1. National and Regional Spatial Data Infrastructure and Information Services related to WISE

2. Realisation of practical reporting mechanisms within a network of competent authorities
Challenge:
Facilitate the exchange of environmental information.
Why:
Because currently it is not practical.
e.g.: Fixed periodic reporting dates vs. dynamik nature of information.
e.g.: Not standardized
e.g.: Push instead pull mechanism
(See difficulties to link WFD Art.5 and WFD Art.8 data via Water Body ID)
Solution:
Exchange of interoperable data on demand via a common open web-based spatial data infrastructure (SDI)

3. Structures to establish a SDI in Germany
Generell Geo-Information:
Inter-Ministerial Working Group on Geo-Information operating for 10 years (IMAGI)
Office to establish a national SDI at Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy operating for 5 years (Geschäftsstelle GDI-DE). Running central Geo-Portal and Working Groups on Architecture, Metadata, WMS, WFS, Registry
Water related Geo-Information:
Designation of National Node for Water relatet Data at the German Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG WasserBLIcK)
BfG Activities:
GEOSS: D-GEO-Group, GEO-User Interface, HARON
INSPIRE: LMO, SDIC-WISE, WISE-TG, INSPIRE-TWG
SDI-Germany: WG IMAGI, WG Architekture, Metadata, WMS, WFS
Establishment of SDI-nodes at State and/or Commuinty Level
(compare Part 2: Armin Müller)

14. Next Steps for a Decentralized WISE-Architecture from German (MS) Perspective
Implement CS-W
Define implementation rules for search request -> WFD-Services
Implement WMS
Define topics where WMS-technique is of interest
Define implementation standards for
Scale
Feature Info
Symbolization
Implement WFS
Define GML-schema for relevant WFD-Data
Take special care of developement of INSPIRE Implementation rules
Annex I Hydrography
Annex I Protected areas
Annex III Monitoring.
