# Implementation of an INSPIRE registry in France : State of progress

<figure><img src="image_3.png" /></figure>
Framework

> **Article 10** of the Directive requires that Member States ensure that **any information, including data, codes and technical classifications**, needed for compliance with the Directive **are made available to public authorities or third parties**.

> INSPIRE includes only one legal obligation related to registers: **extensions by data providers of the code lists** mandated in Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 on interoperability of spatial data sets and services need to be published in registers.

> However, MS and thematic communities are setting up **registers for other purposes** as well, e.g. to have a **single repository of all organizations** in a MS responsible for implementing INSPIRE, including their unique identifiers. In general, registers are useful in all situations where, by a reference code rather than free text, in data exchange, ambiguities or inconsistencies can be avoided. Also registers can facilitate the internationalization of user interfaces by providing multilingual labels

> **This led to create of a French Registry within geocatalogue.fr.** This will provide Data Publishers with access to code lists and other reference data and schemas required at a FR level and not located at other sources, e.g. the EC INSPIRE geoportal.

# Implementation of a FR registry : roadmap

## 2017 :

* Tests of two open source softwares :

— Re3gistry (https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/software/re3gistry)

— UKGovLD (https://github.com/UKGovLD)

## 2018 :

* Implementation of FR registry based on Re3gistry (http://registre.geocatalogue.fr)

* Publication of codelists on geology theme (borehole, lithology, ...) and transport network (surface composition, etc.)

* Set up of registers for extended INSPIRE code lists (e.g. borehole purpose) and link to the INSPIRE register federation (http://inspire-regadmin.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reg-federations/)

Re3gistry and UKGovLD are open science projects focused on improving the quality and efficiency of geospatial data in support of sustainable development.
Issues / needs for register management

> An objective of the FR registry is to provide data providers a tool to manage registers (with URI « registre.geocatalogue.fr/[...] »)

• It needs editing functionalities and (simple) workflows for validate / publish codelists

> But some data providers are already managing registers in registries (with specific URI, e.g. data.geoscience.fr/[...])

• FR registry can be seen as a « register federation »

• It need for syncronisation mechanisms (harvest or distributed search ?)
# Implementation of a FR registry : publication

<figure><img src="image_8.png" /></figure>
> The registers have to be **searchable through a UI** but also **by applications** (« Machine to machine »)

• e.g. to use custom UI, to select values in an editing form, ...

• Notifications when the content change (RSS, ...)

• Specify output format (RDF, ...) and protocol (SPARQL, ...)

• Performance issues

> **We need to link registers with other vocabularies**

• Using a proper **linked data approach**

• Without re-declaring concepts across registers

Conclusion and perspectives

> FR Registry (based on Re3gistry) respond to the
obligation of publishing INSPIRE code lists

> But it have to connect to other tools (like ukgovld) to
foster a linked data approach and not a tool approach on
the registers and register federation topics

> And we need to improve the system in two ways :

* Register management (technical but also organizational issues)

* Register access and use (technical issues)

> Planned in 2018 – 2019 :

* Upgrade Re3gistry v1.3 to v2 (early 2019)

* Publication of codelists in other themes (Utility and Government services, Land use, Land cover, etc.)
