Registration

 

Unregistered user can register to the geoportal and gain access to other services. Registration page is available by clicking on the "Registration" button in the upper right part of the geoportal. The registration form is displayed where you must fill in the required fields in the red frame, enter verification code and confirm the agreement with the conditions of processing your personal data and click on "Register". After the registration is to the menu added an item MY, which includes tools for registered users.
 

Section MY is intended only for registered and logged users.

  • Includes sites designed for account management within the Geoportal.

  • Allows providers to manage their own data sets and services in the Geoportal.

  • Here providers can fulfill the legal obligation of monitoring.

 

Personal data

 

A currently logged in user can change their personal information for their user accounts. They can enter all required information and click on "Change" if they want to save changes, or simply navigate to another portal page (e.g. back to the previous page).

 

Mandatory information – red framed (if not filled).

Optional Information – grey framed.

Furthermore, in the right part of the page are provided information on the organization of the user with options to change the settings, as well as a list of user roles that are assigned to him, information about my inclusion in groups and information about my group including list of users in the group.

 

My organization
This functionality is accessible only to users in the role of provider.

After the user is authenticated as a provider, part of the information from the personal data about users organization is stored and managed in this section. Each provider can change information about his organization (except ID), the changes applies to all members of the group.

My role
This panel lists all the roles of the currently logged in user.

Registered users can get the role:

  • User - this is the role of each registered user to geo-portal, all users with this role can create their own compositions and store them privately to Geoportal and this role is necessary for the possibility of buying the data in e-shop.

  • Provider - this role may be obtained by any user after sending a verification request, this option is intended primarily for mandatory providers. A user with this role is authorized to create, store and publish metadata, map compositions and products in the e-shop.

My acknowledgement
Displays a list of groups to which the user is assigned.

Each authenticated user with the role of "provider" is by ID automatically assigned to the appropriate group, which is automatically displayed here. Membership in other groups is subject to the approval of the other members of the group with the role of provider and ID corresponding to that group.

My group
Groups can be managed by selected types of users (all besides the standard users and the EU).

Users can share metadata and monitoring within groups. Any registered user can become a member of the group (including the standard user), the user can therefore gain access to the data that are shared within the group. Selected types of users (besides the standard users and the EU) can manage the group, it means to insert and remove members of the group. This functionality allows users to share records within groups and is used mainly for the management of datasets, service, map composition and e-shop.

Information about the current inclusion of the user to the groups is indicated as a part of the user profile. For inclusion in the user group, contact the user of the group with administrator privileges (typically employee of a corresponding organization) and request access.

Members can manage the group: view, add and remove members of the group. Users can be added by clicking on the "Add User". Dialog appears, where the user can enter email address of the another user whom he wants to add. The system verifies whether the email address exists, adds it to the group and the information message is sent to this email address. Removing user is possible by clicking on the icon and the information message is sent to this user. The user cannot remove from the group himself.

Group member types:

- currently logged group member,

- member of the group with the same ID as the group and with provider role,

- member of the group, who has a different ID or does not have a role of provider.

 

Password

 

Page PASSWORD is used to change the login password to the user account. Enter the old password and then the new password twice. The system immediately sends the changed password to the user email address.

 

Discussion

 

The page "Discussion" serves registered users to communicate with the administrator of the Geoportal. This page contains a table "Discussions", where is an overview of all past discussions of the currently logged in user with the administrator. On the right side of the page is table for creation of new discussion topic.

 

Datasets

 

The page "Datasets" allows authorized providers to manage metadata records of datasets published on the National INSPIRE Geoportal. Providers, who do not have their own infrastructure for web map service creation based on their spatial data, may also apply on this page for creation of the services through the infrastructure of the National INSPIRE Geoportal.
 

My datasets metadata
Table "My Datasets Metadata" allows authorized users to create, store and manage metadata records of their datasets published on the National INSPIRE Geoportal.

Form "My Dataset Metadata" is used for entering your datasets metadata into the geoportal. All data in the must be provided with metadata. If you do not have metadata for your dataset you can create it by using the metadata editor.

Button "Create Metadata" on the top of the table "My Datasets Metadata" is used to create a new metadata record. It automatically opens a new window with a metadata editor. After saving the metadata record appears in this table.

"Selected records" - menu contains batch functions for setting parameters of selected records.

Harvested records - all records harvested from connected metadata catalogues are grayed out in the table and in the field "Author" is indicated "Harvested". These records can not be edited.

Metadata records created on the Geoportal - in the table are shown in black and on the right side of the table are icons for their management.

Each record contains buttons for setting its parameters:

  Edit - opens the metadata editor which allows you to edit the metadata record.

  - Publish - allows to public the metadata record (after publication of the metadata record the globe symbol is changed to gray).

  - Hide - allows to hide the metadata record (after hiding the metadata record the globe symbol is changed to green).

  - Share - sets the sharing rules for the metadata record in the groups of which the user is a member.

- Delete - irreversibly deletes the metadata record.

After selecting specific record a detail of the metadata record is shown in the bottom of the table. Icons PDF and XML in the metadata detail allows users to download metadata in appropriate format.

Data publication requests
On the right side of the page "My Datasets" is a form for data publication. This functionality is prepared for those mandatory data providers who do not have their own infrastructure for web map service publication. This form allows them to apply for creation of the services through the infrastructure of the National INSPIRE Geoportal.

The button "Upload Data" opens a new dialog with a form for data upload. The user is requested to fill in mandatory fields (in particular to select appropriate metadata record from the list) and then to select the data file from a local disk (compressed ZIP or RAR) and click on the button "Send to further processing". After uploading the data an information email is sent to the administrator of geoportal. Using button "Share" you can set visibility of request to other users in your groups.

Status of uploaded dataset:

New - status after dataset upload, an information email is sent to administrator.

In progress - dataset was downloaded by administrator, new map service with metadata record will be created.

Ready - map service and metadata record are created. User can view map service using button "Show in map". Created map service can be approved or refused by the user.

Refused - administrator will adjust the map service and the request is switched again to the status "Ready".

Approved - map service is ready for publication.

Published - map service is published. In section "My>Services" in panel "Hosted services" will appear new record for hosted map service.

Closed - map service is no longer published.

 

Services

 

The page "Services" allows authorized providers to manage metadata records of their services published on the National INSPIRE Geoportal. This page also offers an overview of hosted services on the National INSPIRE Geoportal infrastructure.
 

My services metadata
This table is used to enter and manage metadata of services in the geoportal. All services must be accompanied by metadata. This table has similar functionality as the table for datasets metadata management (see above).

In addition this table contains also:

"Register service (Create metadata)" - button at the top of the table "My Services" serves for the new service registration. It opens up a metadata editor where user can fill out the service metadata manually or by importing from file or URL. A record of the service is created in the table after saving its metadata.

- Harvesting setup - this icon is displayed next to the record when a CSW service (metadata catalog) is connected. By clicking on this icon a dialog for harvesting interval setting is displayed, an email address is also required (an information email about harvested items is sent to this address).

- Show in map - this icon is displayed if a proper link to GetCapabilities file of map service is given, allowes user to connect map service to the map window of the geoportal.

Hosted services
A table with list of hosted services serves to providers as an overview of all web map services, based on their data, created and run on the National INSPIRE Geoportal infrastructure.
In the right part of the page "My>Services" is a table with a list of "Hosted services" and their current status. These services are prepared from the data uploaded in the section "My>Datasets".

 

Maps

 

In the section "My>Maps" are displayed all map compositions created by currently loged in user or shared by another user from the same group.

 

My maps
Table "My Maps" allows registered users to create, store and manage map compositions on the National INSPIRE Geoportal.
This table provides similar functionality as the table in the section "My>Datasets" (see abovee). Map composition can be created in the map window of the geoportalMore information on map compositions can be found in the help section Maps "Creation of map compositions".

Publication requests
Table "Publication requests" serves to send a request to publish map compositions. All requests are approved by the Geoportal administrator.

In the right part of the section "My>Maps" is a list of map "Publication requests". Map composition can be published only by authenticated users in role of provider. Requests on map publication are managed in the table "My Maps" by a set of icons bellow:

- Publish - sends a request to the geoportal administrator, map composition is enlisted in the list "Publishing requests".

- Publishing of the record already requested - indicates the status that you have already requested map publication, the request can be canceled in the list "Publishing requests" on right side of the page.

- Hide - allows user to hide map composition to the public (not shown in the panel "Maps" next to the map window). To re-publish map composition user has to sent a new publication request.

 

Monitoring

 

Monitoring is an obligation under the Commission Decision 2009/442/ES. The content of this decision has been transposed into the Regulation 103/2010. In essence it is an inventory of spatial data and services provided within INSPIRE in the Czech Republic. Mandatory data providers must each year in the period from early January to late February submit the required indicators defined in Annex 2 of the Regulation 103/2010.

 

Creation of a new record (of the statement)

Description -  include a brief description of the statement (this information is optional).

Year - indicates the year for which the monitoring is/was provided.

Importovat - user can choose the option to import metadata from the options provided:

  • from metadata - if the currently logged in user has stored his metadata on geoportal, the system will automatically pre-fill the statement with these metadata (after selecting organization),

  • do not import - creates a clean record without importing data from metadata,

  • third option is to select one of the already existing published and accepted statements (if any) from which the new record will be automatically pre-filled.

Organizace - choose from a list of organizations (available only when importing records from metadata).

After confirmation a new record appears in the table "My monitoring".
