View Service Quality Testing according to INSPIRE Implementing Rules

摘要

A spatial data infrastructure is based on network services. A quantitative evaluation of the service quality should contain both server-side testing and client-side testing. Directive 2007/2/EC of the Council and the European Parliament establishes the legal framework for setting up and operating an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE) based on infrastructures for spatial information established and operated by the member states. Quality of services (QoS) according to the INSPIRE directive follows the three aspects - performance, capacity and availability of services [1]. For the purpose to meet QoS demands, even in the case of accesses as many users as possible, respectively sending the maximum number of requests, it is necessary to use monitoring tools to observe network status for the subsequent evaluation, performance analysis of network behavior at certain time and based on it to provide feedback to a management system [2].
