=== Data storage/management ===
* [http://postgis.net/ PosgGIS] adds spatial capabilities to the PostgreSQL relational database. It extends PostgreSQL so it can store, query, and manipulate spatial data. In this Quickstart we will use ‘PostgreSQL’ when describing general database functions, and ‘PostGIS’ when describing the additional spatial functionality provided by PostGIS.
* [http://www.rasdaman.org Rasdaman]: flexible, scalable spatio-temporal raster server, supporting OGC WMS, WCS, WCPS, WPS; OGC WCS Core Reference Implementation.
* [http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/ SpatiaLite]: ...

=== Data modeling ===
* [http://idm.spatialdbgroup.polimi.it/it/inspire-data-model-tools/ INSPIRE Data Model Tools]: developed by Politecnico di Milano to facilitate the browsing of INSPIRE Data Specifications and provide procedure to structure PostGIS pseudo-INSPIRE SQL structure

=== Data mapping/transformation ===
==== OSGeoLive tools ====
* [http://www.deegree.org/ deegree]: deegree supports a internal DSL (a XML configuration file) to specify mappings from a database model into a GML application schema which allow on-the-fly transformation of data.
* [https://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/geokettle_quickstart.html Geokettle] is an ETL tool and can be useful to transform an existing dataset to comply with the schemes defined by the INSPIRE Directive. ''note: currently set to be retired in Live 11''
* In GDAL, the GMLAS driver is available which can read and write XML files of arbitrary structure, included those containing so-called Complex Features, provided that they are accompanied by one or several XML schemas that describe the structure of their content. While this driver is generic to any XML schema, the main target is to be able to read and write documents referencing directly or indirectly to the GML namespace.

==== Other ====
* [http://www.esdi-community.eu/projects/hale HALE] is a tool for defining and evaluating conceptual schema mappings. HALE allows domain experts to create logically and semantically consistent mappings and to transform geodata based on these mappings. Furthermore, a major focus is put on the documentation of the schema transformation process and its impacts, e.g. in the form of lineage information attached to the resultant transformed data . Within the context of INSPIRE, data transformations will be needed both to publish data in compliance with the INSPIRE schemes and to use the published (and downloaded) data in combination with other sources.
* [http://inspire-foss.org inspire-foss.org INSPIRE FOSS]: ETL-tooling for INSPIRE Data harmonization and harmonized web services (largely unmaintained)
* [https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/software/java4inspire/description Java4INSPIRE]: is a java library to handle INSPIRE data as java objects; it may be used to transform existing spatial datasets into INSPIRE compliant datasets

Wiki-Lhquiros:

''Join the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/inspire-data INSPIRE Mailing list].''

== Introduction ==

[http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ INSPIRE] (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) is an initiative launched by the European Commission and developed in collaboration with the EU Member States and accession countries. It aims at making available relevant, harmonized and qualitative geographic information in the domain of environmental applications to support formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of Community policies with a territorial dimension or impact. INSPIRE intends to trigger the creation of a European spatial data infrastructure (SDI) that delivers to the users integrated spatial information services linked to common standards and protocols.
The [http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX:32007L0002 INSPIRE Directive] came into force on 15 May 2007 and will be implemented in [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/inspire-roadmap/61 various stages], with full implementation required by 2021.

The [http://inspire-geoportal.ec.europa.eu/) INSPIRE geoportal] provides the means to search for spatial data sets and spatial data services, and subject to access restrictions, to view spatial data sets from the EU Member States within the framework of the INSPIRE Directive.<ref>http://inspire-geoportal.ec.europa.eu/</ref>

=== Scope ===
Datasets in scope of INSPIRE are ones which come under one or more of INSPIRE themes.<ref>http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/data-specifications/2892</ref>
The INSPIRE Directive defines 34 spatial data themes needed for environmental applications, grouped in 3 Annexes.
The themes and links to more information are listed on [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/Themes/Data-Specifications/2892 the INSPIRE website]

=== The INSPIRE Components ===
According to the INSPIRE Directive, View and Download services should be set up for the data which is within scope and metadata should be provided. Furthermore, data needs to comply with the INSPIRE data schemes and monitoring, testing and validation of the data, metadata and services should be executed.

There are thus five INSPIRE major components:
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/network-services/41 Network Services].
#* View Services. Digital maps served through WMS 1.3 / ISO 19128. This makes it possible, as a minimum, to display, navigate, zoom in/out, pan, or overlay viewable spatial data sets and to display legend information;
#* Download Services. Digital data served through WFS 2.0 / ISO 19142 or download packages This enables copies of spatial data sets, or parts of such sets, to be downloaded and, where practicable, accessed directly;
#* Discovery Services. Catalog Services making it possible to search for spatial data sets and services on the basis of the content of the corresponding metadata and to display the content of the metadata
#* Transformation Services.
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/metadata/6541 Metadata].
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/data-specifications/2892 Data Specification]. The harmonization of data that is needed to enable cross-country data sharing.
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/monitoring-and-reporting/69 Reporting and Monitoring].
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/data-and-service-sharing/62 Data and Service Sharing]. Licenses, copyright, all the fun stuff that prevents us from using data in our software.

A complete set of INSPIRE tools and resources is available in the [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/inspire-tools INSPIRE Toolkit section].

== OSGeo's involvement ==
Many OSGeo projects are already tied into processes and the emerging INSPIRE architecture.
A formal meeting of OSGeo representatives with people (from JRC) involved in INSPIRE was planned for the end of 2008 but never happened. In 2010, JRC and OSGeo joined forces to make an [http://inspire-forum.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pg/groups/13847/ Open Source Mash-up at the INSPIRE conference] possible.
During FOSS4G conferences in 2016 and 2017 topic talks were co-organized by JRC to involve the join together the INSPIRE an OSGeo communities ([[2016 Topic Talk - become INSPIRE'd by OSGeo|Topic Talk 'Become INSPIRE'd by OSGeo (FOSS4G 2016)]], [https://europe.foss4g.org/2017/Topic_Talks Topic Talk - OSGeo-Live for INSPIRE (FOSS4G 2017]))

== What is available and what is missing? ==
How good does Open Source GIS software fit into the INSPIRE picture? Can it be used as a software stack to build INSPIRE SDI's?

The current OSGeo-Live applications include Open Source software that is needed to implement the different INSPIRE components. In this regard, providing an INSPIRE-flavoured version of the OSGeo-Live environment could be useful to provide European data providers with some of the technological means to help them meet INSPIRE’s legal obligations. This way, both the open source and INSPIRE communities may reinforce each other. As a starting point, the [[INSPIRE tools inventory|INSPIRE tools inventory wiki page]] gives an overview of the available OSGeo-Live applications useful in the realm of INSPIRE, is given. The tools are grouped according to the [https://inspire-reference.jrc.ec.europa.eu/vocabulary/tasks INSPIRE-related tasks] they support. Furthermore, the applications currently missing to meet the INSPIRE obligations and the on-going projects are also mentioned on the[[INSPIRE tools inventory|INSPIRE tools inventory page]].

Everybody who wants to contribute to this or wants to collaborate on creating an INSPIRE-flavoured OSGeoLive environment is invited to join the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/inspire-data INSPIRE Mailing list] and keep the [[INSPIRE tools inventory|INSPIRE tools inventory wiki page]] updated.

From the data providers' perspective, the [[INSPIRE data experiments|INSPIRE data experiments wiki page]] will describe example use cases that demonstrate the creation of INSPIRE compliant data through OSGeo software.

== Introduction ==

[http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ INSPIRE] (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) is an initiative launched by the European Commission and developed in collaboration with EU Member States and accession countries. It aims at making available relevant, harmonized and qualitative geographic information in the domain of environmental applications to support formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of Community policies with a territorial dimension or impact. INSPIRE intends to trigger the creation of a European spatial data infrastructure (SDI) that delivers to the users integrated spatial information services linked by common standards and protocols.
The Directive came into force on 15 May 2007 and will be implemented in various stages, with full implementation required by 2021.

The [http://inspire-geoportal.ec.europa.eu/) INSPIRE geoportal] provides the means to search for spatial data sets and spatial data services, and subject to access restrictions, to view spatial data sets from the EU Member States within the framework of the INSPIRE Directive.<ref>http://inspire-geoportal.ec.europa.eu/</ref>

=== Scope ===
Datasets in scope of INSPIRE are ones which come under one or more of INSPIRE themes.<ref>http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/data-specifications/2892</ref>
The INSPIRE Directive defines 34 spatial data themes needed for environmental applications, grouped in 3 Annexes.
The themes and links to more information are listed on [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/Themes/Data-Specifications/2892 the INSPIRE website]

=== The INSPIRE Components ===
According to the INSPIRE Directive, View and Download services should be set up for the data which is within scope and metadata should be provided. Furthermore, data needs to comply with the INSPIRE data schemes and monitoring, testing and validation of the data, metadata and services should be executed.

There are thus five INSPIRE major components:
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/network-services/41 Network Services].
#* View Services. Digital maps served through WMS 1.3 / ISO 19128. This makes it possible, as a minimum, to display, navigate, zoom in/out, pan, or overlay viewable spatial data sets and to display legend information;
#* Download Services. Digital data served through WFS 2.0 / ISO 19142 or download packages This enables copies of spatial data sets, or parts of such sets, to be downloaded and, where practicable, accessed directly;
#* Discovery Services. Catalog Services making it possible to search for spatial data sets and services on the basis of the content of the corresponding metadata and to display the content of the metadata
#* Transformation Services.
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/metadata/6541 Metadata].
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/data-specifications/2892 Data Specification]. The harmonization of data that is needed to enable cross-country data sharing.
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/monitoring-and-reporting/69 Reporting and Monitoring].
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/data-and-service-sharing/62 Data and Service Sharing]. Licenses, copyright, all the fun stuff that prevents us from using data in our software.

== OSGeo's involvement ==
Many OSGeo projects are already tied into processes and the emerging INSPIRE architecture.
A formal meeting of OSGeo representatives with people (from JRC) involved in INSPIRE was planned for the end of 2008 but never happened. In 2010, JRC and OSGeo joined forces to make an [http://inspire-forum.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pg/groups/13847/ Open Source Mash-up at the INSPIRE conference] possible.
During FOSS4G conferences in 2016 and 2017 topic talks were co-organized by JRC to involve the join together the INSPIRE an OSGeo communities ([[2016 Topic Talk - become INSPIRE'd by OSGeo|Topic Talk 'Become INSPIRE'd by OSGeo (FOSS4G 2016)]], [https://europe.foss4g.org/2017/Topic_Talks Topic Talk - OSGeo-Live for INSPIRE (FOSS4G 2017]))

== What is available and what is missing? ==
How good does Open Source GIS software fit into the INSPIRE picture? Can it be used as a software stack to build INSPIRE SDI's?

The current OSGeo-Live applications include Open Source software that is needed to implement the different INSPIRE components. In this regard, providing an INSPIRE-flavoured version of the OSGeo-Live environment could be useful to provide European data providers with some of the technological means to help them meet INSPIRE’s legal obligations. This way, both the open source and INSPIRE communities may reinforce each other. As a starting point, the [[INSPIRE tools inventory|INSPIRE tools inventory wiki page]] gives an overview of the available OSGeo-Live applications useful in the realm of INSPIRE is given. The tools are grouped according to the INSPIRE-related tasks they support. Furthermore, the applications currently missing to meet the INSPIRE obligations and the on-going projects are also mentioned on the[[INSPIRE tools inventory|INSPIRE tools inventory page]].

Everybody who wants to contribute to this or wants to collaborate on creating an INSPIRE-flavoured OSGeoLive environment is invited to join the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/inspire-data INSPIRE Mailing list] and keep the [[INSPIRE tools inventory|INSPIRE tools inventory wiki page]] updated.

From the data providers' perspective, the [[INSPIRE data experiments|INSPIRE data experiments wiki page]] will describe example use cases that demonstrate the creation of INSPIRE compliant data through OSGeo software.

== Introduction ==

[http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ INSPIRE] (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) is an initiative launched by the European Commission and developed in collaboration with EU Member States and accession countries. It aims at making available relevant, harmonized and qualitative geographic information in the domain of environmental applications to support formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of Community policies with a territorial dimension or impact. INSPIRE intends to trigger the creation of a European spatial data infrastructure (SDI) that delivers to the users integrated spatial information services linked by common standards and protocols.
The Directive came into force on 15 May 2007 and will be implemented in various stages, with full implementation required by 2021.

The [http://inspire-geoportal.ec.europa.eu/) INSPIRE geoportal] provides the means to search for spatial data sets and spatial data services, and subject to access restrictions, to view spatial data sets from the EU Member States within the framework of the INSPIRE Directive.<ref>http://inspire-geoportal.ec.europa.eu/</ref>

=== Scope ===
Datasets in scope of INSPIRE are ones which come under one or more of INSPIRE themes.<ref>http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/data-specifications/2892</ref>
The INSPIRE Directive defines 34 spatial data themes needed for environmental applications, grouped in 3 Annexes.
The themes and links to more information are listed on [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/Themes/Data-Specifications/2892 the INSPIRE website]

=== The INSPIRE Components ===
According to the INSPIRE Directive, View and Download services should be set up for the data which is within scope and metadata should be provided. Furthermore, data needs to comply with the INSPIRE data schemes and monitoring, testing and validation of the data, metadata and services should be executed.

There are thus five major components:
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/spatial-data-services/580 Network Services].
#* View Services. Digital maps served through WMS 1.3 / ISO 19128. This makes it possible, as a minimum, to display, navigate, zoom in/out, pan, or overlay viewable spatial data sets and to display legend information;
#* Download Services. Digital data served through WFS 2.0 / ISO 19142 or download packages This enables copies of spatial data sets, or parts of such sets, to be downloaded and, where practicable, accessed directly;
#* Discovery Services. Catalog Services making it possible to search for spatial data sets and services on the basis of the content of the corresponding metadata and to display the content of the metadata
#* Transformation Services.
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/metadata/6541 Metadata].
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/data-specifications/2892 Data Specification]. The harmonization of data that is needed to enable cross-country data sharing.
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/monitoring-and-reporting/69 Reporting and Monitoring].
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/data-and-service-sharing/62 Data and Service Sharing]. Licenses, copyright, all the fun stuff that prevents us from using data in our software.

== OSGeo's involvement ==
Many OSGeo projects are already tied into processes and the emerging INSPIRE architecture.
A formal meeting of OSGeo representatives with people (from JRC) involved in INSPIRE was planned for the end of 2008 but never happened. In 2010, JRC and OSGeo joined forces to make an [http://inspire-forum.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pg/groups/13847/ Open Source Mash-up at the INSPIRE conference] possible. During FOSS4G conferences in 2016 and 2017 topic talks were co-organized by JRC to involve the join together the INSPIRE en OSGeo communities ([[2016 Topic Talk - become INSPIRE'd by OSGeo|Topic Talk 'Become INSPIRE'd by OSGeo (FOSS4G 2016)]], [https://europe.foss4g.org/2017/Topic_Talks Topic Talk - OSGeo-Live for INSPIRE (FOSS4G 2017]))

== What is available and what is missing? ==
How good does Open Source GIS software fit into the INSPIRE picture? Can it be used as a software stack to build INSPIRE SDI's?

The current OSGeo-Live applications includes Open Source software that is needed to implement the different INSPIRE components. In this regard, providing an INSPIRE-flavoured version of the OSGeo-Live environment could be usefull to provide European data providers with some of the technological means to help them meet INSPIRE’s legal obligations. This way, both the open source and INSPIRE communities may reinforce each other. As a starting point, the [[INSPIRE tools inventory|INSPIRE tools inventory wiki page]] gives an overview of the available OSGeo-Live applications usefull in the realm of INSPIRE is given. The tools are grouped according to the INSPIRE-related tasks they support. Furthermore, the applications currently missing to meet the INSPIRE obligations and the on-going projects are also mentioned on the[[INSPIRE tools inventory|INSPIRE tools inventory page]].

Everybody who wants to contribute to this or wants to collaborate on creating an INSPIRE-flavoured OSGeoLive environment is invited to join the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/inspire-data INSPIRE Mailing list] and keep the [[INSPIRE tools inventory|INSPIRE tools inventory wiki page]] updated.

From the data providers' perspective, the [[INSPIRE data experiments|INSPIRE data experiments wiki page]] will describe example use cases that demonstrate the creation of INSPIRE compliant data through OSGeo software.

== Geoinquietos Madrid : Grupo de trabajo Python ==

* '''Objetivo''': Aprender programación en python
* '''Facilitadores''': Graeme Herbert y Roberto Antolín
* '''Proxima reunión''': Introducción a python en [http://medialab-prado.es/article/donde_y_cuando Medialab Prado] (07-06-2013, primera planta a las 17:00)

En la [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/madrid lista de correo de Geoinquietos Madrid] se irá discutiendo todo lo relativo al grupo, pero recordad empezar siempre el asunto con '''[Grupo python]''' para que la gente pueda discriminar lo que quiere y no leer.

=== Documentación ===

Python fue desarrollado en primera instancia por Guido van Rossum, el cual ha escrito un [https://www.google.es/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&ved=0CFoQFjAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpdf-world.net%2Fpdf-2011%2Fguido-van-rossum-pdf.pdf&ei=5AQmUfGeCYS7hAecroDADg&usg=AFQjCNGP5JWkH4cVnoFwQVGlymnKapzaxw&sig2=NVPBfcUo7G7SQSDVvGjBMA manual]. Esta versión es del 2000 está desactualizada. Por desgracia, la versión actualizada no se encuentra un versión en pdf por internet si no es en amazon. Existe, sin embargo el [http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/ tutorial-manual]. En la [http://www.python.org/doc/ página oficial de documentación de python] hay varios enlaces que también se pueden utilizar y también una página con [http://wiki.python.org/moin/SpanishLanguage enlaces a documentos en español].

Existen otros tutoriales y cursos como el de la serie "learn XXXX the hard way", vamos, en el modo duro. En este caso [http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ Learn Python the Hard Way]. No es muy difícil, pero sí es duro por repetitivo. El truco está en escribir todo (nada de copiar-pegar) y así ir aprendiendo a base de equivocarse. Yo lo he seguido durante un tiempo pero acaba cansando si no se es muy perseverante. Puede ser útil para marcarse un guión y para practicar de manera individual.

Para los que prefieren literatura en castellano está el libro [http://mundogeek.net/tutorial-python/ Python para todos], que parece bastante completo y que podría ser una de las referencias, precisamente porque está solventada la barrera del idioma. Para los que quieren probar con el entorno de IDLE existe una [https://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/python/idle_intro/IDLE_spanish.html introducción en español].

En la pagina oficial de python.org hay una sección que tiene una selección de aplicaciones de python [https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&c=391 relacionados con los SIG].

Por último, añadir también el [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uv9yfy51vsnpixk/ElZyF05N40/Grupo%20Python enlace] donde se ha colgado los vídeos del curos de coursera [https://www.coursera.org/course/programming1 Learn to Program: The Fundamentals] basado en python. Son vídeos muy sencillitos y que tratan muy poco temario. Describen los tipos de python y un poco de control de flujo. La ventaja es que hay ejercicios para practicar y coger una buena práxis.

En esta sección se irán colgando todos los enlaces a documentación que puedan resultar interesantes para el grupo.
