4. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 4/29 ESDIN is an eContentplus Best Practice Network project Run time from September 2008 to March 2011 & ongoing coordinated by EuroGeographicsEuroGeographics Key goal: help member states, candidate countries and EFTA States prepare their data for INSPIRE Annex 1 spatial data themes and improve access: 1.Coordinate Reference Systems 2.Administrative Boundaries 3.Cadastral Parcels 4.Hydrography 5.Transport Networks 6.Geographical Names ESDIN Introduction

5. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 5/29 Project partners

6. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 6/29 Specific Objectives: ● Implement Annex 1 INSPIRE compliant web based services which support the aggregation of harmonised data across borders and across themes Secure Environment Protected NMCA data OGC WFS Maintain Core Data Daily delivery

7. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 7/29 Quality Evaluation Edge Matching Generalization Unique IDs INSPPIRE Annex Themes Reference Data Daily delivery Automized processing to achieve: ● Highest quality products ● With near real time delivery

8. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 8/29 Specific Objectives: ● Aggregate data through development of INSPIRE web services at different levels of detail. EU Commission Banking and Insurances Public Administration Real Estate, Industry Citizens Emergency Education Utilitiy Companies Traffic Control Environment Protection NATO Geology subscription high delivery frequency low delivery frequency Global Regional (OGC WFS) High Resolution INSPIRE (OGC WFS)

9. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 9/29 Test INSPIRE Imple- mentation Rules and specifications in a live environment and recommend improvements. NMCA Local Data Schema & CRS Transformation Data Integration & Conflation Edge Matching Geometric Generalisation Cartographic Enhancement Transform local schemas to common INSPIRE data specification framework. Integrate INSPIRE data into compatible collaborative dataset(s). Ensure cross-border consistency across neighbouring data. Reduce data complexity, for effective use at alternate scales. Modify and enhance data for mapping purposes.

10. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 10/29 Outcomes: ● Greater understanding of the technical consequences of INSPIRE for key content stakeholders, eg, the European NMCAs ● Greater understanding of the business consequences of INSPIRE ● Wider access to geospatial digital content, eg, to the European academic sector ● Core components of the ESDI established ● Operational services covering 6 INSPIRE Annex 1 themes ● Test environment

11. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 11/29 Specifically the Project will (1): Provide data for INSPIRE Annex 1 themes at a range of scales. ● "Range of scales" are realized through "varying Level of Detail" Assess the suitability of this information as a basis for linking to other themes. ● The result are plans for a European Location Framework forming the foundation for LinkedDataLinkedData

12. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 12/29 Specifically the Project will (2): Put in place services capable of transforming and providing access to data. ● The project has successfully supported several (but not enough) NMCAs in setting up services Develop a quality model. ● Quality of originating data, processing steps, generalization as basis for fitness of use in different domains.

13. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 13/29 WP6: Migrate existing pan European small scale products to ExM: EuroGlobalMap EuroRegionalMap EuroBoundaryMap ExM Data Specification INSPIRE Data Specs INSPIRE Data Specifications as framework. Note overlap

14. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 14/29 WP7: Extend ExM to incorporate large scale data: European NMCAs large scale products: Cadastral parcels ExM Data Specification INSPIRE Data Specs INSPIRE is scale independent, but access to multiple scales is important for large numbers of users Transformation and generalisation services required!

INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 15/29 WP10 ExM Transformation specifications ExMExM INSPIRE Large scale Medium scale Small scale Large scale Medium scale Small scale INSPIRE aware Location framework NMCA 1 Large scale Medium scale Small scale NMCA N Multiple European NMCAs Transformation Implement transformation rules for participating NMCAs. Prepare for generalisation.

16. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 16/29 WP9: NMCA Data maintenance and business processes Improve geospatial maintenance at the European level –Edge-matching methodologies –Stable Unique Identifiers –Near real-time Change-only Updates for power users (subscription model)

21. Architecture – Addressing Diversity Publication service integrated with production Production with manual transformation for publication service Service oriented production with semi automatic transformation process Lassi Lehto, FGI Finland Arnulf Christl, Metaspatial

22. Architecture – Addressing Stability Publication data available through INSPIRE view and Download Services plus additional "mass market" formats and interfaces. Replication of publication data adapted to NMCAs processes. Central data cache allows for optimized scalability and availability of pan-European data Arnulf Christl, Metaspatial

23. Proposed Integrated Architecture EuroGeographics Architecture integrated with INSPIRE conceptual model

24. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 24/29 INSPIRE SDI Challenges ● Distributed Work Teams ● Availability of production quality WFS services (eg no GML 3.2.1) ● Licencing Policies ● Time and manpower constraints of participating NMCAs ● Involvement of stakeholders

25. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 25/29 Adopting new Project Methodology ● Introducing Scrum in WP 11 DevelopmentScrum ● Clear definition of roles ● Product Manager: focus on maximising ROI ● Team: daily stand-up meetings improve focus ● Scrum Master: Removes impediments ● High acceptance by development teams and management (after some positive experience) !

26. INSPIRE 2011 SDI Workshop - Edinburgh, UK 26/29 Scrum Outline ● Create ad hoc focused distributed teams ● Maintain Product Backlog ● Define Sprint Goal ● Create Sprint Backlog ● Iterate ● Report ● Amend 24 h 10 days
