Notes on MDi1.1 and MDi1.2 evaluation

The evaluation of these indicators involves a validation of the collected metadata through the Reference Validator (v2020.3).

In case of a metadata document aligned with the INSPIRE MD TG v2.0:

  • if the recognized INSPIRE Resource Type is "dataset" or "series" the applied executable test suite is "Conformance Class 2b: INSPIRE data sets and data set series metadata for Monitoring".
  • if the recognized INSPIRE Resource Type is "service" the applied executable test suite is:
    • "Conformance Class 4: INSPIRE Network Services metadata", if the service is a Network Service (service type equal to "view", "download", "discovery" or "transformation")
    • "Conformance Class 5: INSPIRE Invocable Spatial Data Services metadata", if the service is an Invocable Spatial Data Service (service type equal to "other")
