Abstract Test Suite for "Interoperable Spatial Data Services" as defined in the Technical Guidance for INSPIRE Spatial Data Services and services allowing spatial data services to be invoked.

Note: This ATS is in ready-for-review stage, none of the tests have an official INSPIRE MIG approval.

TG Requirement coverage

Based on requirement numbering in TG SDS.

Req#	Description	Covered by test(s)
6	Supported CRSes as a list	A.01.IR06.IR07.supported.crses.as.list
7	CRS identifiers	A.01.IR06.IR07.supported.crses.as.list
8	Indicate QoS for availability	A.02.IR08.extension.for.QoS.declared.availability OR A.06.IR08.DQ_ConceptualConsistency.for.QoS.declared.availability
9	Indicate QoS for performance	A.03.IR09.extension.for.QoS.declared.performance OR A.07.IR09.DQ_ConceptualConsistency.for.QoS.declared.performance
10	Indicate QoS for capacity	A.04.IR10.extension.for.QoS.declared.capacity OR A.08.IR10.DQ_ConceptualConsistency.for.QoS.declared.capacity
11	Provide "custodian" contact point	A.05.IR11.custodian.contact.point
12	Constraints for access and use	not automatically testable

Tests

The ATS for the "TG Conformance Class 2:Spatial data services compliant with interoperability arrangements" includes all the tests in the ATS for TG Conformance Class 1, Invocable SDS, and additionally the following tests:

Identifier	Status
A.01.IR06.IR07.supported.crses.as.list	ready for review
A.02.IR08.extension.for.QoS.declared.availability	ready for review
A.03.IR09.extension.for.QoS.declared.performance	ready for review
A.04.IR10.extension.for.QoS.declared.capacity	ready for review
A.05.IR11.custodian.contact.point	ready for review
A.09.IR01.SDS.SV_ServiceIdentification	ready for review

Tests (MIWP-8 alternative)

The ATS for the "TG Conformance Class 2:Spatial data services compliant with interoperability arrangements" according to the alternative option for the QoS reporting proposed by MIWP-8, includes all the tests in the ATS for TG Conformance Class 1, Invocable SDS, and additionally the following tests:

Identifier	Status
A.01.IR06.IR07.supported.crses.as.list	ready for review
A.06.IR08.DQ_ConceptualConsistency.for.QoS.declared.availability	ready for review
A.07.IR09.DQ_ConceptualConsistency.for.QoS.declared.performance	ready for review
A.08.IR10.DQ_ConceptualConsistency.for.QoS.declared.capacity	ready for review
A.05.IR11.custodian.contact.point	ready for review
A.10.IR01.DQ_DomainConsistency.report.for.classification	ready for review

Open issues

The extension to the ISO 19119 metadata class SV_ServiceIdentification is defined twice in TG SDS: in Annex A just the category as a mandatory property is added, and in Annex C just the qualityOfService mandatory property is added. This means that the neither of these extended classes can be used to fulfill both the requirements IR 1 and IR 8, IR 9 or IR 10 at the same time.
The XML Schema for the inspire_sds_gmd has not been published yet, so the XML Schema validation is not possible.
