1 Roadmap to interoperability of geoinformation and services in Europe Paul Smits, Alessandro Annoni European Commission Joint Research Centre Institute for Environment and Sustainability

2 we have islands of data of different standards and quality... European data?

3 Examples of Problems Data policy restrictions pricing, copyright, access rights, licensing policy Lack of co-ordination across boarders between levels of government Lack of standards and their use incompatible information incompatible information systems fragmentation of information redundancy Lack of data In summary: no spatial data infrastructure

4 INSPIRE INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Need for action! Without a co-ordinated framework as minimum common denominator for all Member States the problems will persist. INSPIRE launched in September 2001.

5 European Spatial Data Infrastructure Different Policies and standards 5 cm/year ITRF93 NNR-NUVEL1A Europe is moving 3cm/ year GI Institutional framework Spatial Data Infrastructure GI technical standards Different sea levels in Europe Meteo data Fundamental and thematic GI data sets Spatial Information Services Catchments Need to create pan- European spatial data sets Land Cover eeurope : egovernement on line GIS to manage Natura2000 sites

6 INSPIRE Characteristics Legal initiative Framework long term vision step by step implementation Multi-sectoral and multi-level More than just data it includes documentation, means to discover, access, evaluate,.. it includes organizational agreements needed to coordinate/ administer at various scales it influences both data collection and application development through minimal appropriate standards and policies

7 Relationships ENVIRONMENTAL - REPORTING- Thematic Strategies Sustainable Development e.g. RISK ASSESMENT & MANAGEMENT obligation Define needs for Spatial Data implementation Monitoring Systems EUROPEAN SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE -INSPIRE - Applications Global Monitoring for Environment and Security - GMES examples EEA REPORT-NET EU REPORTING PORTAL Applications deliver information for EU policies Indicators on Sustainable Development FLOODS information systems FOREST FIRE information systems Emergency Response Decision support systems

8 The INSPIRE driving forces DG ENV COGI Commission DG s (AGRI, TREN, REGIO, FISH, INFSO, ) INSPIRE Expert Group Member States Environmental and geographic information ministries, Accession countries, Regions, EFTA Countries, Umbrella organisations, ETC/TE, ESPON, UNEP

9 INSPIRE objectives Make relevant, harmonised spatial data available for Community Environmental Policy (formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation) and for the citizen... through the establishment of integrated spatial information services, based upon a distributed network of databases, linked by common standards and protocols to ensure compatibility.

10 INSPIRE principles The following principles govern INSPIRE and would be included in the legislation: a) that spatial data should be collected once and maintained at the level where this can be done most effectively b) that it must be possible to combine seamlessly spatial data from different sources across the EU and share it between many users and applications c) that it must be possible for spatial data collected at one level of government to be shared between all the different levels of government d) that spatial data needed for good governance should be available on conditions that are not restricting its extensive use e) that it should be easy to discover which spatial data is available, to evaluate its fitness for purpose and to know which conditions apply for its use.

11 INSPIRE Information Flow Data resources Local data National and Subnational SDI INSPIRE specifications request for information services Discovery Service Technical Integration/ harmonisation Users Government & Administrations Utility & Public Services Commercial & Professional Users National and Subnational SDI European Data Harmonised Data policy Research European Data National and Subnational SDI SDI Spatial Data Infrastructure Local data Collaborative agreements delivery of information services ISO NGOs and not-for-profit orgs Citizens

12 Towards an Infrastructure for Spatial Information From discovery to Full Interoperability Standardisation Harmonisation Integration Metadata Discovery Service Data Policies Licensing Framework Coordinating structures Geodetic Framework Seamless data Quality insurance Certification Updating Data model Catalog Services View Service Query Service Object Access Service Generalisation Services Geo-Processing services

13 INSPIRE architecture model User applications Clients Access to transformed data, pictures, maps, reports, multi-media content Metadata search and retrieval for data and services Service chaining: search, display, access, e- commerce,. Middleware Catalogs Metadata update Geo-processing and catalog Services Direct data access Content Repositories Other data e.g., administrative, statistical, env. reporting Geospatial data Servers

14 Model for strategy Within-community consensus on interoperability High Preimplementation phase Step type % of INSPIRE vision realized Low 2003 Step type 1 Implementation phase Low High Between-community consensus on interoperability

15 Project control involving users, suppliers and technology developers. Organisation Risk INSPIRE oriented sub-projects Money Time EU portal, with demonstration pilots linking to national and regional levels Quality Information This we can influence in the preimplementation phase

16 INSPIRE implementation vision Within community consensus on interoperability High 2009 (e.g., WFD) % of INSPIRE vision realized 2004 (e.g., WFD metadata) Metadata profile for thematic user groups Common thematic data models 2004 Common reference data EU Geo-portal models Low Specifications catalogue service / search protocol Low High Cross-community consensus on interoperability

17 Inter-related related Standards and Specification Support Distributed Geoprocessing OMG ISO ESDC OGC Distributed Geoprocessing IETF W3C OASIS CEN Helping the World to Communicate Geographically

18 Towards a European Specification and Standards Infrastructure for GI Standards Standards Harmonisation Requirements Organization Scope National GI Standards Bodies European Member States CEN, OGC, and ISO Proposed Bodies of INSPIRE European Union CEN, OGC and ISO Digital Geographic Information Working Group European Committee For Standarisation (CEN) Regional Permanent Committee on GIS Infrastructure for Asia and Pacific ISO, OGC, W3C International Organisation For Standarisation (ISO) Open GIS Consortium International CEN, W3C, IETF and Other Industry Groups Helping the World to Communicate Geographically

19 Consensus process on interoperability JRC to host ISO/TC211 in October 2004 ISO/TC211 JRC supports the revival of CEN/TC287 JRC currently co-chair of ISO/TC211-OGC Joint Advisory Group CEN/TC287

20 Standards for Spatial Data Infrastructures Standards Access, technology Content (data) Organization Education Documentation Standards ISO / TC 211 Website ISO/TR Qualifications and certification of personnel ISO Conceptual schema language ISO Spatial schema ISO Temporal schema ISO Rules for application schema ISO Feature cataloguing methodology ISO Spatial referencing by coordinates ISO Spatial referencing by geographic identifiers ISO Quality principles ISO Quality evaluation procedures ISO Metadata ISO/TR Imagery and gridded data ISO Schema for coverage geometry and functions ISO Imagery and gridded data components ISO Profile - FACC Data Dictionary ISO Geodetic codes and parameters ISO Imagery, gridded and coverage data framework ISO Sensor and data model for imagery and gridded data ISO Data product specification ISO Generally used profiles of the spatial schema and of similar important other schemas

21 Foundation OpenGIS Services Helping the World to Communicate Geographically

22 Preparatory phase, Development of the Technical Specifications Standards ISO, CEN, OGC,... Architecture EU Portal, Catalog Services, WMS,.. Data model (s) Semantic Interoperability,..... through harmonisation projects under FP6. INSPIRE Guidelines harmonised documentation of existing datasets (metadata) Implementation guidance Spatial Interest Groups cookbook

23 INSPIRE Outlook September 2002 : final position papers March 2003 May 2003 July 2003 October ? : Internet consultation : Extended impact assessment : Interservice consultation : Adoption of proposal by Commission : Adoption of INSPIRE Framework legislation : Implementation of framework

24 Conclusions and critical issues Coordination with existing and new Spatial Interest Groups matching requirements & short term expectations, deadline, cross-interactions,.. SIGs competition Use of R&D funding Call for proposal, research aspects to be included, thematic goal,.. Coordination with National, Regional, Local SDI initiatives missing National coordination, different level of awareness,... Multi-Sector Synergy with EC funded projects
