Implementing INSPIRE services for Dutch provinces
1 like303 views
IDgis, a small Dutch company, won the tender to implement INSPIRE services for the 12 independent provinces in the Netherlands. They developed an architecture that merges the provinces' data by harvesting their WFS services, transforming and loading the data into a centralized database. This database feeds national discovery and view services that provide harmonized, INSPIRE-compliant access to the provinces' environmental data. The implementation was organized with a central team managing the work of the provinces and IDgis developing ETL, deegree, and testing components. Knowledge and open source components were shared and can be reused by other organizations.
