As the deadlines for the first batches of INSPIRE Annex I metadata is approaching in December,  people are waking up to the work ahead. The UK Location Programme has been working hard at developing solutions, and preparing information for anyone needing to meet the INSPIRE directive in making spatial data available and accessible.

The latest culmination was a Data Providers workshop, where a set of presentations laid out what will be expected in terms of delivering data, and what tools are going to be made available to help thise work. The presentations are now online, and I’d recommend anyone finding themselves having to publish spatial data under INSPIRE to have a look at these – they are a great introduction to the broad concepts, while there is also a good amount of detail for the more technically minded – helping to make decisions on the use of these tools or other services.
