INSPIRE Technical Guidelines, Implementation in the Member States
Metadata expertise: 
Knowledge of INSPIRE metadata requirements and guidance gained from delivering 1Spatial-organised INSPIRE Training with Rob Walker and Robin Waters; involvement with Digital National Framework and its work towards the development of GEMINI2 standard. Knowledge applied in data discovery workshops with INSPIRE LMOs and also in non-INSPIRE scenarios with commercial companies seeking to improve their data management practices.
Network services and spatial data services: 
VIEW SERVICES, Implementation in the Member States, INSPIRE Technical Guidelines, Invoke services & spatial data services, Download Services, DISCOVERY SERVICES
Networking Expertise: 
INSPIRE applications and software components Expertise: 
Thematic knowledge related to one or more INSPIRE themes: 
Land cover, Coordinate reference systems, Protected sites, Hydrography, Transport networks, Administrative units, Addresses, Cadastral parcels
Thematic knowledge related to one or more INSPIRE themes Expertise: 
Extensive knowledge of most Annex I themes gained from working with NMCAs and central government agencies over many years and specifically working with some of them on INSPIRE related projects over the past 5-6 years. Experience gained, and general data modelling and analysis skills, is readily applicable to Annex III themes, so that I might easily work with local data experts to assess obligations and conceptual/logical data mappings to assist in transformation, harmonisation and data quality with respect to many of the themes in Annex I and III.
Cross-cutting technical issues and INSPIRE architecture Expertise: 
Data and service sharing: 
Implementation in the Member States
Data and service sharing Expertise: 
General knowledge of need for organisations to collaborate to have workable poilicies in place to achieve optimal data sharing practices.
Monitoring and reporting Expertise:

Interoperability Expertise: 
Knowledge of interoperability requirements and guidance gained from 20 years in spatial data industry, formal software engineering training and several INSPIRE specific projects since 2008. Annex I data specification consultation and transformation testing, with CP, HY, TN and PS data with several LMOs. Extensive work on AU, HY and TN data themes in relation to transformation, data quality, edge-matching, generalisation and identifier management, as part of the EU consortium based ESDIN project.
