Harmonization steps
1. Description of the source data structure – the exact description of
the source data enables better understanding of data and definition of the
transformation table. The description includes a scheme of data structure,
description of data formats, object types and Code lists or enumerations.
2. Data transformation – it is a main harmonisation process where data from
the original source structure is transformed into the target structure. The target data
structure is created on the basis of conceptual models. The transformation has two
levels – at first, the transformation of features has to be specified and then also
transformation of code lists or enumerations must be defined for each
transformed attribute. The transformation can be done through transformation tools
or directly through SQL query.
3. Publication – there are several ways how to publish the harmonised data
stored in the target structure. The Plan4all regions test the publication of the
harmonised spatial planning data in their own web map applications and also
provided the data through OGC web services WMS and WFS.
Source Data Description
Description of the source data
- General principle of the data management in regions
- Description of structures of the source data
- Translation of national terms
Data Transformation
Transformation methodes1. Transformation tools
2. Direct editing of database - SQL queries (used in Sumperk and Olomouc)
Data transformation process (HF example)
• The target structure has been established on the basis of LandUse conceptual data
model defined in WP4. Because this conceptual data model is not fully
corresponding to the source data structure, some modifications have been
proposed and only some of the fields have been used. The target database is
PostGIS.
• The transformation (harmonisation) scheme have been defined in two steps
• The scheme for attributes transformation
• The scheme for values transformation – comparison of enumerations of the
source and target data
• The target PostGIS tables have been filled on the basis of transformation
(harmonisation) schemes

Connection to INSPIRE
Plan4all project has been invited to participate in the testing of the
INSPIRE Annex II and III data specifications.
Plan4all joined to the INSPIRE testing team. Within the Plan4all wil be
tested the INSPIRE themes:
- Land Cover
- Land Use
- Natural Risk Zones
Plan4all conceptual data models will be replaced by INSPIRE
data specifications
=> the present experience with tests on conceptual models will be
re-used in following INSPIRE tests
