Integrated Approach to Test Geospatial Information Resources Based on INSPIRE Reference Validator API
0 likes50 views
This document discusses an integrated approach to testing INSPIRE geospatial resources based on the INSPIRE reference validator API. It describes two motivating use cases for validating INSPIRE resources in Slovakia. A pilot prototype was developed that allows searching for and extracting INSPIRE metadata, executing validation tests in batches, and managing resulting reports and logs. Future directions include expanding test capabilities and integrating with additional registries, as well as enhancing reporting functionality and localization.
Integrated Approach to Test Geospatial Information Resources Based on INSPIRE Reference Validator API
- 1. Integrated Approach to Test Geospatial Information Resources Based on INSPIRE reference validator API INSPIRE Conference 2018 Thursday, September 20, 2018 - 16:00 Antwerp Belgium Martin Tuchyňa, Katharina Schleidt and Tomáš Kliment
- 3. Motivation Use case 1 •National coordination of INSPIRE implementation Target user: Ministry of Environment of the Slovak Republic needs to: • Validate the INSPIRE resources declared by national stakeholders • Document validation results • Provide the guidance for fixing of identified issues • Justify law enforcement • Current collection of testing results via G‐Doc Table, providing: • Testing reports including errors • Proposals for errors fixing • Testing based on: • Common INSPIRE validator 1.0.0. (MD,NS Download, Interoperability Annex I) • INSPIRE Geoportal validator (NS View) 3
- 4. Motivation Use case 2 •Support for stakeholders Target users: INSPIRE resource providers needs to: • Validate INSPIRE resources they provide / received from subcontractors • Work with web graphical user interface (GUI) in Slovak language • Access test logs and reports • Communicate the testing results with INSPIRE coordinator • Execute iterations till the errors are not fixed 4
- 5. Identified gaps Functional gaps •INSPIRE resources search and extraction (Direct URI, Spatial Data Registry, OGC WxS) •Possibility to execute the integrated tests starting from from dataset / network service metadata Content gaps •WebGui localised in Slovak language •Possibility to create interlinked INSPIRE resources from the services capabilities •Storage of the test logs and reports with persistent links 5
- 7. INSPIRE resources search 7 Query to RPI catalogue “UGKK” List of resources matching the query A resource selected for testing “CP Download Service” Resource metadata URI
- 8. Extraction and test scenario preparation 8 Download service metadata (GetRecodById) Dataset metadata (GetRecodById) Download service interface (WFS GetCapabilities) Spatial data (WFS GetFeatures)
- 9. Extraction from WxS capabilities 9 WFS GetCapabilties URL Metadata created in application catalogue Download service metadata (GetRecodById) Dataset metadata (GetRecodById) Download service interface (WFS GetCapabilities) Spatial data (WFS GetFeatures)
