Netherlands Experience with WFS-services For 3 years there is a (Rijkswaterstaat/Deltares) Programme for Marine Project Data ( NOT for MSFD!) GOAL: Re – Use of Environmental Monitoring data (such as (Fish, Benthos, Birds, Waterquality, Salinity…)) from LARGE MARINE PROJECTS, using Open-Earth Techniques (OGC’s - WFS etc) Nature Compensation Projects related to harbour extensions Windfarm studies Sand extractions Information House Marine Offerered an OPEN DATA Portal for Viewing, Retrieving and Downloading the WFS-layers

1. Semantic Standardisation: NL uses at this moment a national standard (AQUO) which is optimized for WFD. ( includes metadata for location, sample, measurements; more detailed than Inspire ). Well established data model for chemistry & biology (also experiences and mapping with Seadatanet, Emodnet, BODC,Worms etc.) => We would like to have 1 uniform EU semantic standardisation instead of many different standardisations 2. Technical Standardisation: Inspire WFS services (WFS 1.1 and 2.0) AQUO can be delivered and viewed through WFS as shown in previous slides Experience with >1 million biological and chemical measurements from re- use of Environmental Data from “Large Marine projects”; Now implementing this for regular MSFD measurements, starting with the “Demonstration Indicators/Parameters” for the Inspire Marine Pilot” 3. Viewing and retrieving/downloading: If you know the URL you can view the WFS with mapviewer or QGIS EEA can retrieve the NL data this way More userfriendly: use IHM-viewer (or PDOK viewer), Emodnet etc. Dutch lessons learned / like to learn more ….

Tasks (based on scope definition of project) where dutch partners could contribute to 1. Use of INSPIRE legal acts, technical guidance documents, and framework documents; 2. Overview of MSFD implementing measures related to the spatial data requirements and INSPIRE obligations; 3 Overview and quality assessment of already reported MSFD spatial data on Geographical areas to looking at the technical aspects of the datasets and advise on any modifications needed to be compatible with INSPIRE; 4. MS/EEA/EC data flow development regarding the MSFD requirements; 5 Technical support to advise on INSPIRE compatibility regarding the related developments like the information model for the marine environment; 6. Overview of the best practices, experiences and issues of MSDI development, related to the MSFD/INSPIRE application and implementation provided by developers German Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure [ de.org/]; 7. Initial use-case development of the data flow MS to EC/EEA, using already developed MSDI; 8. Developed demonstrator in cooperation with the EEA that uses the MSFD- related data and services in line with INSPIRE; 13 Del - tares Del - tares IHM RWS WVL RWS WVL RWS CIV RWS CIV

9 Main use-case, applying the good practices from initial use-case and development of the required data flow MS/EEA; 10. Overview and identification of reusable results of the project “Development of a shared data and information system between the EU and the Regional Sea Conventions” (first results expected in September 2014); 11. Link to INSPIRE compliant services provided by EMODnet and contribution to Marine Knowledge 2020; 12. Analysis if data and information included in pilot project are reusable for the implementation of other environmental legislation that relates to marine waters; 13. Sub-national data flows and services; 14. Fine-tuning and configuration of re-usable components (e.g. software) to implement the use cases; 15. Training and capacity building; 16.

Conclusions and Recommodations Linking INSPIRE and MSFD directives in joint Project is a good initiative !  It stimulates international harmonisation and cooperation. The Inspire Marine Pilot – not only helps to fullfill the mandatory INSPIRE MSFD requirements – but also acts as a catalyst for the further national implementation of the broader INSPIRE directive 1 uniform and harmonised EU semantic standardisation is needed Start simple to get everyone on board From Co – Operation -  Co - Production Use Case mariene data15 9 dec 2013
