Our Solution for INSPIRE
Create compliant INSPIRE data with GO Publisher Desktop
If your organisation only needs to publish a small amount data to any of the Annex1, 2 or 3 themes then Snowflake Software’s GO Publisher Desktop enables you to meet the INSPIRE requirements utilising a low cost solution. Our entry level offering provides the most comprehensive and easy to use interface designed to simplify the creation of INSPIRE data themes from relational databases.
GO Publisher Desktop utilises our unique mapping and transformation engine, enabling users to create any number of INSPIRE data themes, without the need for software engineering or complex scripting languages such as XSLT. Desktop further increases productivity as it can “recognise” the schema, limiting potential mapping options – making time to compliance even quicker.
GO Publisher Desktop supports the transformation of data into any KML, GML 2, GML 3.1.1 and GML 3.2.1 application schema and enables you to test your readiness for INSPIRE by enabling you to:
Transform your data into any of the INSPIRE themes
Validate data against a theme’s GML Application Schema
Generate GML files for distribution via HTTP/FTP

Deploy INSPIRE Download Services with GO Publisher Web Feature Service (WFS)
To enable on-demand access, INSPIRE defines a data service based on the OGC Web Feature Service (WFS) standard. A ‘one-click’ deployment from GO Publisher Desktop, GO Publisher WFS reuses the transformation defined in Desktop to stream data across the internet in your target INSPIRE theme(s). GO Publisher WFS is a proven, enterprise-ready, OGC-compliant web feature service. Highly robust and scalable, GO Publisher WFS uses a unique streaming technology capable of supporting thousands of concurrent users and delivering megabytes of GML per second. GO Publisher WFS is the choice for INSPIRE on-demand data services and supports all the requirements (functions, operations and quality of service) stated within the INSPIRE Download and Transformation Services Implementing Rules, including:
- A description of the capabilities and spatial objects types available in the service
- Queries upon the data using spatial, temporal, logical, comparison and identifier operators
- Retrieval of spatial objects based on queries
- Access to the full metadata that describes the dataset and
- Ability to link the download service to Member States download services and INSPIRE

Deploy INSPIRE AdvancedDownload Services with GO Publisher Agent
In addition to on demand services, the INSPIRE directive defines a download or large volume data service. GO Publisher Agent is an enterprise data service capable of delivering large volumes of GML using a wide range of selection patterns. With an extensive Application Programming Interface (API), GO Publisher Agent can be easily integrated into a data ordering system. When transferring large data volumes become an issue GO Publisher Agent can divide each order into a number of manageable ‘chunks’. GO Publisher supports a range of criteria for ‘chunking’, dividing the data geographically, thematically or simply by file size.
