This application may be used by INSPIRE data and service providers to emulate the checks executed by the INSPIRE Geoportal during its harvesting process. It reports potential issues, related to correctly established MD linkages among MS resources (Data set, View and Download services) identified during the harvesting, when the Geoportal is extracting and enriching the MD information found in the MS resources.

Main linkage aspects
Linkage Aspect | Result |
---|---|
Data Set metadata contains Unique Resource Identifier
The Unique Resource Identifier in the Data Set metadata was not found. Have you successfully validated this metadata with the INSPIRE Reference validator?

Data Set metadata contains INSPIRE Spatial Data Theme
The INSPIRE Spatial Data Theme keyword was not found. Have you successfully validated this metadata with the INSPIRE Reference validator?

The View Service has been contacted
The necessary resource locator (URL) of the service was not found in the provided View Service metadata, or the service was not reachable nor supported. Possible common issues are:

Linkage has been estabilished between the View Service and Data Set
The necessary match between the MD URI (described in the provided Data Set metadata) and at least one layer containing a valid metadata reference from the View service capabilities has not been found. This web application, by using the INSPIRE Geoportal backend web services, mimics a harvest and tries different approaches to retrieve and estabilish a logical link between the specified Data Set and Services. The current workflow consists in the following steps:
If you have fixed the issue and still encounter this missing aspect, please open an issue in the Geoportal Helpdesk |

The Download Service has been contacted
The necessary resource locator (URL) of the service was not found in the provided Download Service metadata, or the service was not reachable nor supported. Possible common issues are:

Linkage has been estabilished between the Download Service and Data Set
The necessary match between the dataset metadata URI and at least one metadata URI from the Download service capabilities has not been found. This web application, by using the INSPIRE Geoportal backend web services, mimics a harvest and tries different approaches to retrieve and estabilish a logical link between the specified Data Set and Services. For an ATOM-based service, the current workflow consists of the following steps:
For an WFS-based service, the workflow consists on the following process branches, executed in parallel:
