Annex XX

INSPIRE Indicators

-------------------------

MDi1 - a) How is the MDi1 indicator (Existence of Metadata) collected?

a) automated collection through metadata information 4 25%

b) through other automated process 4 25%

c) manually 8 50%

MDi1 - b) If "b" in the previous question, could you describe the process?

Germany: Some of the German states collect the monitoring information automatically through metadata, others collect the information manually.

UK: An automated management information report is run against our CKAN database (data.gov.uk). This produces a series of CSV reports. We take these reports and manually process them to populate the EC monitoring spreadsheet. This provides the indicator.

Anonymous: question is not clear: data are collected manually, indicator is computed in the EXCEL-file

MDi1 - c) Please provide comments regarding the indicator MDi1Spain: We don´t check it

Cyprus: Delay in collecting the information.

Greece: There is no way to make sure that the information we collect manually is real.

Belgium: At this moment, the information Existence of Metadata is collected manually using the monitoring Excel file which is distributed to the data providers. When retrieving the main part of the monitoring information through the CSW, this indicator will become obsolete (will always be 100%).

Finland: Information on non-existing metadata can't be collected automatically.

France: easy : by construction, the result is 100% as we check that every known datasets were in the FR SDI

Sweden: As only metadata published in the national geoportal is considered, this indicator is indeed redundant, especially from an automatic dashboard perspective. In Sweden, all data custodians are required by law to publish metadata for their data and services in the national geoportal. This means that this will always be 100 %

UK: We feel this indicator is not useful, in our case it is always 1 as we can only report a dataset or service if metadata exists due to the nature of our SDI.

Slovak republic: All indicators are collected via webform into database from which xls report is exported based on monitoring template. Anyway after export there is still need for manual check and update.Anonymous: not useful in future; you ask for the conformance to legal requirements - I am not sure if this makes sense

MDi1 - d) Should the indicator MDi1 be included in the dashboard?

a) yes 10 67%

b) no 5 33%

c) Yes under certain conditions 0 0%

Other 0 0%

MDi1,1/2/3 - a) How are the MDi1,1/2/3 indicators (Existence of Metadata for annexes I,II and III) collected?

a) automated collection through metadata information 4 27%

b) through other automated process 3 20%

c) manually 8 53%

Spain: We don´t check it

Cyprus: Useful. Rather hard to collect.

France: easy to compute as we use the validator integrated in the national geocatalogue

The Netherlands: we prefer one EU validation tool used by each MS the monitoring of this indicator should be based on this

Sweden: Metadata is validated before published in the national geoportal which means that the metadata published are always according to the INSPIRE requirements

UK: Metadata is only harvested to our SDI if it passes strict validation. Only records within our SDI are reported in the monitoring report, so the answer to this indicator is always 1.

DSi1 - c) Please provide comments regarding the indicator DSi1

Poland: difficult in collecting

Spain: We think, there will be a list of official geographical coverage. For instance the list of Eurostat surface

Cyprus: Useful. Time consuming.

Page 10: Europa › ... › download › 391 › A… · Web viewFinland: Information on non-existing metadata can't be collected automatically. France: Idem MDi1 [easy : by construction,

Italy: time consuming and not relevant

Finland: This information is hard to collect. Possibly not very useful information because INSPIRE itself doesn't require collecting new data.

France: impossible to get it at a reasonable cost. We never gave this indicator as we do not know how to get it.

Germany: The data providers have difficulties in understanding the indicator, especially what is meant by actual and relevant area. The required information to calculate the indicator can't be derived from metadata. This indicator is not very feasible to report the implementation status.

The Netherlands: it can be calculated if in the metadata the administrative unit it covers is added

Sweden: An extra metadata element has been included in the national metadata catalogue. The data custodians are required to fill this information in. This makes it easy to extract this information from the catalogue. See also the comment under D-B 10 [The information for “relevant area” and “actual area” in particular. The indicator doesn’t provide much information at all. Assume there are 250+ datasets on the list, which I think is a very modest assumption, all being captured to 100 % of its intended coverage. The overall indicator will then also show 100 %. One additional dataset will, for the short time data capture is in progress not change that overall 100 % significantly (20 % captured = 99.7 %, 50 % captured = 99.8 %, etc.). Also the indicator for usage of services need to be considered. This indicator cannot be captured automatically from the metadata. Some indicators are also redundant as they obviously exists, for instance will metadata always exist if it is extracted from the INSPIRE geoportal]

UK: This indicator is problematic for us as the only way we can collect it is to request our data providers provide it manually - and then we add it to the monitoring return manually. In previous years this hasn't been problematic as we have had low numbers of and experienced data publishers. However with the publication over a large quantity of aII data from a large number of less mature data publishers in 2013 this has become exceptionally burdensome. We are not able to provide this indicator in 2014.

Anonymous: indicator is usually 100%

Spain: We don´t check it

Cyprus: Useful. Time consuming.

Italy: time consuming and not relevant

Belgium: The value "Geographical coverage of spatial data sets" is useful and interesting for an individual dataset. You can see if a dataset is complete, or under construction and you can see the progress over the years. The surplus value of the indicator however, is not clear. What do we learn from this indicator? What is the purpose?

Spain: We don´t check it

Cyprus: Useful. Time consuming.

Belgium: All MS should use the same validation tools, which should be provided by the EC. It is discussable if only Y/N should appear in the dashboard per dataset/service, or maybe a percentage (e.g. 90% conform). Of course, this depends on the information you get back from the validation tools. Ideally, the dashboard should be connected with the validation tools, and perform a validation test on request or automatically on predefined times. Besides that, the validation tools should evidently be available ‘off line’ (meaning disconnected from the dashboard) for testing.

Finland: Conformity information is included in the metadata and is easily available there but this information can be provided without doing any validation on the actual data. The lack of validation perhaps makes this information a bit unreliable.

France: This indicator is under the producer's responsibilityThe Netherland: we prefer one EU validation tool used by each MS the monitoring of this indicator shoul be based on this

Sweden: The data custodians fill this in when publishing metadata for a dataset or service, as required by the IR for metadata. Current problems are the three options according to the IR whereby the option “not evaluated” isn’t catered for by the ISO standard used for metadata. There is a workaround for this, though

UK: We have not provided this indicator yet as we have not considered conformity of data. We would anticipate we would extract this from discovery metadata.Anonymous: the only really useful indicator until 2020

Cyprus: Useful.

Denmark: A link or some kind of connection information between data set and service (view and download) is missing and could be considered as part of the monitoring: There is now no connection between data set and its services - in other words: It is not possible to see where a data set is available and visible/view-able. In some cases the service provider naming their service so it is recognizable which data set the service provide but as the monitoring is now it is only the theme and annex that is indicated.

Belgium: Guidelines for MD will be necessary to enable automatic retrieval of this information via the MD (how to complete the 'online resources' fields?). The catalogue in the Flemish Geoportal http://www.geopunt.be/catalogus retrieves this information automatically from the MD. When you select a dataset in the catalogue, the button ‘bekijk op kaart’ (= view) and ‘download’ are directly connected with the MD of that datasets. When the online resources are filled in ‘correctly’ in the MD record, the buttons the Geopunt catalogue are activated automatically.

Finland: If service metadata doesn't exist or it's not complete this information has to be manually collected.

France: How to find Simple download services (ATOM or http/GET)? We check the URL syntax (in order to find most of the download services under Atom or other mode) but we obviously miss some.

Sweden: This is not done at the moment but can be deduced from the “Coupled resource” metadata element for services in the metadata implementing rule (1.6) Requires the functionality to be implemented in the Swedish Geodataportal which is under discussion. If the information are to be captured from the INSPIRE geoportal, this should be implemented there.

NSi3 - b) Please provide comments regarding the indicator NSi3

Poland: very hard to collect, no such mechanism available (specially with the period one year)

Cyprus: Useful.

Italy: Comparability issues between data providers

Greece: There might be a need to better define the "use". Is it the number of unique requests, the number of the unique visitors or the number of other applications that use the service? I am not sure that the service providers are sure about the number they (manually) provide.The monitoring of the actual uses of a service by other applications and portals might be more useful for the documentation of the benefits and the added value of an INSPIRE service. I thing that the benefits and the added value is the actual meaning of that indicator.

Finland: Useful information for following the service use statistics but hard to collect because it has to be manually collected from service providers.

France: No centralized information and too many public authorities; many servers have no statistic systems; The cost to get this information would not be reasonable

Germany: Most of the data providers can't provide this information, because it's not measured. So we assume "0" requests in such cases. Thus the value of the indicator is not reliable and doesn't say anything about the use of the services and the implementation status as well.

The Netherlands: is an alternative possible ; the use via the EU portal?

Sweden: A “receiving point” to which data providers can send log-files is under development and is expected to be functional this spring.

UK: Due to the federated nature of our SDI we are unable to gather this information automatically and have to write to all data publishers to obtain this information. This is a significant burden.We do not get a good response to this write round, and the data submitted in the report is often incomplete and of a poor quality. We would also question the value the information in this form to the Commission.
