2. Current data flow model for ecosystem services accounts
EEA data
sets
Visualisation of the accounts on inca.ec.europa.eu; (for now:
JRC
data
sets
ESTAT
data
sets
Local processing
and analysis
Mapping and aggregation at national scale into supply and use tables
other
data
sets
Storage of INCA output on data.jrc.ec.europa.eu

3. Discussion points
How can the current data model to produce accounts be implemented or improved in the frame of
The review of the environmental data centres
The development of a shared spatial data infrastructure (for which INCA is a test case; see footnote 1)
1. Testing a shared spatial data infrastructure means that we first need a shared spatial data infrastructure. Do we have one?

4. Discussion points
What is needed so that a shared spatial data infrastructure ensures:
Frequent updates of the accounts
Proper versioning: What if an updated input dataset becomes available/How to manage new datasets?
The use of the same data sets as input to all accounts
1. Testing a shared spatial data infrastructure means that we first need a shared spatial data infrastructure. Do we have one?

5. Discussion points Spatial downscaling of land use statistics
There is a need to increase the capacity to provide on a regular basis downscaled statistics. Nobody is currently delivering this sort of data.

6. Tasks for INCA INCA test cases :
Describe the current situation and make proposals for improvement of data flows based on the hypothesis that there will be any time soon a shared data infrastructure
