Metadata published at INSPIRE
WFS&WMS services provide the data

4. Information House Marine (IHM)
Improve efficiency in monitoring
By making parties to work together (share ships / know what others are monitoring and re use data)
Publish a monitoring agenda for next year
Publish open data in easy to use format
Help implementing MSFD
Coordinate monitoring efforts of two ministries
Coordinate parts of assessments discussions
Coordinate reporting (incl art 19.3 !!) 4

5. Open data Data from the ministries is open
Parts can be found on websites
More data can be obtained at a helpdesk or by appealing on the open information act.
IHM provides a viewer that delivers marine data and maps FROM SERVICES (no data is stored) 5

6. Open data
IHM provides services related to the dutch north sea (so no land based maps are shown)
In fact this is INSPIRE annexes 1 and 2 in practice together with non-inspire open data services
Geonovum holds a list of services that are designated as INSPIRE 6

7. Open data
The same viewer, but now data from marine projects is being served 7

8. Open data
The same viewer, but now data from regular marine monitoring is being served
In fact this one is the most impressive as > 250 chemical measurements (> 1000 parameters/ substances) since 1990 are available 8

9. AQUO 9

10. AQUO
Chemical measurements from 1990 – now (approx measurements)
Biology in a week
More biology in two years from now 10

11. AQUO Domain tables for e.g. Dimension: (MASS, LENGTH, CONC, NOISE, ..
Units: (kg, m, ug/l, dB, …
Parameters: (chlf-a, biotaxa, chemicals, waste, imposex, birds, noise, dikes, ….. 11

12. AQUO AQUO uses IDs and can be used in any language
Is implemented using xml editors or csv
We still use csv editor (Excel  ) 12

13. MSFD
IHM helped specification of monitoringprogrammes (frequencies, parameters, dimensions, units, etc.) 13

14. MSFD
Monitoring analysis uploads in 2014 and 2015 14

15. MSFD Data is stored
IHM requests all MSFD data from the ministries (except for ICES-fish data)
IHM ensures that only MSFD-labelled data is uploaded
Frozen datasets are stored in a Postgres/Postgis database 15

27. Key Messages from NL
Open data / Re use / efficiency are the main drivers in national politics
Inspire techniques as WFS/WMS can be used efficiently as technical standards with national semantics
Improve efficiency by withdrawal of many existing EU/riverbassin/other reporting obligations
Improve efficiency by withdrawal /merging of many existing semantic standards
Proposal: start EU Semantic water standardisation with national reporting authorities, based on successful existing standards (DIN/AQUO/ICES/Reportnet /SDN/Worms /ISO-O&M) using domain tables and strong maintenance funding 27
