GI and EU Cohesion

� GI and EU Cohesion

� Support Good governance: define strategies - implement and monitor

review –GI web based infrastructure

� Support good Management: Suport public and private enterprises managing

their business in an European geografical context making local adjustments

according to local specific requirements.

� Being aware of available data of their ability to help problem solving

� The EU role to increase GI potential

� Increasing data fitness for diffrent purposes - INSPIRE

GI and EU Cohesion� Web services and GI main constraints

� Producer:▪ Property

▪ Maintaince: data, human resources

▪ Data management: size, vizulaisation,...

▪ Metadata : profile

▪ Cost

▪ Oficial data (IGP-Portuguese Geographical Institute)

▪ meet the legal purpose?

▪ meet data specifications?

▪ Are usefull? Could be more usefull for good governance, for private business? How?

� User:▪ Understand relevance

▪ fit my purpose? In weach extent? For how long?

▪ Time to understand data fitness

▪ Be able to deal with technology

▪ Several perperctives for problem solving

U GI and EU Cohesion - INSPIRE: relevance

� Provide EU with a powerful information infrastructure that allows better policy- and

decision-making

� Data Integration - compatible datasets across Europe

� Help understanding existing datasets and fitness for purpose

� Raised problems when studying evolution over time

� Provide adequate data to deal with several different matters as:

� the environment,

� Mobility

� public works

� health control

� emergency and disaster management,

� natural or humanitarian crises

� Stimulate the development of a European-wide market for Geographic Information and

related web based applications

� Improve the quality of public participation - access to relevant information required to

build informed opinions- participative democracy .

GI and EU Cohesion - INSPIRE: constraints

� Member states have different stages of development and particular legal frameworks

� Cost/ benefit – INSPIRE has to show it is useful

� Data – spatial data have different structures and metadata profiles:

� data integration

� data update- Time series

� Users knowledge- do they understand/feel the need?

� Show its essential for decision making

� How to make the approach sustainable? cost

Briseide main goal� BRISEIDE is an ICT Policy Support Programe project within EU's. It involves 15 EU

partners on the development of spatio-temporal web processes for geospatial

application.

� The spatial analysis developed tools will be accessible on the Web and will be available

within compatible Web GIS applications.

� The BRISEIDE relevant deliverables include:

� Time aware extension for data models developed within relevant INSPIRE related

projects;

� Value added services for spatio-temporal authoring, analysing, processing and

visualization of information;

� Application prototypes based on the integration of existing user operational

information in order to achieve specific research goals- IQ2U

IQ2U – and GI Cohesion: main contributionsThis project:

• Evaluates urban growing and its impact in environmental quality –promote more effective

land use planning creating economic grow.

• Contributes to better understand in what extent the planning process has been relevant in

promoting sustainable development in urban areas.

• Contributes to understand INSPIRE relevance and INSPIRE constraints

• Shows users the relevance of understanding data quality when reporting the

accomplishment of EU legal Framework like the EIA Environmental Impact Assessment,

the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directives, the water framework Directive or

the Air Framework Directive. (Evolution over time is crucial)

• Shows the relevance of GI web based infra-structures for decision making • Understand problems raised

• Understand relevance of making different data approaches

Conclusions� IQ2U within BRISEIDE show the relevance of GI web based infra-

structures have for decision making and their contribution to

understand in a holistic approach problems raised within socio-

economic grow and sustainable resources management.

� Inputs to EU and portuguese legal framework monitoring and

accomplishement

� Inputs to INSPIRE improvement approach

▪ GI infrastructures help dealing with complex problems

▪ Briseide shows the relevance of working with several datasets integrating time and space in

order to better understand and solve complexe problems

▪ Understanding Cost/benefit of GI ~ enlarge markets and users (pulic and private)

� Develop tools that help users understandind fitness for purpose of

available data

� Create new users –expand the GI market
