2. WISE – SOE and Directives
EIONET SOE information used in EEA reports, giving trends
Problem was lack in consistency with WFD and other directives
Further work on convergance as WFD information in place now
SOE-reporting further maintained
18. Sept Eionet Workshop to discuss data issues - Quality, Structure, Assessments

3. Lessons learned –  too many quick and dirty solutions Reporting:
WFD could not use full ReportNet features  development needed to better facilitate QA/QC and automatisation, DD development
Reporting of Geo-data; stability
Data consistency, needs better searchability  one consistent data structure across tabular and spatial data
Dissemination:
Streamlining of Viewers;
Website and entry pages
 too many quick and dirty solutions

4. Re-structuring data maintanance - INSPIRE-compliant spatial datasets and - tabular datasets fit for integrated asessments
Tabular datasets
Monitoring data, status info
– water quality
(ID, parameter values)
Monitoring data, status info
– water quantity
(ID, parameter values)
Reported data, - emissions, treatment type, compliance,..
(ID, parameter values)
Monitoring stations - quality
(ID, ID-WB, coordinates, attributes)
Monitoring stations - quantiity
(ID, ID-WB, coordinates, attributes)
Facilities (industries, treatment plants,..)
(ID, ID-WB, coordinates, attributes)
WFD surface water bodies (WB)
Rivers, lakes, transitional, coastal
(ID, shapefiles, attributes)
WFD ground water bodies (WB)
(ID, shapefiles, attributes)
Udate frequency
WISE Main Rivers, Main Lakes
(ID, shapefiles, attributes)
Reference GIS datasets
Reference GIS datasets to be INSPIRE compliant and updated after certain period after any change made by MS
Tabular data regular reported by MS via current data flows – could potentially be developed into distributed system
WFD River Basin Districts
(ID, shapefiles, attributes)
NUTS1, NUTS2, NUTS3,..
(ID, shapefiles, attributes)
Country boarders
(shapefiles)
Coastline(s)
(shapefiles)
Spatial datasets

6. How does it look like now? And how we would like to move
Data and Reporting:
ReportNet as reporting tool:
having the same structure (DD) and QA/QC procedures will help in processing information and data
in next years specific tools for GIS data to be used (ArcGIS online, SDI links). Ensure INSPIRE compliance
Use data at MS source (“decentralised system”), see Floods and UWWTD
Data maintenance: one consistent structure across spatial and tabular data
Enabling better unstructured information (verbally described)
Dissemination of European data as:
Interactive viewers  towards one viewer system enabling integrated analysis
Website(s)  update/change the website to host more unstructured information including wiki

7. Challenges for further WISE development conceptually moving towards SIIFs
(Re -) Specify EU information needs
Common data model
Common data specification of tabular data - data dictionary
Common data specification spatial data – Inspire compliant

8. Practical implications - GIS/IT developments

9. Elements of WISE (2.0/update)
ArcGIS online new maps will be already prepared following the new requirements: first maps will be ready in May
Inclusion of all data with ‘time line’ this will allow looking at all the DB at specific time (none of the data is prepared in this way)
Website  this will be updated during the 2013 with new information and direct links to (interactive) maps or new products that will be on the EEA website

10. Expected outputs this year
ArcGIS online for experts
Specific entry page for the ArcGIS for experts  this depends on the ESRI developments might be ready only next year
Updated website(water.europa.eu)
Changes to the EEA website  links between sources i.e. interactive webmap provides also links to source data that were used
When ever possible interactive maps will be based on ArcGIS online

11. WISE core database and data access
Currently:
Individual datasets (UWWTD, BWD, NiD, DWD, SoE rivers, SoE lakes, SoE gw, …….) published in Waterbase => only for IT experts
Future:
Consistent data model, keeping integrity and relation between all water related parameter
Solution for object lifetime history for structural elements (RBDs, NUTS codes, NACE codes, stations, etc.)
Public WISE data viewer - view and download data from WISE core database (Expert data viewers on WFD, UWWTD, BWD, etc.)

12. Consequences of the changes on the current work flows
The workflow has been changed and number of staff had to be trained
Some maps for May might be published later (i.e. June)
Some data were already prepared with current setup and they will be published as prepared
There is an expectation that MS experts will be using ArcGIS online for commenting directly on the GIS layers

13. Long term benefits
Reduction of steps during production (e.g.DB, GIS layers, maps) which should speed up the process
Integration with other data that are already and will be in the future on ArcGIS online
Better access to data and assessment tools

15. GIS reference layers

16. Current status GWB  to be uploaded on the EEA website and SDI
RBD- update Atkins made some changes just before Easter
TC under revision in-house, however as the RBD layer was change links to the last version needs to be made
Coastline second draft ready, CLC and erosion data will be included by end September; if linear ref. from MS should be included we need to be sure if it was reported…
Main rivers  links to other databases needs to be included (end June), information on WB (end of year) – but first version might be uploaded to the EEA website in June
Main lakes  layer has not been published but all the information is included in ECRINS  online since summer 2012
