2.2. Key adaption issues for SDI Product types INSPIRE offers with the Annex I-III definitions (INSPIRE) SDI wide known product types and (hopefully) unique references. License types Creative Commons offers multiple license types and an unique reference by URI BHT Berlin 6 Key preconditions for a roaming operation model (SDI) are network wide known product types and in the case of data with IPR common license types. Since 2006….

Therefore a dimension in the analysis were different CS-W * specifications For the meta data model the existing ISO / was used together with the INSPIRE IR. Some data field names needed to be adapted with a slightly different meaning (e.g. distributor vs. provider). Also the xlink arc role attributed was used to assign the partnerships ISO ISO ISO ISO Discovery Service INSPIRE Profile OGC CS-W Free Filter Encoding (WFS like)

Find SDI Service Customer Advertiser SDI Service Customer Applications and Geoportals Service Metadata Data Set Metadata RM Layers Discovery Service SDI Service Provider This thesis focus only on the find phase Roaming RM Client Layers Client side needs to know which home provider he has. Therefore the client side gets a RM Layer. This layer can be compared to the function of a GSM SIMcard. For the find phase only the homeprovider (ID) needs to be stored and added to the request. Depending on the CSW profile also additional logic needs to be executed in this Client RM/roaming layer.

Key results BHT Berlin 23 Although the knowledge of the home provider needs to be added in all cases at the client side ( a la simcard ), the INSPIRE IR for Metadata and Discovery service can be used for the roaming model without any implementation modifications.

Conclusion Operation Models Centered Business Operation Model (a la e-commerce) Roaming Operation to introduce seamless business and technical interoperability Competition Balancing of risks, investments and opportunities Gap analysis with existing components in the “find” phase Positive, no specification/implementation change needed Planed gap analysis for the “agree” and later “bind” phase BHT Berlin 24
