Introduction to location data interoperability course for technicians

The course introduces technicians and job seekers to the technical concepts and implications of location data interoperability. It will allow to analyse the impact of the implementation of INSPIRE requirements and recommendations on the SDI components (metadata, data and services). It will also explain how to comply to High Value Datasets Regulation, to be aligned to the FAIR data management principles and to tackle the data space challenges. At the end of the course, the participants will learn how to apply the main GI standards and good practices enabling location data interoperability.
