5. “Activity Complex” and “Facilities” Scopes

6. IED mapping into INSPIRE (terminology)
INSIRE provides ready to use solutions and legal framework for uniform encoding of at least the following fields required by MODULE.2 of the questionnaire (2012/795/EU):
Reference number of the = identifier
Identifier management [INSPIRE base Types]: IED, EPRTR, eSPIRS
INSPIRE Identifier used by ProductionFacilities for eSPIRS, includes id’s from EPRTR and IED
Installation address, location
[INSPIRE theme]: Addresses
Installation name
[INSPIRE theme]: Area Management Restriction Regulation Zones and Reporting units
Competent authority
[INSPIRE theme]: Area Management Restriction Regulation Zones and Reporting units

7. IED mapping into INSPIRE (terminology)
INSIRE details for MODULE.2 of the questionnaire (2012/795/EU):
Identifier
Reference number of the = identifier
Identifier management [INSPIRE base Types]: IED, EPRTR, eSPIRS
INSPIRE Identifier used by Production and Facilities for eSPIRS, includes id’s from EPRTR and IED
inspireID: localID + namespace + versionID
mapping proposal
thematicID: mapping porposal

8. Main purpose of identifiers in INSPIRE
INSPIRE Directive, Article 8(2)(a)
“The implementing rules shall address a common framework for the unique identification of spatial objects, to which identifiers under national systems can be mapped“
Unambiguously trace spatial objects / support managing lifecycles of spatial objects including versioning
Support reuse by providing access to these objects via an identifier, e.g. for linking spatial data with other information.

9. IED mapping into INSPIRE (terminology)
INSIRE details for MODULE.2 of the questionnaire (2012/795/EU):
Addresses
Installation address, location
[INSPIRE theme]: Addresses
Street = AddressLocator/ThoroughfareName
Town = Administrative Unit Name /Address Area Name
postal code = postCode
Country = CountryCode …
Installation latitude/longitude
= GeographicPosition

10. IED mapping into INSPIRE (terminology)
INSIRE details for MODULE.2 of the questionnaire (2012/795/EU):
Installation name & competent authority
Installation name
[INSPIRE theme]: Area Management Restriction Regulation Zones and Reporting units
Name = Geographical name
Competent authority
[INSPIRE theme]: Area Management Restriction Regulation Zones and Reporting units
Includes such as:
legislation base, eg. link to SEVESO directive
competentAuthority, …

11. INSPIRE Thematic Scope for EPRTR
‘EPRTR’ GML Schema
As kind of Template, was generated by JRC
e.g. INSPIRE
GML file
Also Generic Conceptual Model, Observations & Measures

12. Transformation origin conformant transformation
simple transformation - renaming, assign new properties complex transformation - reclassification, geometry calulation

13. Transformation needs domain expertise
analytical
task
load target SCHEMA
define INSPIRE mapping
create transformation rules
run transformation

14. eprtr entities INSPIRE target schema ‚eprtr‘ template
EPRTR mapping process
eprtr
entities
INSPIRE
target schema
‚eprtr‘ template
Analyze Reporting concepts from legal requirements
Identify relevant INSPIRE Themes
Identify relevant INSPIRE FeatureTypes
Map reporting concepts to INSPIRE FeatureTypes (direct mapping possible, additional attributes classes, etc. needed

15. IED/EPRTR/eSPIRS - INSPIRE proposal & gaps
analytical
task
To find a common applicable structure of INSPIRE namespaces ?
e.g.
To elaborate an method while handling with INSPIRE thematic identifier (linking EPRTR, IED, SEVESO establishments)
Not covered by this 1st exercise INSPIRE:
SEVESO objects (Lower | Upper Tier);
Substances and NUTS were not taken into consideration

16. & thematic identifier management
... use case
IED
E-reporting objects
INSPIRE id
& thematic identifier management
INSPIRE
Schema
AU,AM,PF, …
‘eSPIRS’
Establishment
‘E-PRTR’
db-object

17. COLLABORATION AND COORDINATION: KEY FOR STREAMLINED REPORTING
Step wise approach
Start with what is required and giving immediate benefits
Do once -> reuse many
Proposal for a mapping process & gap analysis
Building a knowledge base on IED
