Sandre’s mission is to build and make available the French WIS’s water reference data sets. These reference datasets are made up of free-of-charge technical specifications and code lists and describe how to exchange water data at the scale of France. From an IT perspective, Sandre guarantees interoperability between the French water information systems.
Regulations
The National Scheme of Water Data (SNDE), supplemented by technical documents including those of SANDRE, must be respected by all contributors to the Water Information System (WIS), in accordance with Decree No. 2009-1543 of 11 December 2009. The state establishes which elements of the data repository must be used for applying the regulations, and the conditions of their use.
Organization
SANDRE comprises a network of organizations that contribute their business knowledge to the WIS, participate in the administration of the reference system and ensure the coherence of the whole. SANDRE has data administrators within the WIS contributing agencies. Led by the French Agency for Biodiversity (AFB), the network relies on the SANDRE Technical Secretariat provided by the International Office for Water (OIEau) which has driven, developed and made available the standard since its inception.
Composition of the repository
The Sandre Repository is a set of specification documents, reference datasets and freely distributed services namely: data dictionaries, exchange scenarios, administration documents, reference datasets, and assistance services.
