1. 4.1 What is WISE compatible
4.1.1 WISE applying standards
OGC -> ISO -> INSPIRE
4.1.2 WISE compatibility
Principles
4.1.3 WISE interoperability
Built on distributed nodes
Scale dependent node level

2. Principles of Streamlining reporting
Apply WFD-CIS collaborative process
Key principle: "Report once use many – harmonise reporting tools"
WISE will integrate State-of-the-Environment (SoE) and compliance (and where appropriate other) reporting data flows.
Follow principle of subsidiarity
Free use of MS data for visualisation and analytical purposes
Reporting based on public schemas and multi-approach tools
Data processing follow open and agreed process

3. WISE data flow (all steps involve QA/QC)
Data definition/
requirements
Step 1: WG D reporting sheets: Compliance or SoE, voluntary (or through comitology)
Submission
Step 2: End-user tool, schema/DEM, XML/shape/GML, other tools (DD, glossary), help desk
Delivery database
Step 3: central holding area (CDR: MS individual submissions), management of access rights
QA/QC feedback mechanism
Step 4: Automatic QA/QC checks in CDR + standardised manual checks if needed, feedback to data submitters
Acceptance
Working databases
Step 5: Final data storage: EU-wide, quality-checked databases (e.g. Art.3, 5, 8 – WFD, BWD, SoE, NiD, UWWTD, etc)
Step 6: Purpose-oriented databases
EU Databases
(Spatial) reference datasets
Compliance-check databases DG ENV
Analytical databases JRC, EEA
WISE viewer, GIS visualisation
Legal, political,
Assessment, compliance
Analysis/Scenarios
Step 7a: Public or restricted viewing, map service, aggregation, statistics
Step 7c: Tools for SoE assessment, CCM2, management scenarios
Step 7b: Tools for compliance assessment

4. Shared Environmental Information System principles
WISE is built as distributed data nodes
Support Vertical integration, from local operational to pan-European scale, by specifying spatial objects which can serve as references to more detailed information at national / local level.
Interoperable system For the sake of information sharing and exchange all participating nodes have to be interoperable, data should be exchangeable and services should be able to access and process data from different nodes.
Transparent (open) It should be possible to discover easily data and services.

5. Additional principles ? (4.1 cont’d)
Vertical integration, from local operational to pan-European scale, by specifying spatial objects which can serve as references to more detailed information at national / local level.
Keep It Simple

6. Interoperability decisions
WISE is based on open and service oriented architecture
The European WISE web map nodes will serve the community with lower scale data, whereas national and regional data nodes are expected to provide data services at higher scale
Users can build own services to connect their data to WISE or access WISE data
