This repository gathers best practices for GeoPackage encodings of INSPIRE datasets. The issue tracker serves as a place to discuss all kinds of issues with GeoPackage files and the GeoPackage specification.
Contributions to this repository supported the proposed Good Practice for the GeoPackage encoding of INSPIRE datasets, whose specifications are made available here.
On the 63rd MIG-T meeting, it was decided to establish an ad-hoc group to facilitate discussions on GeoPackage encodings and to support the development of a proposal for the GeoPackage encoding of INSPIRE datasets as a candidate Good Practice - see the minutes of that meeting.
On the 69th MIG-T meeting, the "GeoPackage encoding of INSPIRE datasets" was accepted as good practice candidate. The initiation fiche is available here.
Following the procedure for proposing and endorsing good practices, a GeoPackage and implementation practice outreach webinar was held on October 27, 2022. Links to webinar recording and presentations can be found here.
On the 16th back to back MIG and MIG-T meeting on 24 and 25 November 2022, the "GeoPackage encoding of INSPIRE datasets" was unanimously endorsed as INSPIRE Good Practice - see the minutes of that meeting.
The work done here is related to what has been done on alternative encodings, see https://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/2017.2.
Some examples of GeoPackage files that are currently provided by member states are listed on this page.
