Agenda

GSDI in Europe - INSPIRE

Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe


Memorandum of understanding between

Commissioners Wallstróm, Solbes, Busquin11 April 2002

The European Sustainable Development Strategy advocates a new

approach to policy-making through more coherence in the Community

policies. An information base that provides detailed relevant harmonised

spatial information for different policy areas and that is commonly

accessible could significantly contribute to this objective.

Currently, exploitation of the potential of GI is hampered by lack of

standards, of data and of a coherent data policy. A Community initiative to

address these difficulties could unlock a vast potential of information and

information services...

Standardisation of GI services would furthermore open up new ways of

communication, narrowing the gap between Europe and its citizens.© 2005 by ies


• Data policy restrictions– pricing, copyright, access rights, licensing policy

• Lack of co-ordination– across boarders

– between levels of government

• Lack of standards and their use– incompatible information

– incompatible information systems

– fragmentation of information

– redundancy

• Lack of data

Geo-spatial and Environmental information in Europe: State of the Art

EU has islands of

data of different

standards and

quality...

© 2005 by ies


Overall context

• Increasing calls for more information to support environmental policies at European and MS level

• Difficulties to manage existing information flows and obtain timely, accurate and policy-relevant information

• Need to take into account differentiation across regions with respect to the state of the environment

• Revision of approach to reporting and monitoring, moving to concept of sharing of information

• Spatial information plays a special role: early action needed

establishing an infrastructure for spatial

information in the Community - INSPIRE © 2005 by ies


Current Situation

• From Commission proposal to Community Directive implementation - 3 phases:– Preparatory phase (2004-2006)

• Co-decision procedure

• Preparation of Implementing Rules

– Transposition phase (2007-2008)• Directive enters into force

• Transposition into national legislation

• INSPIRE Committee starts its activities

• Adoption of Implementation Rules by Committology

– Implementation phase (2009-2013)• implementation and monitoring of measures

Requirements for a ESDI

• Harmonized geodetic reference

• Metadata for discovery of existing data

• Harmonized geodata and geo-services

• Bundle geodata and geo-services within one European portal

• Handle access rights and licensing policies for all users

• Controlling and monitoring of the implementation within the EU member states

• Methodology for building up a ESDI (considering process, consensus process, decision making etc.)

• Keep data where it is collected and maintained and make itaccessible for other using geo-web services (WMS, WFS etc.)

• All these issues are addressed by the INSPIRE framework directive and the implementation rules

A European spatial data infrastructure

basically needs (strategic view)


Preconditions for a SDI (data modelling view)

• Model-driven approach for describing the data

• Semantic harmonization of the existing data as far as

possible and sufficient (feature catalogues)

• Application of the ISO standards for data modelling

and encoding

• Implementation of metadata information systems for discovery

and access to the data

• Implementation of interoperable web services for

data access distribution (ISO, OGC)

• Operational issues (registries etc.)

• Legal issues (data sharing, IPR etc.)

• Pricing

AAA data model

Contribution of the AAA Model to the European SDI


• Model-driven Approach is promoted for a ESDIRecommendations are listed in the Technical Report CEN/TR 15449

“Geographic information - Standards, specifications, technical reports

and guidelines, required to implement Spatial Data Infrastructures”

• Unified Modelling Language (UML)

• Use international Standards

• Determine ISO-profiles for specific domains

• Generic Structure of the AAA data model

• Baseline for thematic application schemas: The AAA

Basic Schema

• Data about data: Metadata

• AdV Web Services

Generic Structure of the AAA data model


Conclusions

• The AAA data model with the basic schema offers a thematic-independent and generic model framework that can be a baseline for modelling of other thematic domain data models. That will help to standardise the geoinformation in Germany.

• A SDI for geoinformation (not just geodata) needs an exact and transparent definition of the sharable data. Therefore the same methodology as defined with the AAA data model can be used.

• The AdV offers support by using the UML tools for defining the data model and deriving the data exchange interface. Specific guidelines have been published on the AdV home page. The AdV guaranties maintenance at least until 2012.

• The AAA data model consequently meets the requirements of a data-centric view on a SDI.

• INSPIRE is going to implement a similar modelling methodology based on ISO standards.

• The success of the AAA data model bases on the consequent use of international GI standards from ISO.

Economic Benefits of Standardisation

- Summary of results -

• The benefit to the national economy amounts to more than

US $ 15 bn per year

• Standards contribute more to economic growth than

patents and licences

• Companies that participate actively in standards work have

a head start on their competitors in adapting to market

demands and new technologies.

• Transaction costs are lower when European and

International Standards are used.

• Research risks and development costs are reduced for

companies contributing to the standardization process.
