Directory for current release of INSPIRE schemas under https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/index.html #198

Hello,

We had problems and breakdowns with our services after the last INSPIRE schema updates (2024.1 and 2024.2). The services affected were those that reference schemas that have been changed under the current URL, e.g. PLU and GE-CORE.

We are currently considering referencing the versioned schemas in order to have stable XSD versions. For example, https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/2024.1/ge-core/4.0/GeologyCore.xsd would then be referenced instead of https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/ge-core/4.0/GeologyCore.xsd. Unfortunately, there is no versioned directory for the current release (2024.2) where the schemas are stored unchanged. This is quite common for other software products.

Is such a directory planned? That would make things a lot easier for us.

I would also be interested to know whether there have been problems elsewhere and whether there is also a need for this elsewhere.

Best regards Antje

Dear @KnorrAn,

thank you for your question.

We didn't plan to create a versioned directory to store the official schemas in addition to the main directory.

We will review this internally and get back to you.

In the meantime, any further feedback would be more than welcome.
