6. PROJECT IDEA AND RESULTS
INSPIRE Conference, Kehl, 5th Sept 2017
• Metadata
• nobody likes them
• Which metadata platform is
the best one?
• The one not shown to a user.
• We need to get from
INSPIRE XML metadata to
simple visualization
• User will then not feel like
using metadata.

RELEVANCE
• Re-use of INSPIRE metadata on GEOSS/Copernicus
products
• Opening INSPIRE/GEOSS/Copernicus to laymen
• Deleting borders between data and metadata

17. REUSE AND FOLLOW-UP
• Anyone who is willing to play with metadata…
…aka „metadata player“
