GOALS OF THE METADATA FOR THE PROJECT To allow discovery and use of datasets To provide a relevant and comprehensive description of NATURE-
SDIplus datasets: datasets from the nature conservation domain in the scope of the
INSPIRE directive. To give for data providers recommendations and guidelines to build an
INSPIRE compliant catalogue.
DATASETS INTO THE NATURE-SDIplus SCOPE Datasets concerned by the following INSPIRE themes:
Annex I: Protected Sites Annex III: Biogeographical region, Habitats and biotopes, Species
distributions
