Inspire Directive Master Classes

The EU INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament seeks to establish an 'Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community' (INSPIRE). The INSPIRE Directive entered into force on the 15th May 2007 and sets out a range of requirements as regards standardisation and publication of geographical datasets and associated datasets descriptions (metadata) across the European Union.

In order to support clients through the challenging compliance tasks and in sorting out what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, and how, Compass provide Master Classes. These customisable master classes deal with your INSPIRE concerns, and also those relating to the Re-Use of Public Sector Information Directive.
