Full Application Schema•The Natura 2000 Standard Data Form is changing in 2010 (additions: Property, Management, …)•Some elements are incompletly described (there are missing fields)•Wrong use of annex III feature types (Habitats and Biotopes & SpeciesAggregationUnit)

•With the current schema it is not possible to report the Natura 2000 SDFs (SDF is more complex) •The Natura 2000 SDF cant be used to report on INSPIRE (different schema)

Wrong Schema: Conservation StatusMissing – Mistake in Schema

Current values for ‘IN_OUT’: I, OProposed changes in the new Standard Data Form:

Wrong Schema: Conservation Status and Representativity are characteristics

of a habitat in a certain site and not just characteristics of a certain habitat

I, O, B (IN, OUT, BOTH)

Database is used for both ‘PS’ and ‘GN’ datasets.

SDO_GEOMETRY is used to store the Geometry.

‘TEXT’ and ‘LANGUAGE’ are ESRI reserved words.

ORACLE field names and alias are max. 32 characters.


GML Creation

Go Publisher alows easyGo Publisher alows easy mapping of fields from an Oracle Spatial database against the XSD schema.

Go Publisher Community Edition has a known bug if more than oneif more than one cascading parent‐child relation exist.

Go Publisher Desktop need work‐around to compute the bounding box of all geometries.

We recommend use of Go P blisher Desktopbox of all geometries.

Difficult to understand the error messages.

Publisher Desktop.We wish to thank to the

Snowflake Team.


Debugging

Altova XML Spy was used for XML debugging and for XSD schema visualization in order to create the Oracle Database Model.Database Model.

Schemas used:

INSPIRE:ps:ProtectedSites.xsdgn:GeographicalNames.xsdbase: BaseTypes.xsdbase: BaseTypes.xsd

ISO/TC 211:gmd:citation.xsd


We did it !Both PS.xml and associated GN.xml were generated and validated against XSD schemas
