European Location Framework (ELF), INSPIRE and
the European Interoperability Framework (EIF)
Eva Pauknerova (CUZK) and Antti Jakobsson (MML)
30.09.2016 INSPIRE Conference, Barcelona 1
Presentation outline
• INSPIRE seen as an infrastructure• ELF and the EIF perspective:
– legal, organizational, semantic/information and technology interoperability,
– role of base registries,• where they should complement or support each other

INSPIRE
• The European Directive providing ‐ together withits Implementing Rules and technical guidelines ‐a joint legal framework for building‐up the INfrastructure for SPatial INformation at the EU+to support environmental policies in Europe.
• INSPIRE is implemented through a federated network of geoinformation providers building on existing spatial data infrastructures (SDIs) in the EU Member States (MSs). It impacts these NSDIs.

InfrastructuresWikipedia:• Infrastructure refers to structures, systems, and facilities serving
the economy of a business, industry, country, city, town, or area,[1]including the services and facilities necessary for its economy to function.[2] It is typically a term to characterize the existence or condition of costly 'technical structures' such as roads, bridges, tunnels, or other constructed facilities such as loading docks, cold storage chambers, electrical capacity, fuel tanks, cranes, overhead clearances, or components of water supplys, sewers, electrical grids, telecommunications, and so forth. Infrastructure thus consists of improvements with significant cost to develop or install that return an important value over time.
• Infrastructure can be defined as "the physical components of interrelated systems providing commodities and services essential to enable, sustain, or enhance societal living conditions."[3] the word infrastructure has been used in English since at least 1887 and in French since at least 1875, originally meaning "The installations that form the basis for any operation or system".[

• Constructions in accord with the vision• Less traffic jams (new underground‐infrastructure used by 30
million cars in the 1st year) , faster transport in several directionsBUT• More cars and bigger ones, drivers demand more and changing
their habits• Urban traffic, public city transport impacted, incl. parking places• Inhabitants in the affected zones became tired• Investors trying to brake the pre‐tunnel status‐quo of urban
plans and regulations• Some technologies had aged before being applied (but used due
to public procurement limitations)AN INFRASTRUCTURE requires a long‐term maintenance to serve
Is there a differencebetween a vision and the 2016 reality ?

ELF• European Location Framework (ELF) is a European
Pilot‐A Project which will deliver the European Location Framework (ELF) required to provide up‐to‐date, authoritative, interoperable, cross‐border, reference geo‐information for use by the European public and private sectors.
• This cloud‐based and cascade‐supporting architecture will provide a platform of INSPIRE compliant geo‐information harmonised successively at a cross‐border and pan‐European level. Focus on themes AD, AU, BU, CP, GN, HY, TN etc. Multilinguality.

ELS needs to preparefor interoperability
within eGovernment
EIFEuropean Interoperability Framework (EIF) is a key framework document published in and for the ISA Programme. It outlines main principles and methodology toenhance interoperability of public administration and e‐Government at the EU.

25 EIF Recommendations (1) Public administrations should:
1) align their interoperability frameworks with the EIF to take into account the European dimension of public service delivery.
2) ensure that public services are accessible to all citizens, including persons with disabilities and the elderly, according to e‐accessibility specifications widely recognised at European or international level.
3) consider the specific needs of each European public service, within the context of a common security and privacy policy.
4) use information systems and technical architectures that cater for multilingualismwhen establishing a European public service.
5) formulate together a long‐term preservation policy for electronic records relating to European public services.
6) aim for openness when working together to establish European public services, while taking into account their priorities and constraints.
7) be encouraged to reuse and share solutions and to cooperate on the development of joint solutions when implementing European public services.
8) not impose any specific technological solution on citizens, businesses and other administrations when establishing European public services.
9) develop a component‐based service model, allowing the establishment of European public services by reusing, as much as possible, existing service components. etc30.09.2016 INSPIRE Conference, Barcelona 28
Year 2016 as a milestone for these pan‐European activities
• The ELF Project finishes in October 2016, it also went through an enlargement to 40 ELF Consortium Members. The National Mapping and Cadastral Authorities (NMCAs) create more than a half of these newly. The transition from the ELF Project (covering about 20 European countries) to the European Location Services (ELS) with a geographically wider coverage will start in 2016, led by EuroGeographics ‐ the pan‐European Association of NMCAs.
• The INSPIRE implementation went through an evaluation and reflection phase from the EC perspective (REFIT). The MSs have provided their 3‐year INSPIRE reports describing their coordination effort and implementation results in the period 2013‐2015. New MIWP in progress.
• The ISA Programme transformed into the ISA2 Programme and some of its documents, including the EIF, go through revisions and modifications as regards priorities or formal weight.

What is the impact of ELF and INSPIRE?
INSPIRE provides or reinforces:• A joint legal basis for the ESDI • Coordination structures at
(sub)national and EU levels• A broad use of standardized
metadata > easier search for geodata and related services
• Provision of interoperablewebservices to discover, view and download existing sets of spatial data
• Common rules to harmonize thematic data across EU+
• ELISE links INSPIRE and ISA
ELF supports and enriches:• Implementation of INSPIRE by NMCAs
through a coordinated effort, sharing ofLessons Learned, testing, feed‐back, ELFspecifications and tools
• Cross‐border and pan‐European aspects via comparison, detecting issues, developing new products
• One access point to authoritative, consolidated, interoperable services and data for thematic and eGovernmentapplications: cross border and across EU+
• Nex functional components for ISA: topoBM, cadastral index map, gazeteer
30.09.2016 INSPIRE Conference, Barcelona 31ELS and ELISE are bringing us closer to the ISA and DSM goals
