Background: At the end of 2009, the INSPIRE Committee gave a positive opinion to an amendment to the Network Services Regulation including the Implementing Rules for the network service of type transformation.

The accompanying technical guidance drafted by the Network Service Drafting team does not cover schema transformation, although schema transformation is identified as one of the useful transformation service category.

To support the Member States for the implementation of this Network Service, the Commission awarded a contract to RSW Geomatics, 1Spatial and Rob Walker Consultancy for the development of technical guidance for the schema transformation in line with the proposed regulation.

To ensure an as wide as possible consultation of the technical guidance, the Commission is organizing an INSPIRE conference workshop at Krakow on Tuesday 22nd June at 14.00, where interested SDIC/LMO will have the opportunity to provide feedback and discuss with the authors of the Technical Guidance.

The workshop will introduce the technical guidance, briefly demonstrate a prototype schema transformation service conformant with the technical guidance, and will aim at getting as much feedback from potential providers and users as possible to confirm if the conclusions reached in the Technical Guidance are understood and are based on correct assumptions.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to contribute directly to the development of the technical guidance - it concerns about all geo-community - upward movement of the network services is vital!
