CP – Cadastral Parcels Areas defined by cadastral registers or equivalent [Directive 2007/2/EC] © ELF Cadastre INSPIRE Conference 2015 Discussion topics - examples Quality of source data (topology, inconsistencies with AU) Complex vs. simple feature geometry

AU – Administrative Units Units of administration, dividing areas where Member States have and/or exercise jurisdictional rights, for local, regional and national governance, separated by administrative boundaries INSPIRE Conference 2015 Discussion topics - examples Common unique ETRS89 coordinate are crucial for crossborder data harmonization Requirements for linking data (e.g. AU and SU)

Discussion topics - examples What is the purpose of GN theme and it’s services? Change INSPIRE LocalisedCharacterString into PT_free text Handling of multiple languages GN– Geographical Names Names of areas, regions, localities, cities, suburbs, towns or settlements, or any geographical or topographical feature of public or historical interest © National Land Survey Finland INSPIRE Conference 2015

AD - Adresses Location of properties based on address identifiers, usually by road name, house number, postal code INSPIRE Conference 2015 Discussion topics - examples Natural identifiers in Buildings Link between AD and TN Definition of address components sufficient? Transformation of simple data structures into complex model includes challenges regarding the UIDs

BU - Buildings Geographical location of buildings [Directive 2007/2/EC] INSPIRE Conference 2015 Discussion topics - examples Request for publishing the extended 2D building schema Natural identifiers in Buildings Total number of floors Portrayal of buildings and building parts Estimated accuracy attributes Schema problem with dateOfEvent geometry2D

Definition of Standing Water Topological consistency HY– Hydrography Hydrographic elements, including marine areas and all other water bodies and items related to them, including river basins and sub-basins. Where appropriate, according to the definitions set out in WFD and in the form of networks. Physical Waters Hydro Network INSPIRE Conference 2015 Discussion topics - examples

TN– Transport Network Road, rail, air and water transport networks and related infrastructure. Includes links between different networks. Also includes the trans-European transport network… INSPIRE Conference 2015 Discussion topics - examples Application of TN to trekking trails Modelling rural paths/ways Characterization of streets / urban thoroughfares Harmonisation of Functional Road Class at EU level Link between AD and TN Tracing algorithm

Open issues with Annex I data themes In the amendment of the Implementing Rules, a number of changes have been introduced to the Annex I data models and the xml schemas need to be updated: AD  In the Addresses data model, the type of the building association role of the Address spatial object type has been changed from the Building placeholder type to the type AbstractConstruction in the Buildings theme. AU  In the Administrative Units data model, the association between AdministrativeUnit and the candidate type NUTSRegion has been removed. HY  The candidate types Shore, Wetland and Embankment have been reintroduced into the Hydro – Physical Waters model, while the candidate types HydroPowerPlant, InundatedLand, OceanRegion, Pipe and PumpingStation have been removed. TN-Air  In the Air Transport Elements data model, the type targetElement of the controlTowers property has been changed from the Building placeholder type to the type AbstractConstruction in the Buildings theme.
