3. Principles
Common position of DG JRC, EEA and DG ESTAT
Joint effort for developing WISE together with Dg ENV
Hydrographic reference dataset as starting point

4. Objectives Short to medium Term Long Term
Geographic reference dataset for integration into WISE
Establishing links to MS systems
Relation between water and other parts of environment (SoE reporting)
Long Term
Integration into European spatial data infrastructure (INSPIRE)

5. Scope Short term Long term
Data publication (Mapping) and information retrieval
Compliance checking
Integration of SoE reporting
Long term
Spatial analysis in wider environmental context
Integration into European geo-spatial Infrastructure
Comprehensive water information system on European level

6. Actors DG JRC DG ESTAT EEA
Production of improved CCM as reference dataset
Integration of CCM into WISE
Support of INSPIRE implementation on technical level
DG ESTAT
Establish relation between GISCO and WISE
Definition of coding system
Support to INSPIRE integration
EEA
Extension and maintenance of system related to environmental assessment and SoE reporting

7. CCM as European reference dataset
Building Blocks
CCM as European reference dataset
General need for pan-European River and Catchment dataset
Production of improved version 2
Enhanced DTM
Orthorectified IMAGE2000 satellite data
Integration of data from other sources (CLC2000)
Application of common coding system

8. Integration of CCM in GISCO reference db
Building Blocks
Integration of CCM in GISCO reference db
Usage of other geographic data as reference
