GWF Hyderabad, India 4/25 ESDIN is an eContentplus Best Practice Network project started September 2008 coordinated by EuroGeographicsEuroGeographics Key goal: help member states, candidate countries and EFTA States prepare their data for INSPIRE Annex 1 spatial data themes and improve access: 1.Coordinate Reference Systems 2.Administrative Boundaries 3.Cadastral Parcels 4.Hydrography 5.Transport Networks 6.Geographical Names ESDIN Introduction

GWF Hyderabad, India 5/25 Project partners

GWF Hyderabad, India 6/25 Specific Objectives: ● Implement Annex 1 INSPIRE compliant web based services which support the aggregation of harmonised data across borders and across themes Secure Environment Protected NMCA data OGC WFS Maintain Core Data Daily delivery

GWF Hyderabad, India 7/25 Quality Evaluation Edge Matching Generalization Unique IDs INSPPIRE Annex Themes Reference Data Daily delivery Automized processing to achieve: ● Highest quality products ● With near real time delivery

GWF Hyderabad, India 8/25 Specific Objectives: ● Aggregate data through development of INSPIRE web services at different levels of resolution. EU Commission Banking and Insurances Public Administration Real Estate, Industry Citizens Emergency Education Utilitiy Companies Traffic Control Environment Protection NATO Geology subscription high delivery frequency low delivery frequency Global Regional (OGC WFS) High Resolution INSPIRE (OGC WF)

GWF Hyderabad, India 9/25 Test INSPIRE Imple- mentation Rules and specifications in a live environment and recommend improvements. NMCA Local Data Schema & CRS Transformation Data Integration & Conflation Edge Matching Geometric Generalisation Cartographic Enhancement Transform local schemas to common INSPIRE data specification framework. Integrate INSPIRE data into compatible collaborative dataset(s). Ensure cross-border consistency across neighbouring data. Reduce data complexity, for effective use at alternate scales. Modify and enhance data for mapping purposes.

GWF Hyderabad, India 10/25 Outcomes: ● Greater understanding of the technical consequences of INSPIRE for key content stakeholders, eg, the European NMCAs ● Greater understanding of the business consequences of INSPIRE ● Wider access to geospatial digital content, eg, to the European academic sector ● Core components of the ESDI established ● Operational services covering 6 of the INSPIRE Annex 1 themes ● Test environment

GWF Hyderabad, India 11/25 Specifically the Project will (1): ● Provide data for INSPIRE Annex 1 themes at a range of scales. ● "Range of scales" are realized through "varying Level of Detail" ● Assess the suitability of this information as a basis for linking to other themes. ● European Location Framework that can form the basis and foundation for LinkedDataLinkedData

GWF Hyderabad, India 12/25 Specifically the Project will (2): ● Put in place services capable of transforming and providing access to data. ● The project has successfully supported several (but not enough) NMCAs in setting up services ● Develop a quality model. ● Quality of originating data, processing steps, generalization as basis for fitness of use in different domains.
