16. Starting package 3/3: MAPPING GUIDE, & GUIDANCE PAPER Maps and ESPON 2013. This part presents the content of the map-kit tool (“European, local and global”). All the elements that have to be necessarily represented on each map are described. Enhancing information. This part explain how to symbolize ESPON 2013 data with the good rules of graphic semiology. Maps are tool for communication. This part insists on the fact that a map has to deliver a clear message. MAPPING GUIDE: CONTENTS 3 PARTS

17. Starting package 3/3: MAPPING GUIDE, & GUIDANCE PAPER Sent by ESPON CU at the beginning of the project Will be prabably improved in a near future with some technical issues for managing data and metadata. GUIDANCE PAPER

18. = dialog in a continuous way

19. Interaction with the ESPON DB project ronan.ysebaert@ums-riate.fr & nicolas.lambert@ums-riate.fr

20. WEB PLATFORM FAQ, FORUM, FILES, …. Possible evolution in a near future (in the phase II of the project)‏

21. = Deliveries

22. Deliveries of DATA, METADATA & MAPS (1) the datafiles filled in the good way Attribute data and eventually geometries (2) the metadata file Inspire compliant Currently: xls file Soon: web form (3) A list of your 10 best indicators Will be enhanced in the database interface (4) Your maps in a vector format eps, ai, svg, …

23. Example of data file Fields that have to be filled: Id Geographical level Version Validity_start Validity_end Indicator1 Label1 Indicator2 Label2 …

24. Metadata specifications The rules to keep in mind: (1)the information defined at one level can be refined at the lower level. (2)The content of the metadata file and the data file are strongly linked

25. Metadata specifications (extends Inspire spec, iso19115 ) The metadata information has been organized at three different levels establishing a mechanism of specialization and refinement for the information, specially the quality information: dataset, indicator and value. Inheritance mechanism More specialized & more refined General information

26. Example of metadata (dataset level) = Dataset information (name, date) & Decription of the point of contact (name, email, role, ….)

27. Example of metadata (dataset level) ESPON 2013 Database Delivery June.xls

28. Example of metadata (indicator level) Code of the indicator Name Units Abstract Methodology Classification ….

29. Example of metadata (indicator level)

30. Example of metadata (value level) Label Lineage Reliability constraints

31. Example of metadata (value level)
