7.2 / Page 39 / ge / This section don´t have an example of searching / Include a image of searching / Ok
Annex A / Page 40 / ge / This section don´t include an example of RDF about “Codelist Value” . Acording the figure 1 of the document: “The INSPIRE codelist register is a hierarchical register, which contains code lists as its items”
Then, in this section include examples of Registry and the register but is not include an example of “an item of code list” / Review the examples and include an example for “an item of Code list” / The RoR needs only the Descriptors for the registry and registers.
The items are not stored in the RoR but only in the search index.
Annex A / Page 40 / ge / The examples include are in RDF format but in the “Best Practice 6 (page 17include that “the central INSPIRE registry provides register in multiple formats, including (custom and ISO 19135) XML, RDF/XML, JSON, ATOM and CSV)
In the document doesn’t include information where is possible to view examples for these formats : JSON, ATOM,CSV,…) / Would be possible include an URL of a page where is possible to view examples for this formats :JSON, ATOM,CSV? / This is out of scope: the formats can be seen on the INSPIRE registry website

ge / It’s very important to explain in this document when it is necessary to installRe3gistry software in a country to publish the National Register orif the ROR could to play this roleand then it is not necessary to install this software.
The document is not clear in this aspect / Add a sub-section( 4.4) in the Chapter “Registers and Registries” whose title could be “Registers in Member State” where we explain when it would be recommendable to install a registry with the Re3gistry software and when the Inspire Registry could complain this function,
It`s very important to explain if there is any alternative to that member countries can register their code lists (or other items) in a centralized registry at European level without having to implement a own registry with the Re3gistry / This is already explained in section 4.2: “Typically, software packages or online services will be used for managing registers according to these guidelines / best practices. Some examples are listed in Annex D.”
We have added the following note: “NOTETo our knowledge, there is currently no centralised service at European level that can be used for managing MS registers.”
Annex D / Page 53 / ge / In this section only include a reference to “Re3gistry software” however this sub-group has installed and tested the Re3gistry software.
This Guidelines should included a simple explanation to install and configures this software to guide to Member State in this task / Out of scope: this is related to the specific software installation.
There is the related guide here.

4 / 13 / Just a proposal, to add a specific example. (proposed inline in the document) / To be discussed in the Comment Resolution meeting.
4.3 / 21 / My feeling is, that an additional specific use case or example of extension would underline this abstract and fully correct re-use. If you need an example please contact. / Do you mean additional examples to the extension and sub-set examples already included?
4.3 / 21 / Update the figure: change the “Extension” with the inner ellipse in light color / Ok
5.1 / 23 / is it really limited on MS, e.g. CSIRO will be not able to provide their vocab service into RoR? or just an expression / In theory yes. CSIRO could be considered as a thematic community. It will then be up to the control body of the RoR to decide whether to accept them in or not.
This raises the interesting point, how much control there should be for the RoR and who should be in the control body.
5.3 / 26 / Both figures above are very nice and drafting the general view of a RoR. But the RoR is tailored for the INSPIRE environment, I think it would be quite helpful a) adapt the layout according figures above, b) INSPIRE Register (for reg1) should be mentioned here. / We think it is better to keep them generic.
7.1 / 39 / [Michael Noren: “use case” (also in 7.2), a minor thing, but it perhaps draws more on why something was made than this document’s task to explain how to use it? So maybe it should be “Browse the federation content” or similar.]
In general chpt. 7 is ok. But I would like to underpin [MN13] It would be very helpful to have a real use case for INSPIRE implementation / transformation for a data set. How to use an INSPIRE Code list value, when it is allowed to apply my national extended code list value. It covers also a question – can I reached my conformance test according ATS while transformation into INSPIRE? / We think this is slightly out of scope and more related to the study on extension patterns. but maybe we could add this as an annex? – to be discussed

Andreas von Doemming

4.3 / 20 / In Figure 2 "Extension", the inner ellipse should be shown in light blue. / OK
5.3 / 26 / Register Descripter URI should be required. / OK
6 / 28 / Question: Can harvesting be processed without the information provided by the “content” conformance class? / Yes. But the harvesting will only include the register “metadata”
6.1.1 / 31 / It looks like the URI is not resolvable (I got HTTP 404), is the URI correct? Is it possible to link a page with the available codes (URIs). / Correct. This is a known issue, and we have contacted the OP about this. As far as we know, it is in the planning for a future release of the authority tables.
