IGN Spain and IGN France collaboration to set up cross border INSPIRE compliant services
Rodriguez, Antonio et al.
IGN Spain, as the body responsible for the coordination of the Spanish SDI, opened in 2004 the IDEE geoportal, a standard application enabling to access nine different types of OGC services. IGN France opened the viewer part of the geoportail.fr in June 2006. At the time, the viewer was only a lightweight 2D viewer. A year later, a viewer, using Virtual Globes technologies, has been released. Those viewers enable to freely navigate on orthophotos, maps, cadastre and other reference datasets covering the whole France, including overseas territories, with high availability and performance. French and Spanish NMAs are collaborating in the perspective of setting up seamless cross border services trying to fulfil the INSPIRE Implementing Rules taking into account their specific data policies and economic models.
