1. MIWP Action 2016.5 ”Priority List of E-Reporting Datasets”
48th meeting of the MIG permanent technical sub-group (MIG-T),
MIWP Action ”Priority List of E-Reporting Datasets”
Progress and Outlook
Darja Lihteneger (EEA)
On behalf of Co-Chairs
(Stefan Jensen and Joeri Robbrecht)

2. Context
Monitoring and Reporting under environmental acquis as a priority use case for developing pan-European products building on INSPIRE
Key aspect is to ensure a cross-cutting impact of this action across different Directives, maximising the reuse of INSPIRE data sets in reporting obligations / usage domains
An important contribution to the Action Plan on streamlining environmental reporting, applying the “once-only” principle on underlying INSPIRE geospatial data sets
(Rolling) List of priority data sets for e-Reporting identified following Fitness Check evaluation of environmental reporting.

3. MIWP subgroup
Temporary MIG sub-group (including INSPIRE and EIONET experts), part of MIWP
Coordination by EC-ENV and EEA
Scope of the sub-group is in a nutshell to:
Further develop and clarify the list of data sets related to environmental reporting
Support MS in making the priority data sets accessible through INSPIRE infrastructure
Provision of help and support in data modelling and transformation according to INSPIRE
Set up a platform to exchange MS experiences and provide feedback on conceptual mapping and proposals for streamlining ROs
Meetings:
Kick Off Meeting in Kehl (DE) back-to-back to the INSPIRE Conference (4 September 2017)
2nd Meeting in Copenhagen (DK) back-to-back to the NRC-EIS meeting (23 November 2017)
3rd Meeting - web-conference (20 February 2018)
Note that this action does NOT change existing legal provisions or deadlines of INSPIRE Directive

4. T1: Manage and update the priority list of e-Reporting data sets
MIWP Work Programme
Current activities:
4 Core Tasks:
T1: Manage and update the priority list of e-Reporting data sets
T2: Make data available as-is: identify data sets, document metadata, make metadata and data available on the EU INSPIRE Geoportal by providing network services
T3: Discuss common and interoperable European data models per reporting obligation/data flow that are fit for purpose for the envisaged use case
T4: Monitor the availability of pan-European data sets

5. Summary of process of developing Priority data set (PDS) list and tagging

UBA AT + INSPIRE CT
MIWP consultation / commenting
Comments from: AT, ES, NL, PT
03-04/2018 Priority data set list version 2.0
INSPIRE Thematic Viewer

6. T1: Manage and update the priority list of e-Reporting datasets
T1 Progress and outlook
T1: Manage and update the priority list of e-Reporting datasets
Priority data set list version 2.0
Finalised and current version (2.0) available on the wiki (here).
Additional explanation is available in a form of FAQ document available on wiki
Overview of comments and resolutions from the consultation are published on wiki

7. Priority data set list 7 thematic areas:
air, noise, nature, water, industrial accidents,
Industrial emissions, waste
23 diverse pieces of legislation (legal basis)
47 Reporting obligations and requirements
96 Relevant - detailed spatial data sets

8. Priority data set list Keeping track of changes
Number from the original PDS list
Originally defined data sets
ID of each spatial data set
Keeping track of changes
Changes documented in PDS status
Reporting obligation and requirements
Detailed spatial data sets for each reporting obligation
Reporting guidelines

9. Each entry in the current PDS list can be more than one actual dataset
Priority data set list
Each entry in the current PDS list can be more than one actual dataset

10. Hierarchical INSPIRE code list
Priority data set list and proposed keyword tagging
Hierarchical INSPIRE code list

11. T2: Make available data sets as-is
T2 Progress and outlook
T2: Make available data sets as-is
To identify PDS through metadata tagging with keywords
INSPIRE Priority data set metadata code list is published in INSPIRE Registry,
Hierarchical code list (from general description to detailed description) – table and tree view
Agreement to start piloting the metadata tagging focusing first on the biodiversity and nature data sets
Tagging:
Recommended to apply the best fitting most detailed code
Providing one keyword (code) in metadata tagging is enough
Recommended to apply several detailed codes from diverse domains to indicate the data set fits into diverse thematic domains (reporting obligations), where feasible
All PDS proposed to be identified, tagged and made available by 15 May 2018
All encouraged to continue tagging after 15 May 2018

12. Progress and outlook per task
T3: Common and interoperable European data models per reporting obligation/data flow
Task not yet addressed directly by the sub-group
Stepwise approach to be agreed upon and worked through in 2018
A few European Directives are candidates for harmonised European data models in reporting data flows
T4: Monitor the availability of pan-European datasets
JRC has developed a Thematic Viewer that facilitates access to MS priority data sets
Presentation and discussion to follow in the MIG-T meeting
