Key INSPIRE infrastructure components are being moved to EU services as
part of a wider effort to rationalise and streamline EU’s data infrastructure. An important milestone in this transition concerns the INSPIRE Registry. 

The INSPIRE infrastructure involves items which require clear descriptions and the possibility to be referenced through unique identifiers. Examples of such items include INSPIRE themes, code lists, application schemas or discovery services. Registers provide a means to assign identifiers to items and their labels, definitions and descriptions (in different languages). The INSPIRE Registry provides a central access point to a number of centrally managed INSPIRE registers. The content of these registers are based on the INSPIRE Directive, Implementing Rules and Technical Guidelines. 

As of 1 July 2026, the INSPIRE Registry is accessible here, securing continued access to controlled vocabularies, code lists and other semantic assets.
