WISE – intermediate solutionWISE – intermediate solution

• All water-related information from EU water policy • Water Framework, Urban Waste Water Treatment, Nitrates,

Bathing Waters and Drinking Water Directives• upcoming Marine Strategy and Flood Action Programmes. • other water-related datasets such as Eionet-Water and from

relevant water research projects.

• Provides the geo-referencing for data • an important building block for INSPIRE.

• Proposed timetable • Available to the public in 2006 • Fully operational by 2010.

Timetable of eventsTimetable of events

• Brainstorming meeting June 7• DG ENV, EEA, ESTAT, JRC

• Main considerations• process and validation of data • where and how to hold data,• data flows, • access rights, • visualisation

• WISE draft Implementation Plan• WISE Steering Group discussion – 15 September

5

Main areas of agreementMain areas of agreement

• A desire to support a single stream of data.• A single data definition

• Temporal and spatial integration • Support different frequencies for data collection

• Coordinated data exchange standards • Move towards disaggregated data collection• Common standards for visualisation. • State of the Environment Reporting Drafting

Group (under the CIS structure)

6

Perceived success factorsPerceived success factors

• The co-operation of the Member States• EU25 and the EEA member countries• Two Reporting Drafting Groups (Compliance and SOE)

• Involvement of DG ENV, EEA, ESTAT, JRC, Buy in from International River Basin Commissions, UNEP etc.

• Definition of base environmental data against which reporting is made

• Provision of access to all information types• Numerical data, ecological status (computed), thematic

maps, reports, downloads, documents (e.g. methodologies),

WISE Implementation PlanWISE Implementation Plan

15

Outline planOutline plan

• Basic steps• Conceptual and preparatory work • Detailed design and prototype• Development of upload facilities• Development of access facilities• Roll out for other directives

• Involved JRC, DG Env, EEA and Eurostat• Based around Waterbase and WISE prototype• 2006 launch - 2010 full roll out

16

Conceptual and preparatory workConceptual and preparatory work

• Establish the user requirements including common information requirements (Task 1)

• Protocols (Task 2)• a common “submissions” user interface including validation

and system security (Task 2a)• automated data exchange between systems (Task 2b)• dissemination and publication of information to the broader

user community. (Task 2c)

• Organisation requirement to manage WISE. (Task 3)• Planned for completion by end of 2005

17

Detailed design stageDetailed design stage

• Test concepts for 2006 publication using existing WISE prototype (Task 4) (Q1 2006)

• Detailed functional design (Task 5) (Q1 2006)• Submission tools and data exchange modules

• Upgrade of existing Reportnet tools• Design of publication toolset

• Design of common water information schema for water information (Task 6) (Q1 2006)• INSPIRE SDIC

• Determination of the GIS standards required (Task 7) (Q2 2006)

18

Implement submission toolsImplement submission tools

• Common entry point (Task 8)• Likely extension of ROD capabilities

• Defining reporting requirement (Task 9)• Likely development of Data Dictionary facilities• Providing GIS capability

• Data exchange modules (Task 10)• Extension of DEM to enable automatic validation and

exchange• Providing GIS capability

• Target by Q4 2006

19

Implement harvesting toolsImplement harvesting tools

• Develop shared Data Repository (Task 11)• Likely central dataset• Separate from master data

• Development of publication module (Task 12)• Web viewer, GIS functionality, Data download, Analysis

capability, Document repository, FAQs and graphical design

• Develop system access protocols (task 13)• Access• Level of functionality

• Target by Q4 2006

20

Timetable for other DirectivesTimetable for other Directives

• Urban Water Water Treatment - Q3 2007• Nitrates Directive – Q3 2007• Bathing Waters Directive – Q2 2008• Drinking Water Directive Q1 – 2 2008• IPPC - Q4 2007• Thereafter

• Joint Questionnaire• Marine strategy• Floods initiative
