(Text with EEA relevance)

(Test b’relevanza għaż-ŻEE)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

IL-KUMMISSJONI TAL-KOMUNITAJIET EWROPEJ

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Wara li kkunsidrat it-Trattat li jistabbilixxi l-Komunità Ewropea,

Having regard to Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (Inspire) [1], and in particular Article 5(4) thereof,

Wara li kkunsidrat id-Direttiva 2007/2/KE tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill ta’ l- 14 ta’ Marzu 2007 li tistabbilixxi Infrastruttura għall-Informazzjoni Ġeografika fil-Komunità Ewropea (INSPIRE) [1], u b’mod partikolari l-Artikolu 5(4) tiegħu,

Whereas:

Billi:

(1) Directive 2007/2/EC lays down general rules for the establishment of the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community. Since, for the proper functioning of that infrastructure, it is necessary for a user to be able to find spatial data sets and services and to establish whether they may be used and for what purpose, Member States should provide descriptions in the form of metadata for those spatial data sets and services. Since such metadata should be compatible and usable in a Community and trans-boundary context, it is necessary to lay down rules concerning the metadata used to describe the spatial data sets and services corresponding to the themes listed in Annexes I, II and III to Directive 2007/2/EC.

(1) Id-Direttiva 2007/2/KE tistabbilixxi regoli ġenerali għat-twaqqif ta’ infrastruttura għall-Informazzjoni Ġeografika fil-Komunità Ewropea. Billi għall-funzjonament xieraq ta’ dik l-infrastruttura, hemm bżonn li utent ikun jista’ jsib settijiet ta’ dejta u servizzi ġeografiċi u biex jistabbilixxi jekk jistgħux jintużaw u għal liema għan, l-Istati Membri għandhom jipprovdu deskrizzjonijiet fil-forma ta’ metadejta għal dawk is-settijiet ta’ dejta ġeografika u servizzi. Billi din il-metadejta għandha tkun kumpatibbli u utilizzabbli f’kuntest Komunitarju u transkonfinali, jeħtieġ li jiġu stabbiliti regoli dwar il-metadejta użata biex tiddeskrivi s-settijiet ta’ dejta ġeografika u servizzi li jikkorrespondu mat-temi elenkati fl-Anness I, II u III tad-Direttiva 2007/2/KE

(2) The definition of a set of metadata elements is necessary in order to allow identification of the information resource for which metadata is created, its classification and identification of its geographic location and temporal reference, quality and validity, conformity with implementing rules on the interoperability of spatial data sets and services, constraints related to access and use, and organisation responsible for the resource. Metadata elements related to the metadata record itself are also necessary to monitor that the metadata created are kept up to date, and for identifying the organisation responsible for the creation and maintenance of the metadata. This is the minimum set of metadata elements necessary to comply with Directive 2007/2/EC and does not preclude the possibility for organisations to document the information resources more extensively with additional elements derived from international standards or working practices in their community of interest. Nor does it preclude the possibility to adopt guidelines established and kept up to date by the Commission, in particular when it is necessary to ensure the interoperability of metadata.

(2) Hija meħtieġa d-definizzjoni ta’ sett ta’ elementi ta’ metadejta biex tkun tista’ tiġi identifikata r-riżorsa ta’ informazzjoni li għaliha nħolqot il-metadejta, il-klassifikazzjoni tagħha u l-identifikazzjoni tal-pożizzjoni ġeografika tagħha u r-referenza temporali, il-kwalità u l-validità, il-konformità mar-regoli ta’ implimentazzjoni fuq l-interoperabbiltà tas-settijiet ta’ dejta ġeografika u servizzi, restrizzjonijiet fuq l-aċċess u l-użu, u organizzazzjoni responsabbli għar-riżorsa. Huma meħtieġa wkoll elementi ta’ metadejta relatati mar-rekord tal-metadejta nnifsu biex isir monitoraġġ ħalli l-metadejta maħluqa tinżamm aġġornata, u biex tiġi identifikata l-organizzazzjoni responsabbli għall-ħolqien u ż-żamma tal-metadejta. Dan huwa s-sett minimu ta’ elementi ta’ metadejta meħtieġ biex jikkonforma mad-Direttiva 2007/2/KE u ma jipprekludix il-possibbilità għall-organizzazzjonijiet biex jiddokumentaw ir-riżorsi ta’ l-informazzjoni b’mod aktar estensiv b’elementi addizzjonali miġjubin minn standards internazzjonali jew prattiċi tax-xogħol fil-komunità tagħhom ta’ interess. Dan lanqas ma jipprekludi l-possibbilità li jiġu adottati linji gwida stabbiliti u miżmumin aġġornati mill-Kummissjoni, partikolarment meta jkun meħtieġ li tiġi żgurata l-interoperabbiltà tal-metadejta.

(3) Instructions are necessary for the validation of metadata in accordance with Directive 2007/2/EC with regard to the conditions and expected multiplicity of each metadata element, that is to say, whether values for each element are always to be expected in the metadata record, can occur only once, or can occur more than once.

(3) Huma meħtieġa struzzjonijiet għall-validazzjoni ta’ metadejta skond id-Direttiva 2007/2/KE fir-rigward tal-kundizzjonijiet u l-moltipliċità mistennija ta’ kull element ta’ metadejta, jiġifieri, jekk il-valuri għal kull element huma dejjem mistennija fir-rekord tal-metadejta, jew jistgħux jiġru darba, jew jiġru aktar minn darba.

(4) The value domain of each metadata element is necessary to ensure interoperability of metadata in a multilingual context and that value domain should be able to take the form of free text, dates, codes derived from international standards, such as language codes, keywords derived from controlled lists or thesauri, or character strings.

(4) Id-dominju tal-valuri ta’ kull element ta’ metadejta huwa meħtieġ biex tiġi żgurata l-interoperabbiltà tal-metadejta f’kuntest multilingwi u li dak id-dominju tal-valuri għandu jieħu l-forma ta’ test liberu, dati, kodiċijiet ġejjin minn standards internazzjonali, bħall-kodiċijiet ta’ lingwa, kliem ewlieni ġej minn listi kkontrollati jew teżawri, jew sekwenzi ta’ karattri.

(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 22 of Directive 2007/2/EC,

(5) Il-miżuri stabbiliti f’dan ir-Regolament huma skond l-opinjoni tal-Kumitat stabbilit mill-Artikolu 22 tad-Direttiva 2007/2/KE,

- 1..* ifisser li għandu jkun hemm ta’ l-anqas darba dan element f’sett ta’ riżultati,

- 0..1 indicates that the presence of the metadata element in a result set is conditional but can occur only once,

- 0..1 jindika li l-preżenza ta’ l-element ta’ metadejta f’sett ta’ riżultati hija kondizzjonali imma tista’ tiġri darba biss,

- 0..* indicates that the presence of the metadata element in a result set is conditional but the metadata element may occur once or more,

- 0..* jindika li l-preżenza ta’ l-element ta’ metadejta f’sett ta’ riżultati hija kondizzjonali imma l-element ta’ metadejta jista’ jiġri darba jew iżjed,

- when the multiplicity is 0..1 or 0..*, the condition defines when the metadata elements is mandated,

- meta l-moltipliċità hija 0..1 jew 0..*, il-kundizzjoni tiddefinixi meta l-elementi ta’ metadejta jkunu obbligatorji,

- the fourth column contains a conditional statement if the multiplicity of the element does not apply to all types of resources. All elements are mandatory in other circumstances.

- ir-raba’ kolonna fiha stqarrija kondizzjonali f’każ li l-moltipliċità ta’ l-element ma tapplikax għat-tipi kollha ta’ riżorsi. L-elementi kollha huma obbligatorji f’ċirkustanzi oħrajn.
