THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE
EUROPEAN UNION,
•..
• (3) The problems regarding the availability, quality, organisation,accessibility and sharing of spatial information are common to a largenumber of policy and information themes and are experienced across thevarious levels of public authority. Solving these problems requiresmeasures that address exchange, sharing[r1] , access and use ofinteroperable spatial data and spatial data services across the variouslevels of public authority and across different sectors. An infrastructurefor spatial information in the Community should therefore be established.
„ [r1]Sharing“ means Rights Management in the INSPIRE Context
INSPIRE Directive Requirements
• (6) The infrastructures for spatial information in the Member Statesshould be designed to ensure that spatial data are stored, madeavailable and maintained at the most appropriate level; that it is possibleto combine spatial data from different sources across the Community in aconsistent way and share [r1] them between several users andapplications; that it is possible for spatial data collected at one level ofpublic authority to be shared between other public authorities; that spatialdata are made available under conditions [r2] which do not unduly restricttheir extensive use; that it is easy to discover available spatial data, toevaluate their suitability for the purpose and to know the conditionsapplicable to their use.
 [r1]In a rights managed way (= legal way)
 [r2]License Conditions
INSPIRE Directive Requirements
•(9) This directive should not affect the existence orownership of public authorities' intellectual propertyrights[r1] .
• [r1]Means: IPR need to be managed in an individual waybetween owner and user.This directive does not overwrite fundamental IPR mechanisms.
INSPIRE Directive Requirements
•(12) This Directive should apply to spatial data held by or onbehalf of public authorities and to the use of spatial data bypublic authorities in the performance of their public tasks.Subject to certain conditions, however, it should also apply tospatial data held by natural or legal persons other than publicauthorities, provided that those natural or legal personsrequest this.[r1] 
• [r1]Private Sector can be integrated; IPR management with
•contracts do also include private sector (in opposite to pure law)
INSPIRE Directive Requirements
•(17) Network services are necessary for sharing spatial databetween the various levels of public authority in theCommunity. Those network services should make it possibleto discover, transform, view and download spatial data andto invoke spatial data and e-commerce [r1] services.
• [r1]Clear requirement
INSPIRE Directive Requirements
• (22) Public authorities need to have smooth access torelevant spatial data sets and services during the executionof their public tasks. Such access can be hindered if itdepends on individual ad hoc negotiations between publicauthorities every time access is required. Member Statesshould take the necessary measures to prevent suchpractical obstacles to the sharing of data, using for exampleprior agreements [r1] between public authorities.
• [r1]Key template concept, as used also for creative commons
INSPIRE Directive Requirements
•(25) …. the Community institutions and bodies frequentlyneed to integrate and assess spatial information from all theMember States, they should be able to gain access to anduse spatial data and spatial data services in accordance withharmonised conditions[r1] .

•Different roles are responsible for different sub phases toestablish or to maintain a contract (account) and to deliver(bind) the contracted product
•GeoRM offers identity, license, price & order and emergencyfunctions
•GeoRM offers for the sub phases components:
