SPANISH GOOD (AND NO SO GOOD) PRACTICES IMPLEMENTING INSPIRE

HELLO! I am Emilio López I am here because I am the Director of the National Centre for Geographic Information You can find me at elromero@fomento.es 2

1 st Best Practice Aerial Orthophoto National Plan 3

Whole Spanish territory covered by orthophotography each three years, at 25 or 50 cm resolution, and by LiDAR coverage each 6 years 4

COOPERATION & COFUNDING Among different organizations at different levels. Increasingly, more products, more resolution, more regular (Aerial, Satellite images, LiDAR, Land Use). 5

BUT Every year we have to reach new agreements (600 already signed). We don t have a comprehensive budget plan. We don t have something similar for vector data. We are not able to take full advantage of these data. 6

2 nd Best Practice Reference Geographic Information 7

The map has died. Long live geographic information 8

CHANGING THE PRODUCTION From a map orientation production process to a INSPIRE one 9

FORMER PRODUCTION PROCESS Orthophotos Vector data capture Not topology 2D Splitted into sheets Several scales topographic database products Paper maps Files for downloading Web services 10

NEW PRODUCTION PROCESS Orthophotos LiDAR Vector data capture Topology & network 3D High resolution Better QC INSPIRE compliant INSPIRE database products Topographic databases Paper maps Files for downloading Web services 11

BUT Last years we have focused all our resources in the process transformation and we decided to stop almost any revision. And, nowadays, our data are very outdated. We have printed maps with more than 10 years and a very old addresses database So, next years we have to update our databases using the new processes. 12

3 rd Best Practice Open Data 13

8.477.214 Files downloaded from the Web Download Center (1 st semester 2017) 14

BETTER SERVICE TO CITIZENS More visibility for citizens and public and private organizations. Year after year, more downloads, more open and more different datasets available. Improving the Download Data Center, more friendly, more functionalities. 15

NEW DOWNLOAD WEB CENTRE 16

NEW DOWNLOAD WEB CENTRE 17

BUT Not financial returns. Not good knowledge about our customers. 18

4 th Best Practice Implementing INSPIRE 19

As much as possible, we don t implement INSPIRE services and National services, we adapt National services to be INSPIRE compliant. 20

BUT 18 INSPIRE services from IGN: 1 CSW 7 view services 10 download services Open services Whole coverage 9 INSPIRE themes 21

FOR INSTANCE OPENSTREETMAPS 33

FOR INSTANCE OPENSTREETMAPS CONS Playing NMCA role. Very strict data licenses. Credits very hide. PROS The most important VGI source. Spreading IGN data. Data quality control. Reusable software 34

NEXT STEPS Vector tiles. Semantic Web. They are not only ideas, we are working on these topics and, always, thinking from the INSPIRE point of view. 38

CONCLUSIONS Coordination, coordination,coordination (unless you have enough money). Be famous. Open your data. Use your resources for providing more intelligent geographic information. Persue your customers to use INSPIRE services and, please, tell me how to do it. Google, OSM, Bing, allies or opponents? 3D, vector tiles, semantic web inside or outside INSPIRE? I prefer inside. 39
