The module aims to teach participants on the INSPIRE data specification development approach. The module explains the standardized approach, the different interoperability components to be taken into account and how this was implemented in INSPIRE. The different steps are described in detail and illustrated with examples in the field of biodiversity. Demonstrations and hands-on exercises are part of the module in order illustrate the method and test it on some use cases.

The module introduces the concept of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). It describes and illustrates the 5 types of INSPIRE network services (discovery, view, download, transformation and invoking). It explains the link to existing standards of ISO and OGC (e.g. CSW) and also discusses the INSPIRE implementing rules that are applicable including conformity aspects.

The Linked Thesaurus Framework namely LusTRE has been developed as part of the infrastructures for the INSPIRE implementation. It provides interlinking among different environmental domain thesauri and code lists and offers access to them as one virtual integrated linked data source – which shall support better metadata compilation and metadata discovery for describing and finding INSPIRE data and services. The learning objective of this module is to offer a knowledge of LusTRE: the content of the framework as well as the set of services available to exploit them.

The module discusses the principles of OGC Sensor Web Enablement and the standards for modeling and encoding measurement data as well as sensor metadata. The modules also treats web services for providing access to observation data, controlling sensors and event notification and discusses typical application scenarios for the Sensor Web technology and different approaches for the deployment of Sensor Web Systems.
