INSPIRE – What is it?

INSPIRE: INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe

What? INSPIRE Directive (2007) transposed at the national and regional levels

in Belgium

Who? Public authorities

Aim? Better facilitate public access to spatial data related to the

environment across Europe

Which data? Spatial data which can be used in environmental studies/policies

INSPIRE – Annexes

INSPIRE – Deadlines

INSPIRE - Common principles

Data should be collected only once and kept where it can be maintained most effectively

It should be possible to combine seamless spatial information from different sources across Europe and share it with many users and applications

It should be possible for information collected at one level/scale to be shared with all levels/scales; detailed for thorough investigations, general for strategic purposes

Geographic information needed for good governance at all levels should be readily and transparently available

Easy to find what geographic information is available, how it can be used to meet a particular need, and under which conditions it can be acquired and used

Harmonize your data with FME…

Why FME for harmonization

• The most complete tool for creating,

distributing and using INSPIRE

compliant data

• No Coding! No XSLT!

• Flexible – Ready for Annex I, II and III

• Not a black box

• Stable

• Schema mapping – hard problem that

FME makes easier and automates

Share your data with FME

Publication

Produce inspire compliant GML

Offer as

« predefined datasets » using FME Server implementing WFS 2.0 with

stored queries

« predefined datasets » using FME Server implementing Atom feeds and

opensearch

Direct access services using FME implementing WFS 2.0

integrate with your Geo web server of choice (Geoserver, Mapserver, etc…)

Implementation

Conclusions INSPIRE:

Can be very hard (several data providers, output schema

complex,…)

Time is running and deadlines are defined

Specialists in Geo-data can do the job for you

It’s time to take action in your organization (POC, budget,…)

FME: Most complete tool

to be compliant with INSPIRE

Also for all other harmonization tasks
