INSPIRE Registry helpdesk

The INSPIRE Registry instance based on the Re3gistry open source software was discontinued on 1 July 2026, as duly announced in this dicussion thread.

Currently, the content of the registries is migrated to EU Vocabularies, operated by the Publications Office of the European Union, preserving the URIs in order not to break existing implementations.

Please, consider that its human user interface is still transitional (based on ShowVoc), and will be fully integrated in EU Vocabularies by September 2026. Contact OP EU VOCABULARIES for any questions you may have on this regard.

This space is still meant to discuss and propose changes to the content aof the INSPIRE registry. Please follow our Code of Conduct anytime when you interact with the INSPIRE community in this space. Please familiarise yourself with the governance process before opening new issues.
