Would it be nice if we would have standard specifications for reference data!

The idea is to build on members reference data process based on the idea of master database (urban, rural and remote areas) and then ExM based on databases at regional level (1:100 000-1:250 000). Regional level database would then be generalized to Global database 1:1000 000. NMCAs would provide reference data services providing administrative boundaries, hydro, transport, other topographic data, addresses, buildings, DEMS, Landcover, Geographical Names and Ortho based on ExM/INSPIRE specifications. EG would make a edge-matched database at regional level and global level covering Europe. These datasets would be connected to user datasets like ECRINS, Urban Atlas, Corine Land Cover, Point of Interests, Statistical (part of current EBM), commercial datasets like Teleatlas/Navtech roaddata. EG/NMCAs would provide common services for European Infrastructure like Edge-matching service (based on multiple representation boundary database), quality evaluation service, co-ordinate transformation service, view and download service, EGN+ address location service + number of registry services. INSPIRE Commission service + GMES Reference data sercvices would use the reference data services based on NMCAS for maintaining and updating their reference data. Commercial service integrators would provide data for mass-market applications.
The ‘!’ should be a ‘?’
‘ for’ the users is better than ‘to’ Add an ‘a’ between ‘example’ and ‘feature’
‘ Why should we care’ is better than ‘Why we should care’
