14 EuroGeographics Develop infrastructure to integrate the NMCA geographical information Invest around 1,5 billion each year in GI Create, maintain and make available quality geoinformation Deliver the definitive European Location Framework Employ more than professionals Use cutting edge technology

15 The European Location Framework

16 The European Location Framework Additional and Thematic data E.L.F Global dataset E.L.F. Regional dataset Members Master Sources ECRINS Urban Atlas Corine Land Cover Reference data Generalization process Conformance testing Generalization process Conformance testing Quality Evaluation Points of Interest Navtech/Teleatlas Annex II & III Topo + Cadastre EG+National mapping and cadastral agencies Urban Rural Remote Admin Hydro Transport Other Topo Addresses Buildings DEM, Landcover, Geographical Names, Ortho, Cadastral Parcels Reference data Services Edge-matching service (EuroXBoundary) Quality evaluation service EuroGeoCloud Reference data services (view,download) Registry services Joint services Service Integration SEIS INSPIRE Commission Service GMES Reference Data Service Commercial Service Integrators Interface EuroGeo Info EU Geoportal Google Maps Yahoo

17 Benefits of the E.L.F. - Data linked to a common, maintained location framework - Cross domain consistency - Consistency between themes - Better up-to-dateness - Consistency between resolutions. - Quality conformance levels and metadata - Unique identifiers

18 E.L.F work in progress EuroGeographics internal project for E.L.F. E.L.F. Task Force Implementing ESDIN results internally: Generalization EGM from ERM, ERM admin from EBM and EGM admin from EBM ERM based on E.L.F. specs in 2013 EuroGeoNames based on new architecture and lauch in 2012 Project proposal for ICT-PSP call
