The INSPIRE Geoportal (https://inspire-geop ortal.ec.europa.eu) constitutes its main component\, being the central poi nt of access to all datasets published by EU Member States falling under t he scope of the Directive. Using the INSPIRE Geoportal\, users can search for\, access\, visualize and download datasets published by more than 7000 data providers from across Europe.\nIn line with the open source strategy of the European Commission and the ambition towards a sustainable evoluti on of the INSPIRE infrastructure based on open source components\, since 2 021 the INSPIRE Geoportal is has been revamped by using cutting-edge\, ope n source applications and open standards\, while redesigning the way in wh ich information and services are offered to users. \nThe process comprises deep changes in the Geoportal backend\, totally renovating the underlying catalogue application: management interface\, powerful harvesting engine\ , set of metadata\, data and service linking tests\, search engine\, autom atic metadata translation capabilities\, containerization and deployment i n a cloud environment. In addition\, a new frontend (user interface) is in tegrated with the mentioned backend using APIs\, making both layers more i ndependent in terms of technological stack and update cycles. \nThe appli cation selected for achieving these goals is GeoNetwork opensource\, curre ntly constituting the catalogue choice of around 80% of Member States nati onal geospatial data portals in the EU. Since its inception in 2001\, it h as been developed with a strong focus on international standards and many new features have been added over the years.\nDuring the last year\, the G eoCat staff and the INSPIRE team at the European Commission’s Joint Rese arch Centre have closely collaborated in the development of a new powerful and versatile system for delivering the revamped INSPIRE Geoportal\, cont ributing the improvements – to the maximum possible extent – to the co re of GeoNetwork to maximize their exploitation by the geospatial communit y. \nMore in detail\, the system encompasses a high-performance harvesting system based on a microservices\, including link validation and reporting functionality. All these pieces have been developed as separate component s\, which can be scaled independently from other components within a GeoNe twork-based infrastructure. Performance and compliance to the INSPIRE Tech nical Guidelines formed part of the key requirements of the work. As a res ult\, GeoNetwork capabilities for supporting the INSPIRE Directive will be substantially improved and completed in the toolkit. This\, in turn\, wil l also improve the transparency and collaboration between the national aut horities and the European level.\nAt the end of this transitional phase fo r the INSPIRE Geoportal\, foreseen by mid-2022\, the project will deliver tangible benefits. Firstly\, by providing EU Member States with an up-to-d ate and transparent toolkit for managing their geospatial metadata\, data and services in compliance to the INSPIRE Directive monitoring and reporti ng obligations. Secondly\, by making a direct valuable contribution to the core of GeoNetwork and to the whole open source geospatial community.

Released under the Euro pean Union Public License (EUPL) v.1.2 (https://github.com/ec-jrc/re3gistr y)\, it is a key component ensuring interoperability in data infrastructur es.\nThe Re3gistry supports organizations in managing and updating “refe rence codes” through unique identifiers. Reference codes can be used for example to define sets of permissible values for a data field or to provi de a reference or context for the data being exchanged. Examples are enume rations\, controlled vocabularies\, taxonomies\, thesauri or simply ‘lis ts of things’. The Re3gistry provides a means to assign identifiers to s uch items and their labels\, definitions and descriptions in different lan guages. It provides a user-friendly interface where labels and description s for reference codes can be easily browsed by humans and retrieved by mac hines\, including the possibility of downloading them in different formats and exploiting the information using a REST API.\nThe European Commission ’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) started the development of the Re3gistry in 2014 to satisfy the interoperability requirements set by the INSPIRE Di rective. In 2020\, considering the high reusability of the tool beyond INS PIRE\, the JRC released the code as open source. So far\, the development of the Re3gistry has been supported by the European Commission under the i nteroperability actions ARE3NA and ELISE and\, more recently\, by the Nati onal Land Survey of Finland.\nIn 2021\, a second version of the Re3gistry software was released. This version v2.0\, complemented by subsequent mino r releases\, introduced several new features such as a management interfac e to add and modify the status of items\, and the capability to trace the full lifecycle of items following the workflow defined by ISO 19135 standa rd. The current stable release is v.2.3.0 released in March 2022. The INSP IRE registry (https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/registry) is currently the most popular implementation of the Re3gistry software. It is the central point of access to (currently) more than 7000 reference codes\, available in 23 languages and several formats (HTML\, ISO 19135 XML\, JSON\, RDF/XML\, Re 3gistry XML\, CSV)\, grouped into different centrally managed INSPIRE regi sters. The content of these registers is based on the INSPIRE Directive\, Implementing Rules and Technical Guidelines (as illustration\, used to ref erence INSPIRE themes\, code lists and application schemas). \nThe Re3gist ry is currently used by many organizations across European countries (Aust ria\, Finland\, France\, Italy\, Slovakia\, Spain\, The Netherlands and No rth Macedonia)\, different EU-funded projects and private organizations ev en outside Europe. Since 2021\, the Re3gistry v.2.x is included in the OSG eo Live to facilitate discovery and use by the open source geospatial comm unity. In 2022 the software will be also submitted as an OSGeo Community P roject. \nSumming up\, the Re3gistry is more relevant than ever to ensure semantical and organisational interoperability across any kind of systems\ , including Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs).
