MIWP Status Report
38th MIG-T meeting, Ghent
28 – 29 March 2017

2. 2016.2 M&R 2019 – Why? Current system can be improved e.g.:
too much textual information
time consuming
not comparable results across MS
not (always) consistent with MD
some recommendations from MIWP-16 still to be addressed
future system should be fully automated (based on metadata)
Develop and implement an optimized and effective process according to Art. 21 of INSPIRE Directive, in line with the Better Regulation Guidelines (COM(2015)111) and the aims of the Fitness Check on environmental monitoring and reporting
Adopt the concepts of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), dashboards, country fiches, linking to more extensive reporting resources and reporting service endpoints.

5. Current activities
Gather information on M&R issues, information needs, relevant indicators
Short survey, Reuse of MS 2016 reports, MIWP 16 recommendations
Review monitoring and reporting
Review monitoring/reporting indicators and process
Monitoring to be fully automated (metadata based)
Reporting based on country fiches
In line with better regulation intervention logic
Serving implementation, application, compliance progress monitoring
Short term priorities
1) Draft KPI framework and how to implement
2) Make a list of proposed changes (legal changes, corrections, technological /scientific adaptations) to the Reporting Decision for the MIG/Committee June 2017

6. Priority 1: Draft KPI framework and how to implement
For discussion
Monitoring of the use of network services
Existing indicator based on the number of service requests (Article 9)
Introduction of new indicator(s) – proposals?
Indicator for the List of Priority Data Sets
New indicator (proposed by DG ENV)
Implementation through metadata keywords
Proposed changes to metadata IR/TG (in support of M&R)
Better accommodate the definition of related view and download services in the metadata of a data set (endpoint, service type, protocol) and the direct accessibility of these services.
Metadata conformance statement on Network services
Mandatory metadata UUIDS for:
spatial data sets;
discovery, view and download services related to a spatial data set;
discovery service servicing the metadata of a network service;

7. Priority 2: Draft proposed legal changes (Commission Decision 2009/442/EC)
Discussion on previous proposal from MIWP 16. Proposals accepted with minor changes.
Article 1 and 2 stay as they are.
Article 3 dropped.
Article 4 stay as is. Further recommendations will be provided in guidelines.
Article 5 dropped.
Article 6 possible statement on Network Services conformity to be added in Metadata. To be checked with legal service.
Article 7 dropped.
Article 8 stay as it is. Proposal for provision of endpoints.
Article 9 dropped.
Article 10 proposed change in Metadata conformance statement on Network services.
Article 11 stay as it is.
Future Reporting will be based on country fiches. Country fiches for 2016 will be finished by mid of March and bilaterally shared wit MS. Based on it the final fiche will be endorsed for future reporting.
Article 12, 13 stay as it is.
Article 14 a) dropped, Article 14 b) new keywords on priority datasets, Article 14 e) proposal to drop.
Article 14 discussion. Difficult to monitor usage. No specific indicators proposed. Possible usage of national geoportals.
Article 15 stay as it is. Further recommendations will be provided in guidelines i.e. open data portals, licenses and link to their descriptions. percentage of INSPIRE spatial data under open data
Article 16 stay as it is. Further recommendations will be provided in guidelines.
