1. Update on INSPIRE CDDA/European protected areas technical meeting 2015 Darja Lihteneger Project manager - Data centres and INSPIRE implementation IDM - IDM4: Data management 03. – 04.08.2015

2. Outlines INSPIRE update: Roadmap INSPIRE Maintenance and Implementation Framework and Group (MIG) INSPIRE Mid-term Evaluation Report INSPIRE Thematic Clusters INSPIRE Reporting INSPIRE in thematic domains - extensions EEA – INSPIRE activities

3. INSPIRE web-site http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/

4. INSPIRE Implementation Roadmap Spatial data sets: Annex I: Protected sites Annex III: Habitat and biotopes, Species distribution, Bio-geographical regions INSPIRE services: Discovery View Download Transformation New: INSPIRE invocable spatial data services – Implementing Rules http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal- content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:320 14R1312&from=EN

5. INSPIRE Maintenance and Implementation Framework INSPIRE Maintenance and Implementation Group is active: – European Commission expert group, composed of two permanent sub-groups: Policy sub-group (MIG-P) Technical sub-group (MIG-T) – Members: representatives of Members States, European Commission, European Environment Agency Programme and actions: – Several endorsed actions – Regular web-conferences – Physical meetings – Improved INSPIRE documentation https://ies- svn.jrc.ec.europa.eu/projects/ mig-inspire

6. INSPIRE MIG activities National implementations of INSPIRE – webinars: https://ies- svn.jrc.ec.europa.eu/projects/mig- inspire/wiki/National_implementation_ webinars Thematic Forum: https://ies- svn.jrc.ec.europa.eu/projects/ inspire-gml-encoding/boards INSPIRE issues

7. INSPIRE mid-term evaluation report (joint EEA – JRC) http://www.eea.europa.eu/publica tions/midterm-evaluation-report- on-inspire-implementation Improvements: -Documentation of data and services -Easier to find (discovery service) -Compatible infrastructures between MS Gaps: -Data and service sharing, coordination between stakeholders -Not consistent geographic coverage of implementation -INSPIRE knowledge and resources

8. INSPIRE Thematic Clusters https://themes.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ -Building community of INSPIRE implementers and data & service users -Exchange of best practices -INSPIRE implementation Q/A -Feedback to INSPIRE documentation -Using spatial information and standards in thematic domains

9. INSPIRE Reporting http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/ 182/list/maptwo/y/2014/sel/2 Reporting spatial data sets and services, conformance with INSPIRE, coverage, … Example: Austria – INSPIRE Protected sites

10. INSPIRE and thematic domains Thematic domains have specific conceptual and implementation knowledge: vocabulary, constraints and conditions, standards, legacy data and systems Connection/use of INSPIRE data specifications might require extension of INSPIRE data models Needed: GuidelinesINSPIRE Generic Conceptual Model, ISO standards, OGC standards, UML guidelines, data modelling Knowledge (INSPIRE, UML, geographic information) lack of knowledge and experts is own of the findings in the INSPIRE mid-term evaluation report Best practicesFew: Air Quality Directive, projects – prototypes, national implementations ToolsSoftware registries – INSPIRE, national, EEA, …,

11. INSPIRE Protected sites – examples Draft INSPIRE data models: – INSPIRE PS Full application schema (connection with habitats and biotopes, species distribution) – INSPIRE PS – Natura2000 Example from Germany: extending to include German Monuments and Archaeological Sites (extending schema and code lists) INSPIRE Conference 2015 ! Update is needed, no roadmap yet !

12. INSPIRE and Air Quality Directive Changes in AQ Directive (thematic) including INSPIRE INSPIRE data specifications used to design application schemas for AQ reporting (extensions) Reporting data flow: Reportnet is used to provide data (limited INSPIRE services are available – mostly for near real time data) http://www.eionet.europa.eu/ aqportal

13. EEA and INSPIRE activities EEA – Is a member in INSPIRE Coordination Team (DG ENV, JRC, Eurostat, EEA) – Is a member in INSPIRE MIG, supporting specific sub-groups and activities – Provides technical support for INSPIRE Reporting – Participates in INSPIRE and environmental reporting projects and pilots, for example: WFD, UWWTD, AQD – Introduces INSPIRE in Eionet/ETC activities – Builds INSPIRE knowledge in Eionet (seminars with NRC) – Invests in prototypes and project for INSPIRE implementation

14. 1. EEA project “CDDA in conformity with INSPIRE Protected sites” – concluded! Data transformation from CDDA to INSPIRE Protected sites Deliverables: – Mapping rules – Transformed GML files – Validation – conformity with INSPIRE Usability: – CDDA transformation to INSPIRE PS (sub-set of CDDA that matches with INSPIRE PS) – Mapping rules useful for countries to design transformation of national data to INSPIRE PS https://taskman.eionet.europa. eu/issues/21735 https://taskman.eionet.europa.eu/issues/19469 Transformed GML files INSPIRE compliant per country:

15. 2. New EEA project: CDDA reporting data flow and INSPIRE Started in 2015 Scope: – Prepare the complete reporting data flow to be INSPIRE based – providing INSPIRE metadata, data and services – Fulfil INSPIRE Directive (2017 deadline for INSPIRE Protected sites) for the CDDA reporting in 2018 – Design CDDA data model according to ISNPIRE Protected sites and based on the outcomes of previous data transformation project – Propose the common INSPIRE based reporting to Eionet countries and consider that INSPIRE is not mandatory outside EU – Keep consistency with WDPA http://forum.eionet.europa.eu/nrc-biodiversity-data- and-information/library/bdc/cdda-data-model-and- inspire

16. 3. Test EEA project – prototype: Bio-geographical regions as INSPIRE conformant data and service INSPIRE metadata Data transformation with software: FME and HALE Screencast available: https://quatin.com/photos/index.php?/ category/310

17. 3. Test EEA project – prototype: Bio-geographical regions as INSPIRE conformant data and service INSPIRE services: developed with software Degree Use of INSPIRE services in GIS with specific portrayal

18. EEA is data provider and user With INSPIRE implementation more data will be available in INSPIRE infrastructure (data and services) INSPIRE – knowledgeable community is important, including Eionet Assuring harmonised reporting data flows based on INSPIRE implementation Conclusions

19. Thank you eea.europa.eu
