Scope
The generic conceptual model provides a framework
within which harmonised data specifications for
the spatial data themes listed in the Annexes of
the INSPIRE Directive will be developed. Within
scope are requirements and recommendations in
particular regarding the following aspects

• INSPIRE application schemas
• spatial and temporal representations of spatial
  objects across different levels of detail
• spatial and temporal relationships between
  spatial objects
• unique object identifiers
• constraints
• reference to common spatial and temporal
  reference systems
• controlled vocabularies
• support for multilingual aspects

Anvendelsområder
The Generic Conceptual Model is applicable for
INSPIRE data specifications. It is not required
that it will be applied for the modelling of data
specifications at the national level. What is
important is that each member state is able to
transform existing data sets to the INSPIRE data
specifications and publish the transformed data
via network services. On the other hand, this
conceptual model is expected to influence in many
cases the modelling activities at the national
level, because it adds value to the national
spatial data infrastructure and simplifies
transformation to the INSPIRE data
specifications.

Standard based approach
The Drafting Team has decided to follow as much
as possible a standards-based approach based on
the ISO 19100 series, based on the following
observations

• The recitals (16) and (28) of the Directive (see
  4.1.2) highlight the role of international
  standards for INSPIRE.
• The ISO 19100 series has undergone a consensus
  process that has already involved a large
  number of information communities.
• The analysis of the reference material (i.e. of
  data specification developments across
  information communities) indicates that many
  current data specification developments follow a
  standards-based approach.
• The recommendations in CEN/TR 15449 and the
  adoption of most international standards listed
  as a normative reference in this document by CEN
  indicate that the ISO 19100 series is considered
  sufficiently complete and mature to be used, for
  example, as the framework for the development of
  data specifications.
• Other non-European or global SDI approaches like,
  for example, the GSDI cookbook and the
  development of the Framework Data Content
  Standards in the United States also recommend or
  use the ISO 19100 series of International
  Standards at the conceptual foundation for
  developing data specifications.
• Since a common conceptual foundation for the
  development of the diverse data specifications is
  required in any case, a Europe-specific
  development would have been required to address
  the harmonisation requirements, if no
  international standards would be available for
  adoption.

Terminologi
(44) spatial object abstract representation of a
real-world phenomenon related to a specific
location or geographical area INSPIRE Directive
NOTE It should be noted that the term has a
different meaning in the ISO 19100 series. It is
also synonymous with "(geographic) feature" as
used in the ISO 19100 series. (17) feature

NOTE The term (geographic) feature as used in
the ISO 19100 series of International Standards
and in this document is synonymous with spatial
object as used in this document. Unfortunately
