Data Specifications





INSPIRE data models

The INSPIRE Implementing Rules on interoperability of spatial data sets and services and the data specification guidance documents are based on the UML application schemas developed by the Thematic Working Groups.

This page makes these UML models available in different formats and views. For each of these, two versions are provided:

Approved Implementing Rule - Annex I: This version corresponds to the content of the Implementing Rules and the latest publicly available version of the guidance documents (May 2010). They therefore cover all Annex I spatial data themes and include some candidate and placeholder types for Annex II/III spatial data themes that were specified during the Annex I development.

Annex II+III data specifications currently under consultation: This version corresponds to the content of the draft data specifications that have been published for consultation and testing in June 2011. It covers all Annex I, II and III spatial data themes.

This feature catalogue is meant as an easy entry point to the INSPIRE data models and data specifications for implementers and decision makers. It gives an informative overview of the spatial object types and data types defined in the INSPIRE data specifications. These types are used by data providers for the exchange and classification of spatial objects from data sets that relate to one or several INSPIRE spatial data themes.

    		• HTML view of the INSPIRE UML models
    This page provides a interactive HTML view of the complete UML data models. This view includes detailed definitions of spatial object types, data types, enumerations and code lists and UML class diagrams.

    UML models for Enterprise Architect For developers who want to use the INSPIRE data models in Enterprise Architect (or another UML modeling tool), these archives includes the INSPIRE UML models as an EA project file and three XMI exports (uml2.1_xmi2.1, uml1.3_xmi1.1, xmi1.1_EA-roundtrip).

  • Approved Implementing Rule - Annex I
  • Annex II+III data specifications currently under consultation

    • Alternatively, developers using EA can link to the INSPIRE UML models using these svn repositories. Instructions for how to connect to the repositories from EA are available here.
