1. Action 2016.4 Theme specific issues of data specifications &
exchange of implementation experiences in thematic domains
1.1 Introduction The INSPIRE Thematic Clusters on-line collaboration platform https://themes.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ was set up and
is developed and maintained with the objective of supporting INSPIRE implementation in the Member States.
All infrastructures, and INSPIRE is no exception, require maintenance and evolution. The experience gained
during the development of the Technical Guidelines as well as lessons learned by implementing the
infrastructure, especially in thematic domains, need to be shared to optimise performance of the infrastructure
to meet policy objectives and to increase its usability within thematic domains. To aid this further evolution of
INSPIRE and to help embed it in technical practices within a range of communities, on-line collaboration
thematic platforms have be set up for sharing theme-specific experiences.
The Thematic Clusters and their facilitators are:

From the INSPIRE TC overall content (Documents, discussions etc.) overview it can be deducted that the topics related to data encoding (322), data model/scope (342) are the most frequent. Follow up by the content classified as Best practice (329). This current distribution of stakeholder “interest” is in line with the INSPIRE MIWP 2016-2020 e.g. the new proposed MIWP Action on alternative encodings.
In addition, the numbers of best practices (329) or recommended implementation examples (133) are increasing demonstrating clearly the intensified progress in INSPIRE implementation.

1.2.2 Activity reporting
INSPIRE Conference 2017 Activity reports by TC facilitators:
Each facilitator is obliged to provide a report about the activity in the respected cluster over the past period (6-12 months). The facilitator's reports contain best practices, identified issues, recommendations and suggestions for improvements as published by users in Thematic Clusters collaborative platforms or provided directly by facilitators. The last Activity reports covering the 2016 period are available here:
Presentation of the Thematic clusters activities during the MIG-T face-to-
face meeting in Ispra 30-31/10/2017:
The INSPIRE TC activity based on the material received from facilitators was presented in a dedicated section. The new issue monitoring system was presented, as well as workflow for life cycle issue management. At the end an important theme specific upcoming events organised/participated by facilitators were highlighted.
