Summary

Generated

The INSPIRE Directive (2007/2/EC) establishes an EU-wide infrastructure for spatial information to support environmental policies. It requires Member States to create metadata, ensure interoperability of spatial data sets, and operate network services (discovery, view, download, transformation). Public authorities and third parties holding relevant electronic spatial data are affected.
