Optimisation of the formats & the data model
Common code lists to support reporting
Open sharing of experiences with testing of B to G
Information sharing of concepts and formats for datasets B to K
Presentation of concept of JRC-prototype (cf INSPIRE-SEIS pilot) to support reporting of H to K

7. Key pilot study outcomes
Schema update to INSPIRE v3 data specifications Nov 2012
INSPIRE timeline caused some issues arising from misalignment with the e-Reporting timeline
NOW the schema is stable
 allows countries to ADVANCE & FINALISE their software systems
Successful testing of the e-Reporting data model and schema for all core data flows

8. Key pilot study outcomes
Development of robust & e-Reporting guidance
Supporting the Commission IPR guidance
Guide to XML
Aggregation rules
QA/QC for data flows
Engagement with JRC INSPIRE pilots to trials INSPIRE solutions

9. Key pilot study outcomes
Open sharing of experiences, methods & software
Successful testing & info sharing of concepts and formats for
Air quality zones data flow
UTD & validated data flows
Metadata for assessments methods
Assessments Regimes
Declaration of objective attainment

10. Looking forward 2014 Pilot group / workshop will be necessary
Continuous support to EIONET countries
Further improvements on User Guide
Troubleshooting
ETC/ACM & EEA to provide feedback on submissions
Further guidance on AQUI
Concentrate on data flows to be delivered Sept 2014
