2. FINNISH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY INSPIRE legislation  Directive came into force already in 2007  Implemented in various stages:  Annexes I, II and III  Discovery services, Download Services and Viewing Services  Full implementation required by 2019  The INSPIRE directive aims to create an European Union (EU) spatial data infrastructure  This will enable the sharing of environmental spatial information among public sector organizations and better facilitate public access to spatial information across Europe  The emphasis is on creating business value on top of public data (PSI directive)  European Spatial Data Infrastructure will assist in policy-making across boundaries. Therefore the spatial information considered under the directive is extensive and includes a great variety of topical and technical themes

3. Hanna Koivula FINNISH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY Common Principles in INSPIRE  Data should be collected only once and kept where it can be maintained most effectively  It should be possible to combine seamless spatial information from different sources across Europe and share it with many users and applications.  It should be possible for information collected at one level/scale to be shared with all levels/scales; detailed for thorough investigations, general for strategic purposes  Geographic information needed for good governance at all levels should be readily and transparently available  Easy to find what geographic information is available, how it can be used to meet a particular need, and under which conditions it can be acquired and used DATA QUALITY & INTERFACES

4. Hanna Koivula FINNISH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY Local networks  Data is Provided for National Infrastructures and Combined in the European GEO-Portal  http://www.inspire-geoportal.eu/index.cfm http://www.inspire-geoportal.eu/index.cfm  Metadata for discovery of datasets  Download services (WFS)  Viewing services = data products (WMS, WCS)  Finnish INSPIRE-network offers support and services  http://www.paikkatietoikkuna.fi/web/en/ http://www.paikkatietoikkuna.fi/web/en/ (map interface is open source and downloadable from the site)

6. Hanna Koivula FINNISH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY Potential data for Distribution maps  Finnish Museum of Natural History  Digitized and georeferenced parts of collections in other Museums  Data from University Researchers  Other Non-governmental Data-Sources  Tiira- Bird observation database (BirdLife Finland)  Insects (Hosted by the Museum but maintained by amateur biologists)  Governmental Data Sources for Biodiversity Data  Finnish Environmental Agency, Finnish Forest Research Institute, Natural Heritage Services, Game adn Fisheries Research,  Private Sector Data Sources and/or users?  Consultants and engineering companies doing environmental assessments Cooperation is made mandatory!

7. Hanna Koivula FINNISH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY FMNH data products  Based on Quality controlled, dynamic data from:  Collections  Obsrevation databases  Literature (observations) Examples: Atlas of Vascular Plants (1500 species) Bird Atlas 2006-2010 (200 species)

10. Hanna Koivula FINNISH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY Inspire could be seen as a thematic network for GBIF and/or Life Watch Good quality georeferenced data Currently connections are on a national level Is there a need to connect "GBIF Europe" to INSPIRE? Where to provide European wide datasets?
