INSPIRE and WMS

The INSPIRE Directive (2007/2 / EC) and the Spatial Data Act (421/2009) and Regulation (725/2009) define standards for datasets and services. INSPIRE Network Services specify common interfaces for view and download services.

The Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) datasets and services corresponding to the themes listed in Annexes I, II and III have been implemented according to Technical Guidance for INSPIRE Download Services 3.1.

The metadata for the spatial data sets and services are kept up to date and in Syke metadata service and the national metadata portal.

Syke is replacing its ArcGIS Server web map services with GeoServer ones in 2023. Up to date URL’s for INSPIRE-services can be found in this page. Old URL’s beginning with https://paikkatieto.ymparisto.fi/arcgis can be used until the end of 2023.

INSPIRE WMS

Based on INSPIRE WMS (Web Map Service), generic client applications allow users to visualise INSPIRE data sets in interactive maps. The availability of the service and the response times are monitored.

WFS Services

WFS download services based on INSPIRE view services have been made, but these do not fulfill INSPIRE requirements.

If you plan to use Syke’s WFS services in an application, we recommend you request a unique identifier to be used in your applications WFS requests from Syke’s gis support gistuki[ät]syke.fi. By requesting the identifier you accept that your contact information will be stored according to Syke’s privacy policies. Privacy statement (in Finnish).
