1 INSPIRE Conference 2016 Barcelona, Spain 26th 30th September 2016 The European Forum for Geospatial Statistics Benefits and challenges of INSPIRE in the field of statistics Janusz Dygaszewicz EFGS President Director of the Programming and Coordination of Statistical Surveys Department Central Statistical Office of Poland

2 WHAT IS THE EFGS Since1998 a network of experts primarily working in European National Statistical Organizations (NSO). Network consist mainly GIS specialists but also statisticians, researchers and employees of mapping authorities. EFGS is open to all GIS experts. All activities are conducted on voluntary basis. Work is done by devoted experts with visionary ideas about linking statistical data with spatial data. In October last year we received the status of official Observer Organization to United Nations Global Geospatial Information Mangement for Europe, UN-GGIM:Europe 2

3 EFGS ACTIVITIES The main goal is to promote the integration of statistical and geospatial information; EFGS acts as a reference group for Eurostat and the project group supporting development of GIS in National Statistical Organizations on the basis of GEOSTAT grants founded by Eurostat; Supporting UN-GGIM and Eurostat by participation of EFGS experts in the activity focused on integration of statistical and geospatial information; Every year we organize professional conferences this year: Paris, November; Regularly produce strategy documents on various aspects regarding the integration of statistical and geospatial information and taking into consideration INSPIRE guidance; 3

4 EFGS WORK PROGRAM Create of a point-based spatial reference framework for official statistics as the fundament for dissemination of statistical data on grid system and any other chosen area; Establish strong partnership among NSO and NMCAs on equal terms; Increase participation of European geospatial experts in the activities of the EFGS, e.g. in the EFGS conferences; A fully geocoded census 2021 (preferably to the x,y coordinates); Establish an object oriented statistical-geospatial information system for supporting creation of indicators for Sustainable Development Goals (according to the Agenda 2030), ranging from local to global; 4

5 EFGS MOST IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT the program is implemented through: works within several projects supported by Eurostat: GEOSTAT 1 and 2 Merging statistics and geospatial information in Member States Main product: the GEOSTAT 2011 population grid on the Eurostat website: The grid contains the total residential population on the date of the census

10 EFGS MAIN CHALLENGES Supporting Eurostat and NSIs for geocoding of the 2021 population and housing census; Harmonization statistical reference system with geodesy reference system on the basis of Global Statistical Geospatial Model and our new proposal of The 10 Levels Model ; Create strategy for stable cooperation with: UN-GGIM: Europe, JRC, National Mapping Agencies and other key stakeholders; Prepare common spatial statistical indicators for Sustainable Development Goals; Supporting implementation of GIS in public statistics according to the INSPIRE directive guidance. 10

11 INSPIRE services on Geostatistics Portal in Poland Statistics Poland is a leading authority on two themes of spatial data in Annex III of the INSPIRE Directive: GEO.STAT.GOV.PL statistical units SU population distribution (demography) PD 11

12 GSGF Global Statistical Geospatial Framework High-level, generic framework that consists of five principles that are considered essential for integrating geospatial and statistical information 12 GSGF prepared by Australian Bureau of Statistics and approved by UN-GGIM on August 2016

13 The 10 Levels Model unique identifiers system 13 Personal proposition of Janusz Dygaszewicz CSO Poland

14 Proposition of European application of Global Statistical Spatial Framework Accessible & Usable Interoperable data and metadata standards Geostatistics portals INSPIRE Common geographies for dissemination of statistics Geocoded unit record data in a data management environment The 10 Level Model for harmonization of statistical and geodesy reference framework Use of fundamental geospatial infrastructure and geocoding
