MONITORING AND DEVELOPMENT OF SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENTS XXII INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM MODERN TECHNOLOGY, EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE IN GEODESY AND RELATED FIELDS MONITORING AND DEVELOPMENT OF SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENTS 08-09 NOVEMBER 2012 Sofia EXECUTIVE AGENCY „ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS” MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND COMMUNICATIONS EXECUTIVE AGENCY „ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS”

„Monitoring and development of spatial data infrastructure elements” 1. Overview of the state of spatial data, administrated by the state administration. 2. Project on establishing the national portal for spatial information in EA ECNIS. 3. Progress of EU member-states in harmonisation of spatial data and services. 4. Upcoming reporting in 2013 on the progress in the implementation of Directive2007/2/ЕО INSPIRE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND COMMUNICATIONS EXECUTIVE AGENCY „ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS”

MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND COMMUNICATIONS State administrations - ministries and agencies administrate a large variety of spatial data, produced by virtue of different laws. Leading ministries: MRDPW, MAF, MEW; Leading agencies: Agency of Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre, Executive Environment Agency, former Executive Agency on Soil Resources, Executive Agency on Forests and so on. Directorates: Basin directorates to MEW, Directorates „Rila National Park”, „Pirin National Park”, „Central Balkan National Park”, „National Service of Nature Protection”, EA „Exploration and Maintenance of the Danube River” to MTITC, Directorate „Natural Resources and concessions” to MEET, General Directorate „Border police” to the Ministry of the Interior, Military Topographic Service to the Ministry of Defence; State enterprises: „Port infrastructure” and „National company Railway Infrastructure” to MTITC.

Reporting data reveal the following: Available spatial data sets as of 15.05.2012 – 492 in various formats – ZEM, AutoCAD DWG, AutoCAD DXF, FF, Shape and so on. Lack of metadata on data sets and services. Only two state structures declare that they have metadata compliant with an ISO standard; Main services provided are view and download, but they are not compliant to standards and Regulation on services. Exceptions are MEW and EEA, which report that their services meet the ISO standard; The communication networks of the state structures use TCP/IP protocol for data transmission and have low data rates; Only private telecommunication networks are used for long-distance connectivity.

MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND COMMUNICATIONS Project under Operational Programme “Administrative Capacity” on establishment of National portal for spatial data and achiving interoperability of data and services, in compliance with the requirements of EU regulations. Project objectives: Establishment of national portal for spatial data for the provision of network services to the state administration, citizens and business; Deployment of the necessary standard and interoperable information and communication environment at national level for access by administrators and users of spatial data; Studying and implementing European requirements for harmonisation of spatial data and services aimed at accession/inclusion of our country to the European spatial data infrastructure being built at the moment; Raising the qualification of the staff of the state and municipal administration for efficient provision of spatial data services; Promotion of ideas, goals and principle of usage of spatial data as part of electronic governance at national and European level for more efficient public governance.

DENMARK FREE ACCESS TO BASIC DATA FOR EVERYONE After implementation of all initiatives, the revenues for society are expected to amount to around 800 mn DKK annually.

Commission Decision 2009/442/ЕО as regards monitoring and reporting Pursuant to Article 21, para. 2, letter d) of Directive 2007/2/ЕО Not later than 15 May 2010 and every 3 years, Member States shall send to the Commission a report including summary descriptions of: Coordination and quality assurance of the infrastructure; Contribution to the functioning and coordination of the infrastructure; Use of the infrastructure for spatial information; Data sharing agreements; Costs-benefits aspects.

COSTS-BENEFITS RATIO = 1:1? MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND COMMUNICATIONS EXECUTIVE AGENCY „ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS”

Costs evaluation: one-time and annual (repeating) Hardware; Software; Remuneration for experts, fully involved in building the spatial data infrastructure; Annual costs for hardware maintenance and software upgrade. Costs evaluation by phases of building the infrastructure: For building the IT infrastructure – hardware and major software components; Creation of metadata for data and services; Data harmonisation – creation of interoperable spatial data sets; Creation of harmonised network services for discovery, view, download, transformation and invoke; Expert staff training. MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND COMMUNICATIONS EXECUTIVE AGENCY „ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS”

MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND COMMUNICATIONS The general description of costs and benefits should contain the following: a) Evaluation of costs, related to the implementation of Directive 2007/2/ЕО; b) Examples of established benefits, including examples of positive impact on the preparation, implementation and assessment of the policy, examples of improved services for the citizens, and examples of cross-border cooperation. MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND COMMUNICATIONS EXECUTIVE AGENCY „ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS”

Evaluation of the costs for coordination and horizontal measures: Pre-project study – investigation of the data matching the relevant theme from the LASD (Law on Access to Spatial Data), which a certain state administration supports. Identification of the existing data sets, corresponding to and meeting the requirements of the relevant specifications and European standards. Defining the technology for data harmonisation in accordance with the specifications and the regulation on interoperability. Defining the infrastructure for test management, validation of the test results and documentation. Defining the technology for the provision of network services in accordance with the regulation on network services. Defining the ways of implementing the selected technologies and the necessary funds. The main goal pursued is the achievement of SUSTAINABILITY of all coordination measures and of the created interoperable spatial data sets and services.
