<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">For those not already involved, attached are slides that give an overview of the process for the INSPIRE Annex 3 data specifications and a few slides on each group which may be of interest. As well as Sea Regions
and Oceanographic Features which Kieran is involved in there are many other Specification Working Groups of relevance: biogeographic regions, habitats and biotopes, species distribution, environmental monitoring facilities (the UK Environmental Observation
Framework Data Advisory Group are lined into this), aquaculture facilities. Marine data is considered in almost all groups in one way or another, for example tidal and wave energy is considered in Energy Resources and dumping at sea is consdiered in Utility
and Government Services. </font></div>

for deciding on these Data Specifications are in the second slide.</span></font></div>

Krakow but may need explanation from someone who attended that session - any offers? Some TWGs' members are listed; others will presumably emerge soon.</font></font></span></font></div>

miss the relevant papers at the AGI conference in September); the apparent confusion between Linked Data on data.gov.uk and INSPIRE compliance; and a presentation on the Open Source 'stack' of software being produced by Ordnance Survey for use by data providers/publishers.</font></font></span></font></div>
