Joint EuroSDR & EuroGeographics Workshop on Geodata Discoverability

28 April 2022 (Online)

Data discoverability has been identified decades ago as an important stake both by the Spatial data Infrastructure community and by the Web of data community. As more and more data are produced and published online in our societies, this stake is only growing.

This workshop aimed at sharing practical experiences, findings and roadmaps related to the discoverability and accessibility of data with a geographical characteristic in particular but not limited to data covered by the INSPIRE directive. It was co-organised by EuroSDR Commission 3 and EuroGeographics KEN INSPIRE.

It welcomed presentations representative of the diversity of stakeholders who contribute to the field.

Actors with varied backgrounds and different ambitions design dataset discovery solutions, possibly specific to a given thematic or geographical scope.
