Dear Bianca,
Thank you very much for your post.
In fact, there is a lot of information which would be really useful to be compared and combined with INSPIRE data sets, as background geospatial layers.
But how to do it when there is no information about the spatial reference (scale, CRS and projection)?
The topic of INSPIRE-like data lacking information about the spatial reference (scale, CRS and projection) is in my view very interesting, since the INSPIRE Directive request always information about this reference.
Hope there is good discussion in this thread about this question.
And maybe someone is also able to help Bianca on guessing the parameters of the Lambert conformal conic projection for this specific map.
Dear Jordi,
2 paper discussions has been taken at the MIG-T meeting of April 2018. One on possible adoption of national CRS and the other one on Web mercator CRS ( widely used).
https://ies-svn.jrc.ec.europa.eu/projects/mig-inspire/wiki/MIG-T_meeting_48
The final conclusion could have been at the MIG the following : no change in the IR and TG, but well a registry of adopted CRS. Candidate CRS should be endorsed by the JRC. But I do not see any registry in that matter.
Sending you the discussion paper.
Kind regards
Nathalie
Dear Nathalie,
Many thanks for this accurate information.
I will check with JRC for any progress on the implementation of the INSPIRE CRSs Registry. This sould have been pushed by France (Member State that proposed it).
However, having had a look at the meeting minutes from April 2018, the possibility to use Web Mercator (e.g. Spherical Mercator Grid) as an additional grid system should have been developed and discussed using the good practice procedure. I guess that any progress on this matter is linked to the potential drafting of this good practice procedure.
All the best,
Jordi
Dear Nathalie,
New good practice candidates where presentented in the past 63rd MIG-T Meeting, but there was no trace of the good practice referenced above.
We should look for any progress on this matter in the future.
I find interesting to add EPSG: 3857 to the accepted CRS at least for visualisation purposes, since it is used by many aaplications nowadays.
All the best,
Jordi
