Gathering a 10 000 puzzle pieces in French SDI : first look back

Marc Leobet For French Point of Contact Gathering a 10 000 puzzle pieces in French SDI : first look back

To learn from past experiences
Coordination
Network of services
Metadata and Conformity
Reporting
Comitology, maintenance and Annex III

You said coordination?
A three level organisation
National
Local
Regional
Organisations are different because history of local relationships are different
It worth, so there will be no national legal framework
The national level will support regional level

At national level : two tools under State authority
Géocatalogue
Géoportail
Which evolutions? Removing practicle obstacles
In line agreement to push metadata in Géocatalogue
Free co-visualisation
From a metadata in Géocatalogue to a view in Géoportail
From view service (URL) to the Géoportail
The French Network of services

Metadata
Priority of the Year for public authorities producing data sets under Annex I
Open and compliant tools :
Géosource (= Geonetwork with a French profile),
A free Excel template with a ISO19115 XML export
A Wiki dedicated to “How to fulfill metadata fields”
Géocatalogue is the official national focal point for metadata

To offer to all stake-holders a validation tool for metadata.
2008-Géosource V2) : integrating schematron language validation (ISO/IEC standard)
Used by the JRC tool « metadata validator »
Geosource V2.3 (2010) : to be closer to JRC
Updating version to schematron code
Adding INSPIRE rules : codelist validation in french for INSPIRE themes
Integration in French Géocatalogue
Metadata validation

Issues of coherence in Europe
Difference beetween Géosource and JRC’s tool
Implemented only in english for codelist validation in INSPIRE metadata validator
Differences beetween ISO 19139 schema for gmd:language
What is the « good schema »?
We hope the official translation of « codelists register amendement to IR » will be the occasion to solve this issue.

First reporting (15 th of May)
A decision : to be based on network of services (ie. Géocatalogue)
No other solution given the number of public authorities.
In 2009, very high disparity following themes and actors
For December 2010, Géocatalogue has to be fuller!

Comitology
Drive to a good network, highly mobilized on defending their uses and needs
Exchanging arguments in a national CNIG “Linking Group”
A very strong network of readers of many communities
Up to now, all French positions at INSPIRE Committee were fully conformant to “Linking Group” consensus.

Interoperability of Annex II & III themes
A wider range of SDIC/LMO
Some advices :
Don’t aim a perfect world!
To think to implementation : stay simple
Think about maintenance.
Expert vision Our vision

Conclusions
The number of French public authorities leads to :
Protect and upgrade existing coordination at regional level
Bet on French network of services to catch metadata and implementation informations,
for example, it supports Monitoring and reporting tools
Strenghten the link between experts of TWG and SDIC/LMO to get the best interoperability implementing rules for Annex II and III
