TG-DATA Forthcoming work Irene del Barrio (EEA) September 29, 2017 16th meeting of WG DIKE, Brussels TG-DATA Forthcoming work

Outcomes of TG DATA meeting 7-8 June 2017 Re-activation of the technical group, after 3 years without meetings Adopted a workshop format, with break-out sessions, where the discussions resulted in the identification of needs and the agreement on certain things Main conclusions: Recommend to further explore the use of INSPIRE Further discussions on what the content of the URLs requested for datasets to be provided under art.8, 9 and 10 reporting (schema ‘Indicators’, class ‘Datasets’) are needed By 2018, Member States have to comply with INSPIRE metadata and network services Implementation Rules. Data interoperability Implementation Rule deadline is 2020. Therefore, the use of other standards in 2018 may be expected Organisations such as ICES, EEA and RSCs can be used by Member States for Art.19.3 implementation. EMODNET tender specifications include the scope for potentially including this service. WG DIKE will be informed on this. Provision of general guidance on what data models and formats to be used is required. In that line, draft recommendations (coordinated by EEA/ETC/France) will be brought for discussion to TG-DATA in the next meeting. A scope exercise with regards to the INSPIRE alignment, on how to use the data specifications would be needed (e.g. CDDA approach) (DG ENV and EEA to check).
