- Abstract
The INSPIRE technical guidelines contain valuable information to ensure that the structure and interoperability of data, metadata, data series and services complies with the directive. They include the definition of a set of tests to apply to the files in the final format. This article will show how to understand the methodology and activities necessary to perform a quality control of metadata, data and INSPIRE services, using the test sets specified in the technical guidelines. The XML formats referenced in the technical guides are based on ISO standards. However, the directive goes further and defines additional rules to ensure interoperability. These added rules are structured in specific requirements, contained in the documents of the Execution Rules. Some of these requirements are grouped by conformance classes. Three steps are necessary to perform quality control: - Define some abstract tests, which define at a high level what the test does and what the expected results are. - Develop the executable tests, codifying them, and - Implement the executable tests in one or application, to perform the tests themselves. A practical example will be shown to help INSPIRE implementers publish metadata, data and conforming services.
