INSPIRE Marine Pilot Overview 4th pilot project meeting 13/04/2016 DG Environment, Brussels

Marine Pilot Work Packages Work Package 0- Management and communication Work Package 1- Overview of MSFD requirements in relation of INSPIRE Work Package 2- INSPIRE-based MSFD spatial data modelling Work Package 3- Development of the data flow Work Package 4- EMODnet and INSPIRE Work Package 5- Document and analyse the cost and benefit Work Package 6- Training and capacity building Not consequent work packages

WP1- Overview of MSFD requirements in relation of INSPIRE Link between INSPIRE & MSFD legal requirements: MSFD & INSPIRE directives COM 2010/477/EU on criteria and methodological standards on GES (MSFD) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services + 3 amendments documents (INSPIRE) Status: Comments and questions received from SE, SL, ENV on DIKE-11-2015-06 – Thank you! Update (REV 3) scheduled for December 2015

WP2- INSPIRE-based MSFD spatial data modelling Spatial data modeling: Document and share data coming from the MSFD monitoring programmes Introduction to the use of INSPIRE data standards Data models for further use in the marine pilot Status: Tabled today as DIKE-12-2015-05a, for comments and questions by end of November 2015 Update (REV 3) scheduled for December 2015

WP3- Development of the data flow Sandbox – development of technical solutions and tools – including free and open source software – that can be used required data flow http://inspire-marine.jrc.ec.europa.eu

First results from the data exercise MSFD Descriptor D5: Human-induced eutrophication is minimised, especially adverse effects thereof, such as losses in biodiversity, ecosystem degradation, harmful algal blooms and oxygen deficiency in bottom waters Including following indicators: Nutrients concentration and ratio Chlorophyll concentration Water transparency related to increase in suspended algae, where relevant Abundance of opportunistic macroalgae Species shift in floristic composition such as diatom to flagellate ratio, benthic to pelagic shifts, as well as bloom events of nuisance/toxic algal blooms (e.g. cyanobacteria) caused by human activities Abundance of perennial seaweeds and seagrasses (e.g. fucoids, eelgrass and Neptune grass) adversely impacted by decrease in water transparency Dissolved oxygen, i.e. changes due to increased organic matter decomposition and size of the area concerned

Metadata Languages search “MSFD” or “Marine” : no results DE geoportal expects German keywords search “MSFD” or “Marine” : no results Search: “MSRL”=German acronym of “MSFD” or “Meeresstrategie”=“Marine strategy” found metadata

Metadata Keywords Geoserver data services The data and services published on geoportal include datasets about some parameters (for example Chlorophyll) Geoserver data services Using some keywords to find Chlorophill data on geoportal have no result (tested keywords: CHLS, Chlorophyll) Metadata geoportal data services

Metadata: operational suggestions Keywords Insert the most important keywords related to the collected data Select keywords from thematic thesauri  Client able to exploit thesauri can recover metadata from: term ID (language independent) Exploiting narrower/relatives terms Semantic interoperability Language For cross-countries search, use at least also English translation of each keyword

Data Methodology applied to measure the collected observation DE NL Example of chlorophyll-a different measures at the same time in the same place with different methodology DE NL 1° dataset: DE - method undeclared 2° dataset: DE - method declared 3° dataset: NL – method undeclared

What INSPIRE offers? Common approach to: Language Field description About field value, some of them are solved with the use of codelists stored in reference multi-languages registries Definition of field value Codelists colected in registry/thesauri solves also the meaning of the field value (semantic interoperability) Indication of methodology applied to compute parameters On Metadata information On data model (EMF)

What INSPIRE doesn’t solve Scale of geospatial element The scale of exposed data are stored in metadata for interoperability No mandate of exposing specific dataset in a pre-defined scale Unit of measures INSPIRE manages the parameters value and the related unit of measures used for them. No mandate of exposing specific parameter values in a pre-defined unit of measure These aspects need to be agreed in reporting requirements

WP4- EMODnet and INSPIRE Overview of legal, organizational, semantic and technical relations Based on outcomes of EMODNET & INPSPIRE workshop 30/06/2015 Proposes different roles for EMODnet in support of INSPIRE implementation in MS Status: Tabled today as DIKE-12-2015-05b, for comments and questions by end of November 2015 Update (REV 3) scheduled for December 2015 Concrete action plan to be discussed with EMODnet projects in week of 20 October 2015 Possible use of EMODnet products in marine pilot

WP6- Training and capacity building Developed three training modules: On line training modules for the basic INSPIRE understanding Web conferences (recorded and available on line) – related to the interoperability and INSPIRE data models related to the MSFD implementation “Hands on” – training module – capacity building for the transformation of data sets into INSPIRE data model; development of the INSPIRE compliant metadata, use of sandbox tools, etc… We want to share with other MSFD implementers
