WISE technical developments and data exchange at EEA including ARC GIS and viewers (overview)

Starting from a gap analysis

Gap analysis – current state

Some remarks:• The analysis is still in progress• mainly based on a short term (roughly two-month) review of WISE

consisting of– discussions with EEA staff (mainly colleagues from IT and systems departments)– Discussions with ETC data managers– Second Implementation Plan of WISE 2011 – 2015– Rolling work plan WISE development 2nd generation (Version 2.0, October 2013)– Installation of SoE data (waterbase) and WFD data (Atkins) on a common (local)

platform (Oracle SQL)

• A detailed review of all data models was not possible in this short time but this will be the next step

• Marine data will be part of the review

Gap analysis - outline

The paper will follow this outline

1. What are the questions that can’t be answered with current WISE or why do we need WISE 2.0?– Example: Linkage between Nitrate directive data and diffusive SOE

data (in detail by Peter)

2. What are the main obstacles for answering integrated questions with WISE – gap analysis– Information is scattered and cannot easy be connected

3. First recommendations and next steps– Common workspace for different data (short presentation of the idea)

WISE implementation plan - I

• QA/QC - WFD is complex - Reportnet yes again, but develops more flexiblility (Søren Roug)- Eionet / directives not integrated

• SIIF/ distributed system partly mentioned – developed further (ENV, next presentation)

• Common work space for interoperability and targeted access (new)

• Functions for remote access, download and targeted retrieval

• Arc GIS – updated technology (session III)

• INSPIRE compliance to be further worked on for all directives (session IV)

6

Identified gaps

• QA/QC procedures in Reportnet should be impoved for WFD reporting (Søren Roug)

• Reporting formats for GIS data should be discussed (shapes vs.GML: session III, Andres Bastholm-Stæhr )

• Coding, unique identifiers and better quality assurance of GIS information

• Technical implications for progress reporting• Tracking of changes in WB deliniations (session III,

Niklas Holmgren)• Streamlining of SOER data flows and WFD data flow

Improved system architecture:common workspace

Advantages of a common workspace• Step forward to a common data structure for information pertaining to

all water directives• Enabling cross-cutting assessments of climate change, land use,

and biodiversity• Cross-assessments of the UWWTD, Nitrates directive and the BaWa

directive• Streamlining SoE and WFD data• Providing the same data for all WISE products: maps, datasets,

graphs• Update of data is immediately available for all products

Selected EEA products from the AWP 2014

• WISE upgrade– maintenance and review of all data bases, converging SOE and

directives (WFD, …)– Improved system architecture– Improved visualisation

Support from ETC is reflected in the task plan

Example: WFD data; easy visualization of different content data with ArcGiS Online

It is by no means easy to access and/or assess data from different datasets, although they may be content related. At least a part of them

have a common spatial reference.

A way out would be a common workspace for all data, accessible for users with granted rights.
