INSPIRE is based on the infrastructures for spatial information established and operated by the 27 Member States of the European Union. The Directive addresses 34 spatial data themes needed for environmental applications, with key components specified through technical implementing rules. This makes INSPIRE a unique example of a legislative “regional” approach..
Legislation
Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) was published in the official Journal on the 25th April 2007. The INSPIRE Directive entered into force on the 15th May 2007.
To ensure that the spatial data infrastructures of the Member States are compatible and usable in a Community and transboundary context, the Directive requires that common Implementing Rules (IR) are adopted in a number of specific areas (Metadata, Data Specifications, Network Services, Data and Service Sharing and Monitoring and Reporting).
Transposition of the directive 2007/2/EC in Slovak Republic is the Act no. 3/2010 Coll. on the National Spatial Information Infrastructure (NIPI), as amended.
Slovak Road Administration / Road Databank is responsible for data of road transport network (Act no. 3/2010 Coll., Annex 1, spatial information theme I).
INSPIRE view service is implemented as OGC standard WMS (Web Map Service).
Supported versions of OGC WMS services: WMS 1.3.0, WMS 1.1.1

INSPIRE Discovery Service is an application providing a web service as specified in OGC CSW v2.0.2 and INSPIRE Network Services Implementing Regulations. It allows to publish and search for published descriptive information (metadata) about spatial data and services
INSPIRE Discovery Service is available at Spatial Data Registry.
