the implementing rules provided for in Article 7(1);…

and in Article 11(2):

2. For the purposes of the services referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1, as a minimum the following combination of search criteria shall be implemented:(…)(d) degree of conformity with the implementing rules provided for in Article 7(1);

Thus, from the Directive, there is only an obligation to specify the conformity with Regulation 1089/2010 for data sets, and not for spatial data services (incl. network services).

However, since the required multiplicity is 1..* for both data sets/series and services, services also need to include at least one conformity statement, but it does not have to be related to Regulation 1089/2010.

This also makes sense, since NS do not need to comply with Regulation 1089/2010; thus, if a conformity statement was required, it would by default have to be "not evaluated".

conformance is declared against [Regulation 1089/2010]. Or [Regulation 1312/2014] is seen as a separate regulation and conformance is declared against it.

The usual way of referral is the following (using an example):

Council Directive of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to alcoholometers and alcohol hydrometers (76/765/EEC) (OJ L 262, 27.9.1976, p. 143), as subsequently amended.

Such formulation means that you refer to a legal instrument together with all its subsequent amendments.

In case for a specific reason you want to list all the amending acts concerned you could use the following formulation:Council Directive of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to alcoholometers and alcohol hydrometers (76/765/EEC) (OJ L 262, 27.9.1976, p. 143), as amended by (and then you list the amending acts).

Therefore, conformity shall be declared only to Regulation 1089/2010 (as subsequently amended).

Option 1 should use the element connectPoint with the same URL as resource locator being an access point.The operationName is a free text field, so a specified text something like “operation description” can be used to point out that the operations are described in the connectPoint access point.

Accepted. Requirement 7.1 has been updated accordingly.
