INSPIRE data models

The INSPIRE Implementing Rules on interoperability of spatial data sets and services  and the data specification guidance documents are based on the UML data models developed by the INSPIRE Thematic Working Groups. These data models are managed in a common UML repository, which also stores older revisions of the models.

This page makes different revisions of the INSPIRE UML models available in different formats and views (see below). Each of these revisions corresponds to a specific set of (draft or approved) Data Specification Technical Guidance (TG) documents and/or Implementing Rules.

    Feature catalogue
Informative overview of the spatial object types and data types defined in the INSPIRE data specifications, which provides an easy entry point to the INSPIRE data models and data specifications for implementers and decision makers.
  HTML view of UML models
An interactive HTML view of the complete UML data models. This view includes detailed definitions of spatial object types, data types, enumerations and code lists and UML class diagrams.
  UML models for Enterprise Architect (EAP, XMI)
Zip archive containing the INSPIRE UML models as an EA project file and XMI exports. These can be used by developers for importing the INSPIRE data models in Enterprise Architect (EA) (or other UML modeling tools). 
 
  GML application schemas and code list dictionaries
The GML application schemas (xml schema documents) and code list dictionaries generated from the UML application schemas based on the default encoding rule (see Guidelines for the Encoding of Spatial Data, D2.7). 
Schema repository
The GML application schemas are also available through the INSPIRE schema repository at http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/  (Approved schemas) or http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/draft-schemas/(Draft schemas).
