- The Land Board contributes to the development of national strategies (GIS related issues) and ensures that its own strategic documents (development plans) are in line with national principles
National Digital Strategy
- First project 2011-2012
Funded by European Regional Development Fund
- Results of the project were:
- Annex I and Annex II metadata available through Discovery service (CSW)
- Annex I data managed by Land Board was harmonized and made available through the INSPIRE compliant view services (WMS)
- Automated data transformation and updating
- Central data repository of INSPIRE harmonized data was created
- Estonian Geoportal was launched
- It was based on ESRI software
INSPIRE Implementation Projects
INSPIRE Implementation Projects
- Second project 2014-2016
Funded by EEA Grants – project partner Norway Kartverket
- Project goals were to:
- Update Annex I data to the latest data model and include data providers from other administrations in detailed level
- Harmonize data of Annex II and Annex III themes managed by Land Board and create WMS services
- Update existing converters and view services and create new converters and view services for new additional data
- Establish download services for all harmonized data (WFS and AtomFeed)
- Update hardware and software
- Improve usability of Estonian geoportal
- Collecting of metadata is centralized. Esri Geoportal Metadata engine is used in Estonian Geoportal.
- Every board or administration has appointed one authorized user, who is responsible for keeping metadata up to date.
- 167 metadata records
- 131 containing INSPIRE compliant metadata

Success Stories
X-GIS
- 2001 - First web map server launched for publishing cadaster data, ortophotos and topographic base map.
- Different thematic web map applications were created during these years: nature protection areas, heritage objects, road register data, detail planning data, …
- Functionality to create and manage spatial and alphanumeric data through the internet browser.
- Widely used to create and publish spatial data of different registers.
- Different INSPIRE theme data isavailable for viewing
Web Map Application for Data Publishing
- 2007 – new version of a map application was launched (X-GIS), based on open software and standards (Mapserver, WMS, WFS, Gazetteer, …)
- Main principles (Similar to INSPIRE principles):
- Avoid data duplication. Data is created once and made available through web services or X-Road (data Exchange layer or service between registries)
- Most up to date and accurate data is available directly from data producer
- X-GIS should be used as main GIS component in different public sector registries - avoid duplicative infrastructure reconstruction.
- National Heritage Board, Road Administration, Technical Regulation Authority and many others using X-GIS as main GIS application.
- Over the years more thematic web map applications have been created, containing INSPIRE (not harmonized) data.
Web Map Application for Data Publishing

Web Map Application X-GIS

Web Map Application X-GIS
Desktop version
Mobile version
Since 2016 (HTML5)http://xgis.maaamet.ee/maps/
- Most common and most used public sector map
application interface (but not the only one).
- Same user interface for more than 50+ thematic
map applications.
- A lot of thematic data, including INSPIRE data
(Orthophoto, cadastral boundaries, buildings,
addresses, geographical names, protected sites,
transport networks, hydrography, administrative
units, geology, elevation data, different registries
data etc) is available for free viewing in the same
map application.

- Metadata search and CSW
- Map window with available INSPIRE map layers
- INSPIRE information (law, reporting, …)
- Information about data providers
- Target: All meta- and spatial data in one portal

Success Stories
Web Services
- 2008 – Next to web map application free WMS services were created.
- Use of WMS services are free. If using, you have to
- refer to Estonian Land Board
- not overload the service
- Almost all layers (and even more) which are available through X-GIS map application are available through WMS services.
- WMS services proved to be very popular and are widely used for example as a base map in different web map applications and desktop software (GIS/CAD)

Free WMTS Services – Usage Statistics
- Used in most public sector web map applications• Public Transportation Portal http://www.peatus.ee/
• Forest Register http://register.metsad.ee/
• Tallinn map service http://kaart.tallinn.ee/
• Agricultural Register web portal https://kls.pria.ee/kaart/
• Portal for local authorities https://www.kovtp.ee/
• … and much more smaller portals
- And also in private sector map portals
- Delfi news portal map: http://kaart.delfi.ee/
- Number of mobile applications
- etc.
View Services
- HERE Maps testing Addresses WFS
service for automated address information
update- Problems with service speed
- Plan to extend data model with full address
INSPIRE Service User Case
Questions remain…
- Some themes contain some open and some restricted data. How to make download services partly freely available? Separate services?
- Completeness of downloaded dataset. What alphanumeric data should be included in download service response?
- WMS GetFetatureInfo – it is not mandatory to have GetFeatureInfo. What alphanumeric data should be included?
- Visual layout
Next Steps in INSPIRE Implementation
- Next INSPIRE project planned 2017-2018
- Annex III themes harmonization and
services
- Continuous update of available data and
data models (more data should be included)
- Tighter cooperation with other authorities is
needed (especially with Annex III)
- Negotiation with ESRI to include Annex III
data models into ArgGIS for INSPIRE
- Increase the usage of Estonian geoportal
- Increase the usage of INSPIRE services
Next Steps
Thank you! : Tänan!and
Be Inspired!
