ESDIN - Interoperability services (WP 11)

Ladies and gentlemen,

ESDIN team with 20 consortium partners including 12 NMCAs, has a great pleasure to invite you to the ESDIN closing workshop on 29th March 2011 in Hotel Marivaux , Boulevard Adolphe Max 98, Brussels, Belgium, from 9.00 – 16.00 or to attend via a web cast.
Experts from the ESDIN team, many of them members of the INSPIRE Implementation Rules Drafting teams, will present and demonstrate the results and achievements of the project.

Find enclosed the press release launched today bringing informatin on a successful Shibboleth plugfest.

I have recently spent some time on setting up Download Services for ESDIN. I have documented those efforts in the ESDIN wiki. A description of how a service for the National Geographic Institute of Belgium was set up can be found here: Documentation of the Download Service for the NGI/IGN of Belgium.

A description of how a Download Service for the GN theme, based on EuroGeoNames data, was set up can be found here:

I wonder if this forum is a good place of sharing overviews of experiences with setting up Download Services. Would it be an idea to have a single thread for that purpose? People with experiences in this area could post their individual summaries and could ask questions. A prerequisite would be that all messages can be edited later by the original poster.

Dear expert,

We would like to invite you to the 2nd ESDIN reference group meeting.It will be hold in Paris 3rd February 2010.

Best regards

The first ESDIN WP 11 deliverable D11.1 'Best Practices for content Transformations Enabling INSPIRE-Compliant Data Delivery' has been now published on the EuroGeoForum. The deliverable will be reviewed by the Commission on 23rd of October, 2009 and may thus still change as a result of the reviewers' comments. However, the document can be regarded as close to final. As the delivery date for this report is relatively early in the project lifetime, its findings should be taken as preliminary.

Welcome to the ESDIN WP 11 'Interoperability Services' Forum.
