[Medin_dacwg] coordinate reference system - INSPIRE requirement?

[Jens.Rasmussen at gov.scot]

Hi Sean

The ETRS89 boundaries (http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4258/) are defined obviously with a terrestrial perspective. We have data extending well beyond those boundaries.
So not sure how that will impact on trying to provide datasets that span across these boundaries in the future (if at all)

Thanks,
Jens

Subject: [Medin_dacwg] coordinate reference system - INSPIRE requirement?

Dear DAC Working Group colleagues,

The MEDIN Standards Working Group held a meeting back in November, after the Mega-meeting. One of the items that was raised for discussion was about the mandated use of the European Union ETRS-89 coordinate reference system for INSPIRE compliance.

I have attached the paper the SWG discussed in relation to this. Our end conclusion was that the mandating of ETRS-89 as a coordinate reference system for INSPIRE compliance did not impact metadata standards, but may have implications for yourselves in the realm of view and download services.

I am aware that some of you already have your data referenced against ETRS-89, but the SWG felt it would be wise to highlight this issue to the entire of the DAC Working Group.

Regards,

Sean Gaffney
