Fermi The EC has a long history of promoting open access to public data across Europe, breaking down electronic barriers at national borders through the creation of common data and service models, as well as through the provision of accompanying legislation facilitating such endeavours. The INSPIRE Directive has been a core building block in this work, which has been further elaborated within the “European Union Location Framework (EULF)” and “A Reusable INSPIRE Reference Platform (ARe3NA)”. The API4INSPIRE project investigated new developments in geospatial standards and technologies, foremost the new OGC API – Features and SensorThings API standards, together with the outcomes of the INSPIRE MIG Action 2017.2 on alternative encodings for INSPIRE data, evaluating their suitability for use in the European spatial data landscape described above. For this purpose, an evaluation strategy was developed to determine how these new and emerging standards can best be utilized to leverage existing investments by EU Member States in INSPIRE implementation, as well as supporting new developments in e-Government and the Digital Single Market. The evaluation focused on various facets of usability ranging from the configuration and deployment aspects of service deployment to ease of uptake of the API, and included a wide range of stakeholders within the evaluation process. The outcomes of this investigation were analysed, relevant guidance materials were created based on insights gained, and were widely disseminated to interested stakeholders. In addition, various Open Source software solutions as well as extensions were developed where gaps were identified.
