Create the INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download Service—ArcGIS for INSPIRE

Input files for INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download Service

You can create an INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download Service based on ATOM implementation of technical guidance for the implementation of INSPIRE Download services version 3.1.

To enable the INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download service, the following input files are required:

Service ATOM file—The top level service ATOM file that contains links to the dataset ATOM file or files. Links to each dataset ATOM file will be a separate entry. An example is provided below.
Dataset ATOM file—This file contains links to the dataset or datasets. It can have multiple entries within the file for the dataset, and each entry represents a CRS and data format combination for the dataset. An example is provided below.
OpenSearch descriptor file—This file defines the OpenSearch operations for the ATOM-based INSPIRE Download service that includes: q, free text parameter search, describe spatial dataset, and get spatial dataset operation. An example is provided below.

The input files must be stored in an accessible folder. The user enabling and configuring the INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download service must have write access privileges on the ArcGIS for Server output folder (for example, C:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgisforinspire).

Multiple service and dataset ATOM files can be created to support multiple languages in one single service. The mutual links across those files need to be properly populated so that the correct content returns for language-specific operations. See the technical guidance for the implementation of download services available on the INSPIRE website for detailed descriptions regarding language specifications.

How to create INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download services

The INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download service can be enabled on any map service. It is recommended to enable this in combination with an INSPIRE View and/or Feature Download service. Follow the steps below:

Start ArcCatalog.
Select the service you want to add to the INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download service.
Right-click the service and click Service Properties.
Navigate to the Capabilities section and enable the INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download service.
Click INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download Service capabilities.
Click Choose Download service ATOM file, select the service ATOM file, and click Open.
Click OK. If there is an input file validation error, repeat these steps until the error is fixed.

Once the service restarts, the configured INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download service is exposed in the ArcGIS Server REST directory (for example http://servername:6080/arcgis/rest/services/<servicename>/MapServer/exts/InspirePredefinedDatasetDownload).

Samples

This section provides sample files for service and dataset ATOM, and OpenSearch descriptor.
