Use the INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download Service

After creating the INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download Service, there are multiple methods for accessing and using the INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download Service:

Use it through the REST page

The INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download Service includes a REST client for Atom services by default. The REST client can be accessed from a web browser at http://<server name>:6080/arcgis/rest/services/<service name>/MapServer/exts/InspirePredefinedDatasetDownload. The following methods can be used to access the Predefined Dataset Download Service through the REST client:

  • Click downloadServiceAtom to display a list of service Atom files associated with the service. Click the service Atom file links to display a list of dataset Atom files. Click the dataset Atom files to display a list of datasets. Click a dataset link to access the download URL for the dataset.
  • Click datasetAtom link to display a list of dataset Atom files. Click the dataset Atom files to display a list of datasets. Click a dataset link to access the download URL for the dataset.
  • Click OpenSearch to display the OpenSearch interface. Use the following search methods to locate a service:
    • q parameter search—Use the q parameter option to search the title elements and return matching results.
    • Describe spatial dataset operation—Provide the spatial_dataset_identifier_code, spatial_dataset_identifier_name_space, and language to return results with matching values in the service Atom files. The q parameter is not required for the describe spatial dataset operation.
    • Get spatial dataset—In addition to the parameters above, you will also need to provide the CRS (for example, http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/4258) and format (for eample, application/x-filegdb) to search service Atom files and dataset Atom files and return dataset download links. The q parameter is not required for the describe spatial dataset operation.

Use it directly through a URL

The INSPIRE Predefined Dataset Download Service can be used directly through a URL. Use the following URL examples to locate a service using OpenSearch:

  • q parameter search—Use the following URL sample to search the title elements and return matching results using the q parameter:

    http://<server name>:6080/arcgis/rest/services/<service name>/MapServer/exts/InspirePredefinedDatasetDownload/OpenSearch?q=<keyword>

  • Describe spatial dataset operation—Use the following URL sample to search using the spatial_dataset_identifier_code, spatial_dataset_identifier_name_space, and language to return results with matching values in the service Atom files:

    http://<server name>/arcgis/rest/services/<service name>/MapServer/exts/InspirePredefinedDatasetDownload/OpenSearch?spatial_dataset_identifier_code=<code name>&spatial_dataset_identifier_namespace=<name space>&language=<language code>

  • Get spatial dataset—Use the following URL sample to search service Atom files and dataset Atom files and return dataset download links:

    http://servername/arcgis/rest/services/servicename/MapServer/exts/InspirePredefinedDatasetDownload/OpenSearch?spatial_dataset_identifier_code=codename&spatial_dataset_identifier_namespace=namespace&crs=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opengis.net%2Fdef%2Fcrs%2FEPSG%2F0%2F4258&language=en&type=application%2Fx-filegdb

There are many other clients that support OpenSearch Atom feeds. To use the Atom service with those clients, you may need to register the service with the OpenSearch interface of the clients' web browser and use it following the instruction available with those clients.
