4. INSPIRE framework

5. metadata spatial data sets spatial data services network services technologies agreements on sharing, access and use coordinating mechanisms monitoring mechanisms process procedures Main elements infrastructure

6. INSPIRE: three important core data clusters Three annexes Important reference core data sets Essential/crucial data sets such as: Land Information/Cadastre Thematic data set Ambitious target

7. Annex I 1. Coordinate reference systems 2. Geographical grid systems 3. Geographical names 4. Administrative units 5. Transport networks 6. Hydrography 7. Protected sites Annex II 1. Elevation 2. Addresses 3. Cadastral parcels 4. Land cover 5. Orthoimagery 6. Geology

8. 1. Statistical units 2. Buildings 3. Soil 4. Land use 5. Human health and safety 6. Utility and governmental services 7. Environmental monitoring facilities 8. Production and industrial facilities 9. Agricultural and aquaculture facilities 10. Population distribution – demography 11. Area management/restriction/regulation zones & reporting units 12. Natural risk zones 13. Atmospheric conditions 14. Meteorological geographical features 15. Oceanographic geographical features 16. Sea regions 17. Bio-geographical regions 18. Habitats and biotopes 19. Species distribution 20. Energy resources 21. Mineral resources Annex III

9. Timetable

10. MS establish and operate upload services discovery services and view services download services allowed not to be free available Commission establish EU Geo Portal MS adopt measures for sharing spatial data sets and services MS organises structures and mechanisms coordination Products

11. metadata data specifications and harmonization network services interoperability data & service sharing monitoring & reporting organizational structures coordination integration & horizontal measures Implementing rules first step

27. Legislative process geo information sector initiative role many initiatives in prepatory phase Inspire working group Two parallel action lines

28. Strong involvement GI sector Ambitious time schedule Relatively short preparation phase legislative process Strong points in INSPIRE approach

29. Data quality procedures needed Discovery meta data/access data: free of charge Sustainable funding investment and charging mechanisms  facilitated by MS Establishing bodies of coordination Key conclusions Data Policy Group preparatory phase

30. Costs Benefits Extended impact assesment

31. Implementing rules procedure

32. 11th EC-GI&GIS Workshop Alghero, Sardinia 29 June - 1 July 2005 Analysis of the result of the INSPIRE call for Expression of Interest Alessandro Annoni

33. short preparation phase: 2002-2004 some concerns: European Parliament: adopted at 7 th June 2005 Council: political agreement 24 th June 2005 Commission did not accept the version Second reading needed in 2006 Legislative process

34. Unclear legislative texts: “The European Council text of INSPIRE allows Member States to apply charges and/or licenses to view services where these are an essential precondition to maintain the spatial data sets and services or to fulfill requirements of already existing international spatial data infrastructures in a sustainable way.” Points of attention 1. More clarification legal framework needed

35. Does it handle on sharing between public authorities? Does it handle on providing information to citizens or private companies? What does mean the essential precondition to maintain the spatial data? Are these regulations conflicting with the Arhus convention? Points of attention 1. Questions

36. Big differences status NSDI’s Europe Germany: NSDI federal legal status Belgium (Flanders): implementation NSDI regulated Netherlands: no regulation Points of attention 2. NSDI’s vital role in development INSPIRE

37. PSI Not focused on improving access not focused on obligation public sector providing public data INSPIRE Complementary instrument? Points of attention 3. Relation PSI directive not very clear:

38. How harmonized licensing frameworks will be introduced? Under which legal and organizational conditions of improved access of Annexes I, II and III will be realized? data sharing target must be realized in 2007 / 2008 (short term) Points of attention 4. Missing direction sustainable funding for realization INSPIRE target

39. 5. Unclear which rules of INSPIRE regulate obligatory Points of attention

40. Develop organizational requirements for NSDI Establish monitoring mechanisms for NSDI performances Establish Pan-Europe Infrastructure Interaction National initiatives and INSPIRE needed Requirements:

41. Interaction National initiatives and INSPIRE needed Infrastructure: MS harmonization/standardization/sharing initiatives: MS facilitate: Commission integration data/portals: Commission Examples: Quick changing initiatives Commission and MS

42. Interaction model needed National data policy framework document (joint producers) for sharing data for integration of data Negotiations on funding and NSDI investments with government Establish coordination mechanisms in every Member State Regulation coordination mechanisms vital condition

43. Conclusion Ambitious timetable Many initiatives on standardization More interaction EC and MS needed organizational issues data policy issues funding issues

44. Final remarks Standardization and portal building EC initiatives Organizational conditions Initiatives MS needed Creating the policy framework Initiative role producers needed Initiative role MS needed

45. Europe’s Geowarehouse: Napoleon 1803 and 2013 Names, address, ownership, building,Geo-location Creates trust in trade and government Core Databases Consolidation Basic registrations Fraud prevention Repeating Napoleon’s effort, but now digitalised.
