1. EGDI-Scope: towards a European Geological data Infrastructure Full Consortium Meeting Vienna, 28 th April 2014 EGDI-scope team

2. ?

3.  Current status  Exchange and include discussion

4.  EGDI supports challenges and policy development at EU level ◦ Request from DG’s to provide pan-European geological data and derived information  EGDI supports sustainability of investments at EU and national levels ◦ Continued accessibility to EU-project results (safeguard > 250 mln previous investments)  Increase visibility EGS partners ◦ EGDI supports “principal supplier”-role for geological information at EU-level  Maximize added value at national level ◦ Higher efficiency new EU-projects/ INSPIRE ◦ accessibility Geological Data/ Information for different stakeholders (policy, industry, research)  Strengthening collaboration EGS partners and EU-institutions ◦ EGDI pre-conditional for EGS Strategy towards a European Geological Service EGDI: Solutions for what?

5. CHALLENGES FOR EUROPE How to stimulate economic recovery and create jobs and growth? How to secure energy and natural resources needed by citizens and industry? How to secure clean water, sufficient food and a clean and healthy environment? How to protect citizens against natural hazards and the consequences of climate change? How to comply with global agreements and targets and maintain a solid position in a rapidly changing global playing field? EUROPE 2020 Targets: Increasing Employment Increasing investment in R&D Combatting Climate change and Increasing Energy Sustainability Better Education Fighting Poverty and social exclusion EGDI: Solutions for what?

6. EU CHALLENGES REQUIRE EU ANSWERS Zooming in on geological knowledge and data to support policy development and implementation: Raw Materials Initiative Thematic strategy on the prevention and recycling of waste SET Plan (to establish an energy policy for Europe) Soil thematic strategy Blue Growth (maritime/marine) Water Framework Directive INSPIRE etc. EGDI: Solutions for what?

16. Use cases

17. INSPIRE ‘Voluntary’ (INSPIRE) Extensions INSPIRE + Use cases for thematic areas: 1.Geology (OneGeologyEurope / EMODNet – forward) 2.Mineral resources (Minerals4EU/ EuroGeoSource, Promine, EURare,…) 3.Geohazards/ ground instability (Terrafirma, PanGeo, Doris, SubCoast, ….) 4. Soil/ Superficial deposits (GEMAS, …) 5.Water resources Prioritizations datasets and use cases

19. Web Services Web Services Z… Y… Geological surveys X… Web Services Web Services Web Services Web Services Web Portals / Apps National level European level INSPIRE principles: The data are delivered at national level with web services (data providers responsibility) The data are processed “on-the- fly” by services The results are published in web portals or applications EGDI architecture

20. European DB Web Services Web Services Z… Y… Geological surveys X… Web Services Web Services Web Services Web Services Web Portals / Apps National level European level Need for a European repository: For performance and availability reasons For an easier implementation of processing services Need to have a mechanism to harvest national data and populate the European Database(s) => “Brokers” EGDI architecture

21. European DBs Web Services Web Services Z… Y… Geological surveys X… Web Services Web Services Web Services Web Services Web Portals / Apps Publish Process Need to extract data to process them into GIS or 3D Modeling tools The results are stored in the European repository to be published Select Extract Download Extract Download GIS 3D Results According to EGDI Rules EGDIScientists computers In the future, to move step by step, GIS functionalities into EGDI as web services EGDI architecture

24. EGDI architecture

25. EGDI legal framework Overview of legal and organisational barriers for the development of the EGDI –Licensing and data policy –Trust and authentication –Governance Guidelines for legal and organisational framework

26. EGDI legal framework –“legal requirements and conditions in order to ensure trust within the infrastructure” –What is trust? Ensuring that people want to use the infrastructure –They have faith in the data and services that are provided –They are certain that their rights and interests are being safeguarded Three (interlinked) areas –Trust in the data –Trust in the services –Trust in the people

27. EGDI legal framework DataServicesPeople Availability metadata (INSPIRE compliant) Metadata and quality information Identity Management -Identification -Authentication -Authorization -Accountability Quality assessment and assurance procedures SecurityPersonal data protection Authentic sourcesService level agreements Security balanced with user-friendliness -Technical -Physical -Administrative Digital Rights Management

31. How to jointly develop supporting knowledge on EU topics? How to achieve interoperability of data, information and models on schematic, semantic and conceptual levels? How to effectively support the European Commission with high level knowledge on a pan- European level? How to secure mandates and durable funding?

38. EGDI Scope Mature EGDI collateinitiatescale up products governance technology - Collate existing project results - Define fully developed EGDI - Build skeleton organisation - Vision, mission - (Key) surveys are committed - Own funding - Reuse existing technology - Surveys initiate projects for EGDI - Prioritisation process established - Exert influence (calls, programs) - Governance established - Strategy established - Expert groups committed - Project funding - Sustained organisation - Adaptive governance - External organisations committed - Program funding - EGDI architecture established - Adaptive technology - Short term, 2014-2015 - Medium term, 2015-2018 - Long term, >2018 - Full-fledged EGDI - Thematically -In terms of scale and coverage - Established European service Governance principle: continuous dialogue with stakeholders (internal & external) Technology principles: reliability/performance first, comply to standards, state-of-the-art rather than cutting edge Development principle: quick wins firstDevelopment principle: achieve comprehensiveness
