1 European Directive (2007/2/EC) INSPIRE sharing soil data in interoperable way EIONET Workshop on Soil, Ispra, 10 th -12 th December 2012 Robert Tomas, Ph.D European Commission Joint Research Centre Digital Earth and Reference Data Unit Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation

2 Why Europe needs a spatial data infrastructure (SDI)? Natural Disasters and as well as other environmental phenomena do not stop at national borders! 20% of the EU citizens (115 million) live within 50 Km from a border 70% of all fresh water bodies in Europe are part of a trans-boundary river basin!!

3 Building a European SDI is complex Europe is a patchwork of several countries with different traditions, cultures and socioeconomic models This is reflected in the different ways in which geospatial data is managed

4 Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community -INSPIRE Directive INSPIRE lays down general rules to establish an infrastructure for spatial information in Europe for the purposes of Community environmental policies and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment. INSPIRE based on the infrastructures for spatial information established and operated by the Member States INSPIRE is a distributed infrastructure. INSPIRE does not require collection of new spatial data INSPIRE does not affect existing Intellectual Property Rights Entry into force 15 May 2007

5 INSPIRE Components INSPIRE is a Framework Directive Detailed technical provisions are laid down in Implementing Rules on Metadata Interoperability of spatial data sets and services Network services (discovery, view, download, transform, invoke) Data and Service sharing (policy) Coordination and measures for Monitoring & Reporting Once adopted, Implementing Rules become European legislative acts and national law in 27 Member States and in some EFTA countries

6 INSPIRE - current Legal framework Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (INSPIRE) INSPIRE Metadata Regulation Commission Decision regarding INSPIRE monitoring and reporting Regulation on INSPIRE Network Services (View and discovery) Corrigendum to INSPIRE Metadata Regulation Regulation on INSPIRE Data and Service Sharing Commission Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 976/2009 as regards download services and transformation services COMMISSION REGULATION implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services (Annex I) COMMISSION REGULATION amending Regulation 1089/2010 as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services (code lists)

11 Data interoperability The starting point user user Access to spatial data in various ways User has to deal with interpreting heterogeneous data in different formats, identify, extract and post-process the data he needs lack of interoperability dataset dataset dataset

12 Data interoperability user Network Service Network Service user Network Service dataset dataset dataset... and what INSPIRE is aiming at Provide access to spatial data via network services and according to a harmonised data specification to achieve interoperability of data! Datasets used in Member States may stay as they are! Data or service providers have to provide a transformation between their internal data model and the harmonised data specification

21 INSPIRE Soil data theme Definition: Soils and subsoil characterised according to depth, texture, structure and content of particles and organic material, stoniness, erosion, where appropriate mean slope and anticipated water storage capacity. [Directive 2007/2/EC] To develop a specification of soil data to be shared, both within the soil domain and across domain borders for the Spatial Data Infrastructure of Europe.

22 Scope Soil inventories, providing one-off assessments of soil conditions and/or soil properties at certain locations and at a specific point in time, and allow soil monitoring, providing a series of assessments showing how soil conditions and/or properties change over time. Soil mapping, providing a spatial presentation of the properties linked to the soils, including soil types; typically, soil maps are derived with the help of data available in soil inventories. Also other soil related information derived from soil properties, possibly in combination with non-soil data are within the scope.

23 Methodology INSPIRE methodology (D 2.6.) was followed - analysis of reference material received from stakeholders (e.g. GS Soil, esoter etc..) 15 Use cases were studied and are described in detail in the TG (annex B) covering: Agri-Environmental Indicators (3x) Thematic maps derived from Soil information (7x) Contaminated sites (4x) Soil monitoring (1x)

24 Soil & EU regulations

25 INSPIRE Soil data model One soil data model defines following major spatial object types: Soil profile (both observed and derived) Profile element (including soil layer and soil horizon) Soil Body Soil Derived Object (including both representation types) Soil Site Soil Plot Extensions (in the TG Annex C,D): Draft model for managing information related to contaminated sites as a possible extension to the INSPIRE data model Soil (not to be part of legislation) Provision of soil thematic map elaborated Use case how to provide soil organic carbon content by using the INSPIRE Soil data model

28 Semantic interoperability WRB (World reference base for soil resources 2006, first update 2007 ) is used as standard soil type classification system; however it is made possible to use national classification systems (additional) FAO (Guidelines for soil description, 4th edition, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Rome, 2006, pp ) is used for Soil horizon classification Re-using of classification schemas from geology related to the Soil layer rock and genesis descriptions

29 Soil parameters in the model Important parameters in the model due to adopted EU Regulations: Soil profile: WRB name (or national soil type), potential root depth, available water capacity, carbon stock, water drainage Profile element: particle size fraction, organic carbon content, N, ph, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, Ni Soil derived object: potential root depth, available water capacity, carbon stock, water drainage, particle size fraction, organic carbon content, N, ph, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, Ni, Zn Soil site: any chemical, biological, physical properties The integration specialisation of the generic O&M ISO standard to provide soil measurement information

33 In Summary INSPIRE is now! MSs are implementing Inspire compliant services. The 2012, 2015, 2017 and 2020 deadlines for Annex I, II & III mean that work to comply with INSPIRE needs to be starting now. INSPIRE is an opportunity - widens the use of data held by thematic environmental communities. INSPIRE is a multi-purpose infrastructure Activities on-going to re-use INSPIRE in other policy areas (Digital Agenda for Europe, WFD ) INSPIRE facilitates the use of international standards (ISO, CEN, OGC, WRB, FAO) as well as taking active part in their development e.g. OGC GWML 2.0 Interoperability experiment

34 Coordination Transparency and inclusiveness Stakeholder consultations Support to Member States on the implementation Extend INSPIRE to and ensure consistency of different policy domains Promote INSPIRE in international standardisation
