INSPIRE Data Specifications Annex II & III Themes Collaboration with projects: LC & LU Maria Vanda Nunes de Lima Edinburgh 28 June- 1 st July 2011 1

Outline • INSPIRE Directive • Data Specifications- Interoperability of spatial data sets and services • Methodology • Where we are • Next steps INSPIRE progress 2 2

What is INSPIRE? 27 countries 21 languages General Distributed infrastructure rules for establishment “Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community” Environment 34 Spatial Data Themes Entry into force 15/5/2007 European legislation 3

Scope INSPIRE Directive • Spatial data held by or on behalf of a public authority operating down to the lowest level of government when laws or regulations require their collection or dissemination • INSPIRE covers 34 Spatial Data Themes laid down in 3 Annexes – required to successfully build environmental information systems 4

INSPIRE Legal Acts published in the Official Journal • Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) 14. 03. 2007 • INSPIRE Metadata Regulation 03. 12. 2008 • Commission Decision regarding INSPIRE monitoring and reporting 05. 06. 2009 • Regulation on INSPIRE Network Services 19. 10. 2009 (View and discovery) • Corrigendum to INSPIRE Metadata Regulation 15. 12. 2009 • Regulation on INSPIRE Data and Service Sharing 29. 03. 2010 • Commission Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 976/2009 as regards download services and transformation services 10. 12. 2010 • COMMISSION REGULATION implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 10. 12. 2010 (Annex I) • COMMISSION REGULATION amending Regulation 1089/2010 as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 05. 02. 2011 (code list) European law affecting 30+ countries, 21+ languages 5

INSPIRE’s participatory approach • • • To-date, over 650 organizations are registered as INSPIRE stakeholders – Providing experts, reference material, projects – Participate in user requirements survey – Participate in reviewing and testing of specifications – And learn from each other INSPIRE contributes to global solutions – INSPIRE is EU contribution to Global Earth Observation System of Systems Stakeholders participating in INSPIRE are international – Group on Earth Observations – United Nations Geospatial Information Working Group – Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS) of the United Nations – Euro. Geographics – World Meteorological Organisation Region VI grouping (RAVI) – WMO Global Runoff Data Centre • Stakeholders participating in INSPIRE are National • Stakeholders participating in INSPIRE are Projects Interested?

Development of data specification - step wise process Directive (2007) Modelling Framework for INSPIRE data specifications (2008) Part of the legal framework Implementation mandatory for European Member States Data specifications for the 9 Annex I data themes (2009) Data specifications for the 25 Annex II/III data themes (2012) Interoperability of spatial data sets and services (Implementing Rule) (2009. . 2012) 7

Use case development As-is analysis Gap analysis Identification of user requirements and spatial object types Data specification development Implementation, testing and validation Cost/benefit analysis Steps 1+6: *Use Case Development * Implementation, Test and Validation, Cost-Benefit Analysis Driver of the process. . . helps understand user requirements, and justify the current model structure Validation of use cases in: “Fitness for purpose testing”. . . D 2. 6 • The use cases and application scenarios for the environmental policies to be supported by the INSPIRE data specifications in this development cycle are identified. • The use cases are described in sufficient detail to clarify the requirements regarding the data 8 from the spatial data themes.

Data Specifications • Regulation published in Official Journal – COMMISSION REGULATION implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 10. 12. 2010 (Annex I) – COMMISSION REGULATION amending Regulation 1089/2010 as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 05. 02. 2011 (code list) • 9 Technical Guidelines published INSPIRE progress Annex I 1.

Who is involved • Thematic working groups -19 TWGs for Annex II&III – TWG Facilitators – TWG Editors – Domain experts • EC INSPIRE Team (INSPIRE CT = DG ENV, DG JRC, DG Eurostat) – Technical coordination = JRC INSPIRE team • Data Specifications Drafting Team (DS DT) • Stakeholders – Legally mandated organisations (LMOs) – Spatial data interest communities (SDICs) 11

Annex II/III Roadmap Kick-off: 19 -20. 04 2010 Data Specification v 1 (29. 10. 2010) Data Specification v 2 (06. 2011) Testing/Consultation (06 -20. 2011) Data Specification v 3 (04. 2012) Draft IR (10. 2012) II III 2010 IV I II III 2011 IV I II 2012 III 12

Now: Consultation & Testing 22 June- 21 October 2011 Two separate, but closely related activities: http: //inspire. jrc. europa. eu/index. cfm/pageid/201/consultatio n/45851 • Main aim of consultation: • – Comment the data specification documents (V. 2. 0) – Domain-specific aspects and Cross-thematic aspects (overlaps and gaps, inconsistencies) • Main aims of testing: To test data specifications (V 2. 0) against real spatial data – To report back to the INSPIRE CT and TWGs gained experience – • will be used to improve the data specifications for v 3. 0 • the basis for amendment of the Regulation on Interoperability of spatial data sets • Testing Kick off meeting done (22 June 2011 Exchange testing releated information 13

Consultation & Testing 22 June- 21 October 2011 • Documents for Consultation & Testing – D 2. 8. I. x Data Specification on <Theme Name> – Draft Guidelines: 24 PDF documents – D 2. 5 Generic Conceptual Model updates – D 2. 9 Guidelines for the use of Observations & Measurements and Sensor Web Enablement-related standards in INSPIRE Annex II and III data specification For Reference – GML Application Schemas: 1 ZIP archive – UML Model (XMI, EAP, HTML) – The “INSPIRE Data Specifications Cost-benefit considerations” document – INSPIRE Annex I testing summary report 14

Testing – Overview • Feasibility testing main focus of testing – measure technical feasibility and effort related to transforming existing data (e. g. , from Member States’ organisations) into data compliant with the requirements and schemas proposed in the data specification documents • Fitness for purpose testing – assess the benefits of harmonised data specifications from an enduser or application point of view • Provide cost-benefit information – Related to the testing – Contextual / not directly related to testing 15
