1. www.jrc.ec.europa.eu Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation Workshop on the INSPIRE registry and registers Alex Coley and Dave Reynolds

2. Registry developments and plans Involved organizations / governance  UKGovLD (UK Government Public Sector) –Including: Defra, Met Office, CO, OS, DCLG etc –UK ICT Controls and Standards hub –SMEs –WMO, OGC and US Met Office Scope  cross-sector, used as component for connective reference data, managing URI sets and potentially federated namespace of URIs Content  Developing but incorporating codelists for Environment, Location and WMO codes

3. Technical overview Technologies / software used Java, Apache Jena, Apache Shiro, Apache Velocity, Twitter Bootstrap Software LicenseApache v2 Access & re-use conditions ? Software free for reuse (support not free) Registry instance open, data typically OGL Standards usedRDF, SPARQL Data model compatible with ISO19135 Formats and APIs supported Formats: RDF/XML, Turtle, JSON-LD, (CSV – future) API: RESTish web API based on W3C Linked Data Platform

4. Connecting registries Existing connections to other registries  Can register external URIs within an LDRegistry  Supports forward/proxy of parts of registry namespace  Delegation of individual registers (via SPARQL)  Federation to other LD Registry implementations partially defined but not fully implemented Requirements for connections to the INSPIRE registry?  Prime requirement would be ref concepts via URIs e.g. register as external entities in LD Registry Ideally requires the URIs to be Linked Data (support conneg including to an RDF description)  Full delegation? Unclear – use cases need defining

5. Future development of INSPIRE registry How are you using / planning to use the INSPIRE registry (software or service)?  Dependent upon INSPIRE requirements and Interaction with MS Registries Which additional features would you like to see?  As above Which additional content would you like to see?  As above
