Presentation Transcript

  1. INSPIRE – Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe Nick Land EuroGeographics

  2. Presentation • INSPIRE • Vision & scope • Policy measures • Timetable • What does it mean for us

  3. INSPIRE • Legislative framework for an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe • DG Environment, Eurostat and JRC • Focus on Environment & formulation, implementation, monitoring of policy at the Community level ….. promoting sustainable development • PSI, 6th Environmental Action Programme (environmental reporting), Access to environmental information

  4. Obstacles & Policy measures Gaps in data Lack of documentation Incompatible datasets Lack of harmonised services Restrictive data policies Poor coordination List of essential pan-European datasets Datasets documented to agreed metadata standards Data available to agreed specifications Establish services for viewing, accessing data Licensing framework Coordination structure

  5. INSPIRE vision Users DB C Owndata INSPIRE Data DB B Euro Metadata DB A EuroSpec Pricing & Licensing policy ISO Legal Framework

  6. INSPIRE data themes Geographical location Administrative units Properties, buildings & addresses Elevation Geophysical environment Land Surface Transport Utilities & facilities Society & Population Area regulation Air & Climate Hydrography Oceans & seas Biota/biodiversity Natural resources Risks Areas under anthropogenic stress

  7. INSPIRE Timetable • Started end 2001 • Position papers delivered October ’02 • May ’03: Public consultation • July ’03: Consultation within Commission • October ’03: Commission proposal • 2006/7: Adoption of framework legislation by Council and Parliament • 2006/7+ Implementation

  8. Pre-implementation phase • Metadata profile • Specifications for INSPIRE datasets • Prototyping a ‘geo-portal’ • Development of technical guidelines (‘cookbook’) • Interoperability demonstrator

  9. Metadata • Specification – ISO profile • Conversion of data & maintenance • Linking individual metadata services (nodes) within ‘a decentralised framework’ • Timing: • Discovery level services by 2008/9 • More detailed information by 2011/12

  13. Datasets • Agree the European specifications • Semantic definitions • Unique identifiers • Minimum acceptable quality levels • Ensure national databases can be ‘translated’ to European specifications • Potentially large ‘re-engineering’ task • Additional data capture in the future • More ‘joined up’ approach at national borders • Timing: 2015 at the latest

  14. Licensing framework • Increasing focus on licensing, rather than pricing • Pricing consistent with national policies (and principles of subsidiarity) – no impact on current business models? • INSPIRE proposes: • metadata should be free of charge • possible to view all data free of charge • some datasets should be free of charge e.g Administrative boundaries • INSPIRE focuses on public sector data

  15. Diversity of pricing & licensing policies

  16. Licensing framework • Start by understanding the differences • Develop common terminology and templates • Adopt common standards? • Transparency – publish on internet – and consistency • Compliant with the relevant laws e.g competition law, data protection

  17. Organisation & Coordination ESDI Committee ‘Network’ NSDI (focal points) Geospatial Interest Groups Permanent Operational Body

  18. Financial impact • Currently assessing the incremental costs of implementing INSPIRE • Comparison with other programmes • Galileo: 3.4 billion euro programme • GMES: 350 million euros

  19. Summary Best Practice!
