Abstract

This paper studies three different approaches for the implementation of INSPIRE Schema Transformation Service. The first approach uses a WPS application for serving a custom-built transformer application that uses a custom-built schema mapping language for defining the transformations. It performs the schema transformations on-the-fly and it is implemented as an individual service. The other two approaches are based on different versions of the deegree WFS application and they use custom XSLT scripts for executing the schema transformations. One of these approaches is incorporated inside a Download Service and it performs the transformations on-the-fly, whereas the other approach relies on off-line transformations and works as a Download Service that serves the pre-transformed data.
