INSPIRE is a European initiative for the establishment of a European spatial data infrastructure. Among other components, INSPIRE introduces standards for thematic spatial data. Java4inspire is a java library to handle INSPIRE data as java objects. The target audience are all GIS java programmers looking for an easy access to INSPIRE data. These users may be: - spatial data producers: Java4inspire may be used to transform existing spatial datasets into INSPIRE compliant datasets (the module eurostat2inspire shows an example for the EUROSTAT datasets, like NUTS and Urban Audit). Java4inspire provides tools to import external data as java objects, transform them according to the target INSPIRE specifications, and encode them in INSPIRE GML files. - spatial data users: Java4inspire provides an easy way to parse INSPIRE GML object into java object and manipulate them with the common GIS java libraries. It uses binding classes representing INSPIRE feature types automatically built with JAXB.
