Progress report on M&R 2018, priority dataset list deliveries, feasibility study On behalf of the EEA/EC INSPIRE team Stefan Jensen, Darja Lihteneger, Jose Rubio INSPIRE Maintenance and Implementation Group 8th Meeting, 21-22.06.2018, Brussels, Belgium

INSPIRE 2018 Monitoring Exercise (ref year 2017) Deadline 15/05 for yearly monitoring obligation (ref. year 2017) All EU countries but two had already submitted their monitoring file by 19/06/18 Many countries have used the INSPIRE sandbox dashboard to harvest their national catalogues and generate the monitoring file. A reporting guidance has been provided by the EEA to national reporters to facilitate the reporting process. Upgraded dashboards based on Kibana in place since early February (better performance, more stable). Official dashboard already updated with the monitoring results: https://inspire-dashboard.eea.europa.eu/ * *Please note the slight change in the URL

INSPIRE 2018 Monitoring Exercise (ref year 2017) Total number of spatial data sets per country Steady increase of total number of reported datasets (12% more with respect to last year) 95% of datasets are reported by 5 countries (FR, DE, IT, PL, UK) PL UK FR IT DE https://inspire-dashboard.eea.europa.eu/ - 19/06/2018

INSPIRE 2018 Monitoring Exercise (ref year 2017) Number of spatial data sets per Annex Total number of spatial data services DE Annex III FR Annex II Annex I 15% of SD for Annex I (increase – 6%)* 10% of SD for Annex II (increase – 28%)* 75% of SD for Annex III increase – 13%)* Very significant increase of total number of reported services (more than double)* FR reported 10 times more services* https://inspire-dashboard.eea.europa.eu/ - 19/06/2018 * With respect to previous monitoring exercise (2017)

INSPIRE 2018 Monitoring Exercise (ref year 2017) Number of spatial data services by service type Percentage of spatial datasets for which view, download or both exists View SD with view service SD with download service SD with view and download services Download Percentages slightly decrease (but absolute number has significantly increased!) 47% of SD have view services 40% of SD have download services 37% of SD have view and download services Significant increase in view services (65%)* VERY significant increase in download services (230%)* https://inspire-dashboard.eea.europa.eu/ - 19/06/2018 * With respect to previous monitoring exercise (2017)

INSPIRE 2018 Monitoring Exercise (ref year 2017) Metadata conformity of spatial dataset and services Percentage of all conformant network services Conformity increases in all services types and stays around 60% (last year 55%) Given the huge increase in absolute number, this means a big effort towards conformity in network services by MS 93% of spatial datasets and services have conformant metadata https://inspire-dashboard.eea.europa.eu/ - 19/06/2018

INSPIRE 2018 Monitoring Exercise (ref year 2017) Number of conformant spatial data sets per Annex Good increase of absolute number of conformant spatial data sets In comparison with the total number of datasets, around 17% of total datasets are conformant with Data Specifications: Very slight increase for Annex I* (now around 51% conformance ratio) Very slight increase for Annex II* (now around 8% conformance ratio) Steady increase for Annex III* (now around 11% conformance ratio) Annex III Annex II Annex I https://inspire-dashboard.eea.europa.eu/ - 19/06/2018 * With respect to previous monitoring exercise (2017)

Priority datasets ”as-is” - draft results from EU geoportal by late May 2018 By legislation By country (15) and service Row Labels Dataset or Series Downloadable Service Grand Total Luxembourg 240 234 474 Belgium 213 146 359 Portugal 223 5 228 Malta 55 57 112 Austria 61 48 109 Spain 93 12 105 Estonia 78 1 79 Romania 38 6 44 Netherlands 28 Sweden 27 Slovakia 23 4 Denmark 26 Czech Republic 24 25 Finland Norway 2

Priority datasets ”as-is” - draft results from EU geoportal by late May 2018 Key observations: Overall lack of download services (possible due to lack of reference between services and data sets) Different approaches regarding spatial data extent (local, regional, national) „As-is“ data provided in diverse formats (as downloadable data sets or WFS) Identification of the official source often difficult

Reportnet 3.0 feasibilty study on data harvesting using INSPIRE infrastructure Purpose: To explore data harvesting from national or local sources to create the pan-European (geo)spatial data sets for the new Reportnet 3.0 architecture Scope: Spatial data under environmental reporting obligations, proposed Natura 2000 sites spatial data sets (included in priority dataset list) Explore aspects: Technical: access, performance, repeatability Content: extent, data structures, harmonisation, referencing spatial objects Governance: procedural, legal Gains and opportunities Approach: Use INSPIRE Thematic Viewer for Nature and Biodiversity as starting point to find downloadable data Deliverables: Prototype demonstrating data harvesting Report with minimum criteria for operational data harvesting

Basic data harvesting requirements Feasibility study scope INSPIRE Geoportal Thematic Viewer for Priority Data Sets for eReporting (filtering on specific metadata keywords) Data collection – data harvesting Focused entry point FIND CONNECT AND GET CHECK EU / Europe STORE Metadata catalogues in countries Downloadable geospatial data through services Repeat Geospatial data in the countries MS / Countries
