Joint Research Centre
The Mission… is to provide customer-driven scientific and technical support for the conception, development, implementation and monitoring of EU policies. As a service of the European Commission, the JRC functions as a reference centre of science and technology for the Union.
Close to the policy-making process, it serves the common interest of the Member States, while being independent of special interests, whether private or national.
The Vision…is to be a trusted provider of science-based policy options to EU policy makers to address key challenges facing our society, underpinned by internationally recognised research.

Open Geospatial Information Day, 8 December 2010 6
INSPIRE – a European Directive
General rules to establish an infrastructure for spatial information in Europe • Community environmental policies• Policies or activities which impact on the environment
To be based on SDIs established and operated by the Member States• INSPIRE is a distributed infrastructure
Does not require collection of new spatial data
Does not affect existing Intellectual Property Rights
Entry into force 15 May 2007EGU 2010 6

Spatial data - key requirement in the INSPIRE Directive
Article 7(1) requires:• „Implementing rules laying down technical
arrangements for the interoperability and, where practicable, harmonisation of spatial data sets and services, [...]“

Data-related requirements – highlights
Provision of spatial data from 34 themes in an interoperable way• Consistent classification and geo-referencing of spatial data• Harmonised locations
For spatial objects of the Annex I & II themes also:• Identification• Key characteristics• Temporal aspects• Relationships between spatial objects• Updates
Feasibility, costs and benefits have to be considered
EGU 2010 9
Open Geospatial Information Day, 8 December 2010 10
Data-related requirements – highlights
Requires access to spatial data held by or on behalf of a public authority
Spatial data available in conformance between 2012-2017 (Annex I) or 2014-2019 (Annex II/III)• Dates are subject to changes depending on when the
implementing rule enters into force
EGU 2010 10

Interoperability of data – The starting point ...

• Access to spatial data in various ways
• User has to deal with interpreting heterogeneous data in different formats, identify, extract and post-process the data he needs lack of interoperability

• Provide access to spatial data via network services and according to a harmonised data specification to achieve interoperability of data
! Datasets used in Member States may stay as they are
! Data or service providers have to provide a transformation between their internal data model and the harmonised data specification

Why Data Specifications are Useful
Member States make available data within the scope of INSPIRE using• the same spatial object types (and definitions),
e.g. WaterBody, WatercourseNode, Wetland• the same attributes (and definitions, types, code lists) and relationships to
other types• a common encoding (GML application schemas)• common portrayal rules
This facilitates• pan-European/cross-border aggregation and analysis• application development (e.g. information systems, reporting systems,
forecasting models)

What level of harmonisation is „just right“?
Too simple:• requirements cannot
be supported• insufficient
harmonisation• few benefits
Too complex:• difficult to implement• substantial benefits
only available to few users
• high cost
Simple Complex
requires• an iterative process• well-established requirements• good understanding of the existing geographic information• testing and validation slide based on presentation by Doug Nebert

INSPIRE Process ( long one… -:) but needed ! Bottom-up Stakeholder Involvement
•Building consensus in expert groups–Orientation and Position papers of experts –Establishing the state-of-play
•Preparing the proposal -> A Framework Directive–Scoping policy measures with expert advice–Assessing the political and socio-economic impact–A public review of the proposed measures
•Adoption of the Framework Directive by the Commission•The proposal on the political agenda of the EU Presidency•Co-Decision Procedure by Council and Parliament•Adoption of the Framework Directive•Transposing the Framework Directive•Sharing data and implementing the infrastructure

INSPIRE’s participatory approach
To-date, 651 organizations are registered as INSPIRE stakeholders• Providing experts, reference material, projects• Participate in reviewing and testing of specifications• And learn from each other
INSPIRE contributes to global solutions• INSPIRE is EU contribution to Global Earth Observation System of
Systems (GEOSS)
INSPIRE stakeholders are international - examples• Australian Chief Government Geologists Committee• SDI Dominican Republic Project• DGIWG, link with NATO standards• EuroGeographics• WMO • OGC, ISO/TC 211 Geographic Information
