Dear All,

INSPIRE Thematic Cluster #3 and EuroGeographics INSPIRE-KEN are organizing the Workshop “Implementation and potential of INSPIRE coverage data and WCS” in the INSPIRE Conference 2016, in Barcelona.

The workshop is scheduled on Friday 30th, from 9:00 to 12:30 h, at room B3 (Venue: Palau de Congressos de Catalunya).

You might find the Abstract and the Workshop description and Agenda here:

Objectives

1. Go deep into the most relevant problems related to coverage data and services implementation, from those already identified in the “Issues implementing INSPIRE Coverages” discussion paper presented in the 29th MIG-T Meeting (face-to-face) in Ispra.
2. Promote delivery of INSPIRE coverage data through INSPIRE WCS, including and update of the new rules set up by MIWP-7b.
3. Influence OGC in order to take into account uncovered INSPIRE requirements, based on outcome from the workshop discussion.

Workshop structure

The activity is structured in 2 sessions of 90 minutes each:

Session 1: INSPIRE Coverages and WCS – State of the Art (From 9:00 to 10:30 h)

This session is devoted to show the benefit and the potential of coverages and WCS.

Discussion: Coverage data and service implementation (ALL)

• How to handle the huge volume of coverage data.
• Implementation of tiling.
