INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community, Directive 2007/2/EC) Member States are required to make available data sets related to one or several of the Annexes in Directive 2007/2/EC and the corresponding spatial data services in conformity with the technical arrangements for the interoperability and, where practicable, harmonisation of spatial data sets and services = Implementing Rules (legally binding, deadlines in „roadmap“): Metadata („data about data“) discovery services („decoding“) view services (web-mapping, .wms) transformation services (e.g. into ETRS89) download services (web feature services, .wfs)

Call for expression of Interest for participation of Data specifications for Annex II and III Data themes: development of data specifications follows a three step approach: first step: establishment of of framework documents that facilitate a harmonised development of data specifications second step: drafting of the technical details referred to as „INSPIRE data specifications“ third step: preparing the legal text based on the outcome of second step (KOM)  completed

Call for expression of Interest for participation of Data specifications for Annex II and III Data themes: INSPIRE CT (Consolidation Team) forms theme-specific TWG‘s (Technical Working Groups) - still on-going TWG‘s will develop theme-specific data specifications version 1.0 in September 2010 version 2.0 in March 2011 (base for stakeholder consultations and extensive testing 03/2011 - 10/2011) version 3.0 in January 2012 development of data specification will start from environmental use cases – which in most cases will involve data from several themes. • Since INSPIRE will be built on existing spatial data sets, the existing data in the Member States will be an important factor in the scoping of the INSPIRE data specifications in addition to the environmental use cases.

D2.3 Definition of Annex Themes and scope - v3.0 Links and overlaps with other themes: The broad field of natural risks may link and overlap may other themes, mostly concerning physical environment as Land use (land use plans may reflect risk zones), Elevation, Hydrography, Land cover, Geology, Environmental protection facilities, Meteorological geographical features, Oceanographic geographical features.

Expectance: Important input from Floods directive to the INSPIRE process But also: INSPIRE could impact the reporting specifications of Floods directive (1st FRMP and following reporting exercises) How to get involved? INSPIRE Annex II + III themes user requirements survey Form available under: http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/documents/Data_Specifications/urs_version2prepare_answers.pdf closing date: 31st March 2010
