INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July Experiences harmonising Datasets conform INSPIRE: Geobide in IDENA and Nature SDI+ projects P. Echamendi, A. Huarte, J.L. Cardoso, P. Mendive, M. Cabello

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July Geobide ◦ Introduction ◦ What is Geobide? ◦ Components Examples of use ◦ IDENA ◦ Nature-SDI plus

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July It is a suite of tools for integrating and deploying Geographical Information Systems It aims to complement existing solutions. It will enrich existing software and will integrate new solutions for the systems. Geobide

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July Tool for modelling, production, debugging and dissemination of GI Fully embeddable in existing solutions An SDK that could be enlarged according to our needs Scope

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July Powerful: It implement OGC Standards and multiple CAD/GIS formats. Independent: not linked to any GIS platform. Light, < 30mb. The solution choose what is distributed. Coherent. It offers a common environment completely independent of how it is used. Easy to distribute. 100% developed in.NET. Characteristics

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July Using Geobide: practical examples

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July IDENA, SDI portal for SITNA SITNA (Territorial Information System of Navarra) Through IDENA: SITNA incorporate defined requirements for INSPIRE Directive. SITNA is open to other systems, by using services that fulfil specifications and standards shared by all spatial community It was published in 2005 Its portal has been renewed in

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July GOALS Increase general capabilities of the portal. Enlarge number of data and metadata. Improve management and publishing of information. New OGC services: CS-W, WFS, WCS, WMC. More attractive viewer. Advanced tools Metadata according INSPIRE. Multilingual Portal …

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July Challenges Apply a new data model, unique for all information in SITNA: standardising and harmonising information, attribute names, file names, version nomenclature, metadata, etc For this purpose we used:

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July  Allow to define the Data model in an integrated way, based in several rules previously established  Characteristics:  Versatile: define entities, hierarchical structures, topological rules, configurations for extracting, converting, metadata, cartographic quality, etc.  Supporting adoption of INSPIRE Data specifications  Extensible: XML  Reusable: integrated in GEOBIDE, which provide several tools for managing geospatial data

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July CONCEPTUAL SCHEMA

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July  Nature-SDI plus:  eContentplus proposal  From October 2008 to July 2011  Partners: 30 (18 countries)  Themes:  Protected Sites (Annex I)  Biogeographical regions (Annex III)  Habitats and biotopes (Annex III)  Species distribution (Annex III)  Goals:  Establish a Good Practises Nature Conservation Network and achieve a set of harmonised data and metadata to be more accessible and exploitable.

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July 1.Identify a source and target data model 2.Compare source and target DM using Data matching table 3.Choose Transformation Tool according to existing data 4.Create services and catalogues for publishing information in Nature-SDI plus Geoportal DATA HARMONISATION PROCESS

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July Select input and output layer

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July Select Target Data Model (Nature-SDI plus)

INSPIRE 2011 – Edinburgh – 1 st July Harmonising data into a common data model may offer great benefits to data providers and users of generic geospatial information Harmonisation may be more or less complex depending on the existing data model and also the team specialisation, but now is more needed than never. Organizations require friendly and simple applications, easy-to-use, for the task of harmonise, standardize, integrate and maximise reuse of data. Experience acquired in this two projects has demonstrated that using Geobide performing this tasks is very easy, not requiring great GIS expertise and being feasible for small organisations and for large amount of data. Conclusions
