So far, no alignment has been provided between the ISO 19115 topic categories (see the INSPIRE Registry http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/codelist/TopicCategory) and EuroVoc.

 

GeoDCAT-AP Draft 7 does mention the following: The Publications Office of the EU has defined and published alignments between EuroVoc and other vocabularies, including those typically used in geospatial metadata – in particular, AGROVOC, GEMET, the INSPIRE themes and the INSPIRE feature concept dictionary. It is worth noting that the use of the INSPIRE themes is a legal obligation in INSPIRE metadata.
