Excellent piece on the #INSPIRE revision in the broader Environmental #omnibus Esp the sections 'first impact' and 'my view' by Thorsten Reitz of WeTransform. Right at the time when interoperability is crucial, for #dataspace , for digital sovereignty, and the Data Union strategy, key pieces of interoperability are thrown away, overcompensating for the all too rigid harmonisation rules we have now. #interop #datastrategy #gdds https://wetransform.to/news-and-events/european-spatial-data-infrastructures/
