The European Commission has issued an open call for tenders for the provision of technical guidance for the implementation of the INSPIRE transformation network service. The ‘network services’ are a series of capabilities under the Directive that datasets must be able to provide; these include: discover (so that datasets are searchable), view, download and transform. The transform services make it possible to transform the input dataset from one Coordinate Reference System (CRS) into another.

The deadline for submitting an offer is 19 August 2009. More detailed information on the call can be found at web.jrc.ec.europa.eu/.

INSPIRE, which stands for INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in the European community, is an EC Directive concerning the sharing and harmonisation of spatial datasets across Europe. Further information on INSPIRE can be found in the ITS Radar International INSPIRE Factsheet (April 2009).
