The evaluation of these indicators involves a validation of the collected metadata through the INSPIRE Reference Validator (v2022.3).

All metadata records are validated against the Conformance Classes corresponding to the INSPIRE MD TG v2.0 :

• if the recognized INSPIRE Resource Type is "dataset" or "series", the applied executable test suites are "Conformance Class 2: INSPIRE data sets and data set series interoperability metadata" and "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")
