Discussion items & actions

ItemNotes & Actions
Welcome and approval of the agenda
  • No comments on the agenda
Tour de table
  • JRC to share the merged  "tour de table" presentation
Introduction & Presentation of the Re3gistry 2
  • Initial proposals provided by the participants were gathered for later discussion in the 'Input/feedback session'
Guided 'hands-on' session
  • Initial proposals provided by the participants were gathered for later discussion in the 'Input/feedback session'
  • The feedback is summarised in the table below. Mainly bugs and new features have emerged
Input/feedback session on the Re3gistry 2
  • JRC presented the Re3gistry improvement proposals submitted before the meeting. Similar or related proposals were grouped where applicable
  • Every participant was asked to rank his/her 5 top proposals out of the overall possibilities
  • The most voted proposals were:
    1. Provide support for linked data (16 votes)

    2. Improve filtering/search functionality in the user interface (13 votes)
    3. Improve the search engine to enable searching remote INSPIRE central registers from a “local” registry (9 votes)

    4. Enable a search history function to navigate across the item changes (9 votes)
    5. Provide support for additional formats to enhance interoperability, e.g. compliant SKOS/XML (8 votes)

    6. Provide a syndication service to notify changes in contents and/or functionalities (8 votes)
    7. Provide additional visualization modes, e.g. a hierarchical tree view (collapsible menus) for hierarchical registers, and an alphabetical index (glossary); suitable/suggested tools are WebVOWL and owlviz (8 votes)

    8. Provide a REST API for machine-readable access, filter & read actions (7 votes)

    9. Provide image field type support (7 votes)
    10. Store developed register types as templates in order to use them to create new registers (7 votes)

    11. Implement a web based import tool, allowing a preview of the content (for each new entry/change, create a dump of the current content) (7 votes)

  • JRC to document the submitted improvement proposals on Github (using this template) and provide an estimation of the resources that those would imply
INSPIRE register federation
  • Decision: The RoR application will not be published officially for the time being, since not many countries are sharing or planning to share their code lists in it yet. Testing and experiments will continue in the current sandbox at http://inspire-regadmin.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ror
  • JRC should investigate how to integrate the RoR within the INSPIRE registry (e.g. showing in INSPIRE empty code lists types a link to the available values coming from other sources)
  • JRC to double-check if SKOS/RDF format could act the federation format (instead of RoR specification)
  • JRC to rediscuss with EEA how to align their vocabularies

Setting up a community around the Re3gistry
  • ELISE funding is available for the Re3gistry development for at least next year.
  • Member States could contribute to the funding. AT, IT, FI might be interested.
  • Decision: A steering group will not be set for the time being
  • JRC to create a mailing list for stakeholders and general announcements
  • JRC to set up the Github space (https://github.com/ec-jrc/re3gistry) for collecting requirements, feature proposal and sharing roadmaps for next releases
  • Web-conferences will be set on request/on needs based
  • Webinars should be organised to present the new versions, features, etc. These could be done also at physical events such as the INSPIRE Conference, FOSS4G, ISA2, etc.
  • A 'Feedback button' should be included directly in the INSPIRE Registry website.
  • Action JRC: To ask the IT services if the code can be shared although still in development
  • SK suggests to investigate commonalities and possible synergies between the development of the validator, geoportal and the registry
Wrap-up and conclusions

  • Under the Structure tab, when adding a field, the 'Save' button should be placed under the bar, instead of being next to the bar and having the button 'Create new field' under the bar. By instinct, after creating a field we click the button 'Create a new field' instead of the button 'Save'.
Change request

  • Check which fields are mandatory, sometimes it was noticed that the asterisk icon is not shown;
