1. INSPIRE Marine Pilot DIKE meeting 29,30/09/2014, Brussels Agenda item 7 Paul Smits, Andrej Abramić, Vanda Nunes de Lima European Commission Joint Research Centre Institute for Environment and Sustainability Digital Earth and Reference Data Unit www.jrc.ec.europa.eu Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation

2. 2 Marine pilot The Marine Pilot under European Union Location Framework Action of the Interoperability Solutions for European Public Administrations Action- DG DIGIT; 16 months project – started in September 2014 Member States DG DIGIT ISA programme :EULF action EEA EC/EEA INSPIRE team INSPIRE MIG and Pool of experts DG JRC DG ENV.xDG MARE

3. 3 M ARINE P ILOT W ORK P ACKAGES Work Package 0- Management and communication Work Package 1- Overview of MSFD requirements in relation of INSPIRE Work Package 2- INSPIRE-based MSFD spatial data modelling Work Package 3- Development of the data flow - MS to EEA using national (M)SDI Work Package 4- EMODnet and INSPIRE Work Package 5- Document and analyse the cost and benefit Work Package 6- Training and capacity building

4. 4 Work Package 1- Overview of MSFD requirements in relation of INSPIRE The outcome of this WP1 is an overview of how INSPIRE implementation and MSFD data requirements are related; Which technical measures are necessary to implement both directives according to their roadmaps; Necessary actions to make MSFD implementing measures compliant with INSPIRE in a step-wise approach; The work maps the legal, organizational, semantic and technical requirements of the both Directives

5. 5 1 st draft of WP 1 – Deliverable - initial analysis done by JRC D1.2 Matching table of MSFD and INSPIRE requirements

6. 6 Work Package 2- INSPIRE-based MSFD spatial data modelling Included spatial data requirements identified in the WP1 (article 19 or/and reporting) Mapping will be done against the INSPIRE Core data models schemas for the spatial data will be identified and only if necessary extended Draft UML models, XML schemas, and transformation tables Guidelines and testing results

7. 7 Work Package 3- Development of the data flow - MS to EEA using national (M)SDI 1.Document best practices and experience in development of German MDI 2.Development of data flow MS/EEA using a pull-process Initial use case Include development of data flow from MS to EEA within already established and INSPIRE compliant SDI that integrate MSFD data EEA will set-up an application that consumes data from INSPIRE compliant network services Guidelines for sharing marine spatial data Main use case – development of data flow MS/EEA Spatial data modelled using the models developed/identifyed by WP2

8. 8 Work Package 4- EMODnet and INSPIRE The relationship between INSPIRE, EMODnet, MSFD; What implications INSPIRE has for EMODnet and for EMODnet data providers; Recommendations for aligning EMODnet to INSPIRE in relation to MSFD.

9. 9 Work Package 5- Document and analyse the cost and benefit Guidelines for collecting cost and benefit information are defined and distributed to the participating organizations. used for the Testing phase of the INSPIRE data specifications (v2.0) Elements for the costs and benefits considerations will be collected Possible reuse of the spatial data required by MSFD shared by INSPIRE network services in scope of implementation for other environmental policies David Connor: Towards integrated marine environmental information

10. 10 Work Package 6- Training and capacity building (Workshop) Training of the pilot participants (October 2014 - tbd); (Workshop) Training on re-use of marine pilot results (March 2015 - tbd).

11. 11 Next steps Start of pilot with involvement of small group of countries; Collection of reference material (e.g., existing guidelines, studies, etc.) Coordination and communication between national actors, review of draft guidance, set-up of services Involvement of more countries in a second moment

12. 12 Call for expression of interest for organizations and individual experts to participate in the marine INSPIRE pilot http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/ This call has two aims: 1.To invite experts that are acquainted with – or have responsibilities for – MSFD-related data management and reporting obligations, 2.To invite organizations that have a role in the MSFD data flows and reporting to express, to use the required data and to make the necessary transformation(s) to be in line with INSPIRE. Why should organizations participate? During the execution of the pilot, working methods and guidelines will be developed that may be adopted as a common practices in MSFD implementation process
