1. Stefan Jensen - head - SEIS and SDI group
EEA and EIONET – environmental aspects, issues and benefits in contributing to Annex II/III data specifications
Stefan Jensen - head - SEIS and SDI group

2. Items covered General benefits
EEA experiences in data specification for reporting data
Previous, current and future (indicative) EEA engagement in INSPIRE data specifications
Some issues identified so far / general comments
Overview of participants involvement

3. General benefits
Strenghten the environmental aspects in the INSPIRE data specifications
Support EEA use cases
Improving the Spatial data infrastructure on European level / between EU institutions
Implementing SEIS
Bridging between Members State and European needs
Strenghten standardisation
Prepare for data harmonsisation through common models and code lists
Allowing for SEIS/INSPIRE networked services at a later stage

4. Experiences with data specifications
Building data models for reporting
WISE (WFD, river basin management plans, bathing water ...)
AIR (CAFE process and follow-up)
Nature (Habitats, Article )
....
Other useful experiences contributing to the INSPIRE discussion
Key input to the O&M (object and measurement) group
newly established

6. Use cases EEA presented 16 European level use cases, related to:
the Environmental Action Program,
the implementation of Community environmental policies,
the monitoring and review of Community environmental policies
Focus mainly on themes relevant to EEA related data centres
Some already described in Data specifications ver.1, others partially

7. EEA high level and detailed use cases - submitted late 2010
Ambient air quality
Air pollutant emissions
Climate change – Global and European temperature
Land monitoring – land take
Land take by transport
Fragmentation of land and forest
Implementation of the Marine Strategy Directive
Status of fish stocks
Aquaculture production
Regional accessabilitry of markets and cohesion
Urban Environment – integrated monitoring
Drinking water quality
Water accounts
Nutrients in transitional, coastal marine waters
In detail: Land accounts, Ambient air quality assessment

8. EEA use cases – JRC mapping of UC linkage to the INSPIRE themes…

9. General comments on current status (v1.9)
Overall huge amount of material available
Many environmental use cases covered but not always fully modelled
General and (for environmental purposes) very detailed models are presented
Many environmental themes go across dataspecs and are therefore difficult to address in a common way
