Implementation of INSPIRE Schema Transformation Service.

This paper studies three different approaches for the implementation of INSPIRE Schema Transformation Service. The first approach uses WPS interface for serving a custom-built transformer application relying on developed schema mapping language for defining the transformations. It performs the schema transformations on-the-fly and is implemented as an individual service. The other two approaches are based on different versions of the deegree WFS application and they use custom XSLT scripts for executing the schema transformations. First of these two approaches is incorporated inside an INSPIRE Download Service and it performs the transformations on-the-fly, whereas the other approach relies on off-line transformations and works as a Download Service that serves pre-transformed data.
