How is SN involved? Data owner Data user (mainly national)

SN as data user Annex 1: –Administrative units –Addresses –Coordinate reference systems –Transport networks Annex 2: –Land cover –Ortho imagery Annex 3: –Statistical units –Buildings –Others?

Activities so far (1) Create Inspire compliant metadata Upload metadata to Dutch National Georegister (NGR)

Activities so far (2) Test bed participant user annex I themes Meetings organized by Geonovum (LMO) Project management Cost benefit analysis Study on creating web services –Organized a workshop at SN with ESRI-NL – –Installed ArcGis Server in test environment

Activities in the future Update metadata Map data to the Inspire data specifications Create Inspire WEB services –view (WMS), –download (WFS) –search (CSW) ?? Apply for thematic working group “land use”

Costs and benefits Benefits: –own (meta)data in order –accessibility to other national data –push for new technology within SN –better image of SN –better dissemination of data –Europe –national –internal!
