INSPIRE findings
The INSPIRE community has described an approach to provide INSPIRE Download services using OGC API Features. This document reviews this approach for various products used in the testbed.
Similar to Atom the Main principles of the approach indicate to set up a single api endpoint for this dataset. Both GeoServer and LDProxy offer capabilitiy to set up multiple endpoint within a single service, for pygeoapi we have to set up a new service.
