The SEIS principles are basis for EEA‘s SDI work Data and information are: • Managed as close as possible to its source. • Collected once, and shared with others for many purposes. • Readily available to easily fulfil reporting obligations. • Easily accessible to all users. • Accessible to enable comparisons at the appropriate geographical

scale, and citizen participation. • Fully available to the general public, and at the national level in the

relevant national language(s). • Supported through common, free open software standards.

1. Shared (institutional cooperation)

– Political commitment (legislative/non-legislative)

– Partnership (win-win)

– Networking (connecting)

2. Environmental Information (content)

– Horizontal integration (thematic)

– Vertical integration (local to global)

– Online access (near real time)

– For policy makers and public (multi-purpose)

3. System (infrastructure)

– Existing ICT Infrastructure

– New e-Services (e-Government)

– Inspire, Reportnet, GMES,...

Development o Strengthening the EEA-SDI as a node in ESDI and

sharing (pan)European spatial data sets

o Improving bi-directional data flows / reporting between MS and EEA using spatial information as a kind of common reference framework

Implementation (in scope of EEA-SDI) o Extended reference versions of thematic environmental

data ( (pan)European )

o Specific operational services

Communication o Addressing cross-domain requirements

o Co-relations: INSPIRE, SEIS, GMES, GEOSS, …, regional cooperation (outside EU)
