[geo-discuss] Fw: INSPIRE Draft Implementing Rules for Metadata open for public consultation.

dear all,

The second-round draft of the INSPIRE Implementing Rules has now gone
into fully-public consultation. This means comments don't have to go back
through an SDIC/LMO, as before. The consultation ends on the 21st December.
http://www.ec-gis.org/inspire/reports/ImplementingRules/INSPIRE_Metadata_ImplementingRule_v3_20071026.pdf

What I've heard is that there was notable negative feedback from SDICs
that the line between 'normative' and 'informative' rules was too
blurry, so the draft has been chopped right down and a lot of the
appendices dealing with mappings to Dublin Core, ISO19115, etc, 
have been dropped and will be published as "complementary" later.

Quick! Into the INSPIRE-compliance-o-matic-mobile!

   The INSPIRE Draft Implementing Rules for Metadata (version 3) are
now
   available for public view and comments. The call for comments is
open for
   a period of eight weeks, until 21 December 2007. Only comments
received by
   the deadline using the template provided will be considered. At the
end of
   this phase of public consultation, the Commission will elaborate a
revised
   proposal and submit it to the Regulatory Committee as required by
the
   Directive.

   Please see
   [1]http://www.ec-gis.org/inspire/public_consultations/metadata/index.cfm

   Additional Material provided as part of this consultation include:

   * List of all the comments received to the previous draft
   * Implementing
     Rule (Version 2) published in February 2007, together with action
     proposed by the Drafting Team Metadata on each comment
   * Synthesis of comments prepared by the Drafting Team Metadata and
     recommendations to the Commission
   * Documentation of the major changes introduced in Version 3 of the
     Implementing Rule by the Commission compared to V ersion 2

     As an additional informative document, the relation between the
proposed
     implementing rule and the European standards EN ISO 19115 and EN
ISO
     19119 is also available. This is an initial document that will be
     developed further in consultation with the stakeholders and
relevant
     standardization organisations.

     Further documents explaining the relationship to other standards
such as
     Dublin Core, and guidelines for the implementation of the
Metadata
     Implementing Rules  will be published at a later date.
     Best regards,
     The INSPIRE team
