Joint Research Centre

The Mission… is to provide customer-driven scientific and technical support for the conception, development, implementation and monitoring of EU policies. As a service of the European Commission, the JRC functions as a reference centre of science and technology for the Union.

Close to the policy-making process, it serves the common interest of the Member States, while being independent of special interests, whether private or national.

The Vision…is to be a trusted provider of science-based policy options to EU policy makers to address key challenges facing our society, underpinned by internationally recognised research.

INSPIRE – a European Directive

EGU 2010 5


INSPIRE – a European Directive

General rules to establish an infrastructure for spatial information in Europe • Community environmental policies• Policies or activities which impact on the environment

To be based on SDIs established and operated by the Member States• INSPIRE is a distributed infrastructure

Does not require collection of new spatial data

Does not affect existing Intellectual Property Rights

Entry into force 15 May 2007EGU 2010 6


Spatial data - key requirement in the INSPIRE Directive

Article 7(1) requires:• „Implementing rules laying down technical

arrangements for the interoperability and, where practicable, harmonisation of spatial data sets and services, [...]“

EGU 2010 7


Thematic scope: spatial data themesAnnex I•Coordinate reference systems •Geographical grid systems•Geographical names•Administrative units•Addresses•Cadastral parcels•Transport networks•Hydrography•Protected sites

Annex II•Elevation•Land cover•Orthoimagery•Geology

Annex III

•Statistical units

•Buildings

•Soil

•Land use

•Human health and safety

•Utilities and government service

•Environmental monitoring facilities

•Production and industrial facilities

•Agricultural and aquaculture facilities

•Population distribution - demography

•Area management/ restriction/ regulation zones & reporting units

•Natural risk zones

•Atmospheric conditions

•Meteorological geographical features

•Oceanographic geographical features

•Sea regions

•Bio-geographical regions

•Habitats and biotopes

•Species distribution

•Energy resources

•Mineral resourcesEGU 2010 8


Data-related requirements – highlights

Provision of spatial data from 34 themes in an interoperable way• Consistent classification and geo-referencing of spatial data• Harmonised locations

For spatial objects of the Annex I & II themes also:• Identification• Key characteristics• Temporal aspects• Relationships between spatial objects• Updates

Feasibility, costs and benefits have to be considered

EGU 2010 9


Data-related requirements – highlights

Requires access to spatial data held by or on behalf of a public authority

Spatial data available in conformance between 2012-2017 (Annex I) or 2014-2019 (Annex II/III)• Dates are subject to changes depending on when the

implementing rule enters into force

EGU 2010 10


Interoperability of data – The starting point ...

user user

dataset dataset dataset

... ...

• Access to spatial data in various ways

• User has to deal with interpreting heterogeneous data in different formats, identify, extract and post-process the data he needs lack of interoperability

EGU 2010 11


Interoperability of data – ... and what INSPIRE is aiming at

... ...

NetworkService

NetworkService

NetworkService

• Provide access to spatial data via network services and according to a harmonised data specification to achieve interoperability of data

! Datasets used in Member States may stay as they are

! Data or service providers have to provide a transformation between their internal data model and the harmonised data specification

Why Data Specifications are Useful

Member States make available data within the scope of INSPIRE using• the same spatial object types (and definitions),

e.g. WaterBody, WatercourseNode, Wetland• the same attributes (and definitions, types, code lists) and relationships to

other types• a common encoding (GML application schemas)• common portrayal rules

This facilitates• pan-European/cross-border aggregation and analysis• application development (e.g. information systems, reporting systems,

forecasting models)

What level of harmonisation is „just right“?

Too simple:• requirements cannot

be supported• insufficient

harmonisation• few benefits

Too complex:• difficult to implement• substantial benefits

only available to few users

• high cost

Simple Complex

requires• an iterative process• well-established requirements• good understanding of the existing geographic information• testing and validation slide based on presentation by Doug Nebert

INSPIRE Process ( long one… -:) but needed ! Bottom-up Stakeholder Involvement

•Building consensus in expert groups–Orientation and Position papers of experts –Establishing the state-of-play

•Preparing the proposal -> A Framework Directive–Scoping policy measures with expert advice–Assessing the political and socio-economic impact–A public review of the proposed measures

•Adoption of the Framework Directive by the Commission•The proposal on the political agenda of the EU Presidency•Co-Decision Procedure by Council and Parliament•Adoption of the Framework Directive•Transposing the Framework Directive•Sharing data and implementing the infrastructure

Presentation Notes

The scope of this slide is not to explain all the phases in the development cycle, but rather that the stakehodlers have a central role in the development of the INSPIRE content. This slide is not essential and can be hidden.


INSPIRE’s participatory approach

To-date, 651 organizations are registered as INSPIRE stakeholders• Providing experts, reference material, projects• Participate in reviewing and testing of specifications• And learn from each other

INSPIRE contributes to global solutions• INSPIRE is EU contribution to Global Earth Observation System of

Systems (GEOSS)

INSPIRE stakeholders are international - examples• Australian Chief Government Geologists Committee• SDI Dominican Republic Project• DGIWG, link with NATO standards• EuroGeographics• WMO • OGC, ISO/TC 211 Geographic Information
