DESCRIPTION:Since entering into force in May 2007\, the Directive 2007/2/EC
  of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing Infrastructure
  for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE directive) has been playing ve
 ry important role in building spatial information infrastructures – both
  pan-European and at national level. Technical specifications and guidelin
 es describe the key components of data content and of implementation of we
 b services. However\, each country decides individually how technically it
  will implement these requirements\, what architecture and software it wil
 l choose to use. The roadmap of directive implementation has reached the l
 ast milestone in 21/10/2020 – all spatial data sets had to be provided t
 o the INSPIRE geoportal ((https://inspire-geoportal.ec.europa.eu/). Now is
  the best time to share the experience how Lithuania started INSPIRE imple
 mentation path using commercial software but successfully ended with using
  only FOSS4G.\n\nImplementation of INSPIRE directive in Lithuania is centr
 alized and state enterprise GIS-Centras is responsible for technical work.
  INSPIRE directive was implemented in 2 stages. The first stage started ba
 ck in 2012 and it was dedicated to cover data sets from Annex I and Annex 
 II (only orthophoto imagery). Back then the INSPIRE directive implementati
 on was a new and little-known technical challenge. The decision to call a 
 tender and use the commercial software for which there were not many viabl
 e alternatives at the time seemed quite logical. \n\nThe second stage of I
 NSPIRE directive implementation started in 2018 and ended up in 2021. This
  stage was dedicated to cover data sets from Annex III and part of Annex I
 I. Instead of just calling a tender to implement the requirements with com
 mercial software we already had we decided to implement everything by ours
 elves and change the commercial software to FOSS4G. At the end of the proj
 ect\, we have not only prepared and published all the datasets and service
 s\, but also had a team of in-house specialists who were able to work with
  the FOSS4G. Even the results from the first stage was quickly changed to 
 FOSS4G in order to unify the implementation architecture.\n\nWe have set t
 hree goals for the transition from commercial software to FOSS4G:\n1. Crea
 te a system that we can administer and develop ourselves\;\n2. Create infr
 astructure that is cost-effective in the long run\;\n3. Automate the workf
 low as much as possible.\n\nIn this presentation we will share our experie
 nce of transition from commercial software to FOSS4G both from technologic
 al and company/team perspectives. We will present the technological archit
 ecture we use to implement INSPIRE requirements. It consist of PostGIS\, G
 eoserver\, QGIS\, Hale studio\, GDAL and Geonetwork. Finally we will expla
 in what we have learn as a company and GIS specialists during the transiti
 on process.
