2 The European data puzzle

3 The European data puzzle 24 official languages 3 official alphabets Different institutional setups Diverse data governance Celebrated diversity

4 Air Quality data exchange on EU level Broad spectrum of initiatives & projects Excellent results on project level, however Projects do end Full European coverage on finite scale is still a challenge On EU level still no operational capability for: Easy combination of data Across domains Across borders In near-realtime Mutual use of official data and such collected by citizens Combinations of all the above New EEA e-reporting on ambient air quality Operational from Jan 2014

5 Interdisciplinary perspective on Air Quality AQ is closely related to at least the following: Environmental Noise Same sources of AQ and noise pollution Health Exposure of population long term and short term Meteorology and Climate change Quality of life measures Ecosystem services

6 INSPIRE to the aid EU-wide SDI perspective on data Ultimate goal is to unlock spatial data and lay down foundations of European SDI INSPIRE is a Framework Directive Into force since 15 th of May 2007 Detailed technical provisions are laid down in: Implementing Rules on Metadata Spatial Data Network services Data and Service sharing (policy)

7 INSPIRE principles Data should be collected once Distributed Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Possible to combine data from different sources Focus on information relevant for governance Focus on reusability GI should be easily discoverable, together with its metadata

8 INSPIRE thematic scope Annex I 1. Coordinate reference systems 2. Geographical grid systems 3. Geographical names 4. Administrative units 5. Addresses 6. Cadastral parcels 7. Transport networks 8. Hydrography 9. Protected sites Annex II 1. Elevation 2. Land cover 3. Ortho-imagery 4. Geology Annex III 1. Statistical units 2. Buildings 3. Soil 4. Land use 5. Human health and safety 6. Utility and governmental services 7. Environmental monitoring facilities 8. Production and industrial facilities 9. Agricultural and aquaculture facilities 10.Population distribution demography 11. Area management/ restriction/regulation zones & reporting units 12. Natural risk zones 13. Atmospheric conditions 14. Meteorological geographical features 15. Oceanographic geographical features 16. Sea regions 17. Bio-geographical regions 18. Habitats and biotopes 19. Species distribution 20. Energy Resources 21. Mineral resources

9 A collaborative effort

10 INSPIRE Roadmap for Implementation 2020 All Annex II+III data 2012 Download and transformation services 2011 Discovery and view services 2010 Metadata Annex I and II 2018 All Annex I data 2015 New Annex II and III data interoperable 2013 New Annex I data interoperable, Harmonized conditions for access to data Metadata Annex III

11 Value added of INSPIRE Platform for establishment of partnerships Fully synchronized with other EU policies Re-use of public sector information (PSI, Directive 2003/98/EC) Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) principles Domain specific EU legislation (AQ directive, END directive, etc.) Built around Consensus of all stakeholders from: Domains Member States International standards CEN ISO Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)

12 Value added of INSPIRE Building blocks for interoperable SDI in the following context Cross-country Cross-domain Combination of the above Harmonization and standardization of environmental data across Europe (and beyond) Legally binding for public administrations with data in scope Business aspects of INSPIRE Rapidly growing geospatial sector Powered by INSPIRE conference

13 Relevant components Consolidated data model (extensible) Encoding into GML Coordinate and temporal reference systems UML model INSPIRE Metadata Enable the discovery of Data and Services in a SOA

14 Relevant components INSPIRE Registry Online service for common identifiers and definitions for data encoding purposes

15 Relevant components INSPIRE Network services In INSPIRE data should be made available where best managed 1. Discover Expose metadata through INSPIRE compliant discovery service 2. View Interactive view of data through an INSPIRE compliant data service Unified portrayal through OGC Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) 3. Download Web Feature Service Atom feeds 4. Transform ETL

16 Relevant components INSPIRE Geoportal Central access point to the INSPIRE infrastructure and resources ( ) The face of INSPIRE Connection to all MS network services cross-border data discovery and visualisation support to policy making

17 Key pillars of data interoperability Conceptual data models Encoding Harmonised vocabularies Registers objects types, properties & relationships cross-domain harmonization based on a common modelling framework managed in a common UML D2.5: repository Generic Conceptual Model conceptual models independent of concrete encodings standard encoding: GML, but also possible to derive other encodings (e.g. to overcome interoperability issues caused by free-text and/or multi-lingual content allow additional terms from local vocabularies provide unique and persistent identifiers for reference to resources described in INSPIRE Conceptual Framework documents D2.6:Methodology based on RDF) for Specification Development D2.7: Guidelines for Encoding D2.9: O&M Guidelines allow their consistent management and versioning D2.10.3: Common data models

18 JRC INSPIRE/Air Quality pilot Apply INSPIRE and Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) principles to Air Quality e-reporting to the EEA Close collaboration with European Environmental Agency DG Environment Volunteer Member State institutions

19 Project Outputs One reporting model, satisfying both the legally binding requirements of: 1. Extension of INSPIRE (2007/2/EC) data model with reporting obligations from Directives 2004/107/EC and 2008/50/EC as regards the reciprocal exchange of information and reporting on ambient air quality. Cross-border case study for the exchange of harmonized air quality data in near-real time (NL-BE) Open source reporting instruments INSPIRE compliant Sensor Observation Service (SOS) Air Quality Plans and Programs e-reporting tool Reflect lessons learned for INSPIRE evolution

20 Air Quality Plans and Programs e-reporting platform Platform for e-reporting in compliance with AQ directive implementing provisions High relevance to Appraisal FP7 project

21 Air Quality Plans and Programs e-reporting platform Open source solution Hierarchy of regional levels Multilingual Data Upload Exports into xml Fully compliant with Directives 2004/107/EC and 2008/50/EC
