Semantische Transformation im Kontext von INSPIRE: dargestellt am Beispiel der grenzüberschreitenden Bodenseeregion

The combination of distributed, heterogeneous spatial data across the borders of geographic information systems and countries is a prerequisite when dealing with cross-border spatial issues, e.g. in the planning or environmental domains. At European level, data sharing is to be be facilitated by establishing a spatial data infrastructure. The INSPIRE Directive, which was adopted for this purpose, requires the Member States to provide spatial data covering a range of themes compliant to uniform European data models so that they can be combined in a coherent way. Data providers (e.g. public authorities) face the challenge of converting data from their original data models into the INSPIRE data models using semantic
