L'implementazione tecnica della Direttiva INSPIRE e del suo recepimento nazionale: l'approccio broker per la condivisione dei metadati

The brokering approach to support the implementation of
INSPIRE in Italy.
The National implementation of the INSPIRE Directive (Italian
Legislative Decree 32/2010) identifies ISPRA as the authority in
charge to progressively integrate environmental datasets in the
frame of the Italian Environmental Information System (developed by ISPRA) and through its Network, and Public (Regional)
Authorities are asked to make available to ISPRA the informative
elements (metadata) to ensure interoperability of environmental datasets and associated services. With the aim to fulfill what
stated above, ISPRA, in collaboration with CNR, implemented
a network of metadata catalogs on the basis of the System of
Systems model. Remote (Regional) resources are accessed by
a broker Catalog capable to expose and recognize different
standard interfaces and metadata models. Today, the network
collects more than 12000 metadata and services.
