4. number of data sets reported Are Spaniards less and less INSPIRE? NO, we are more and more rigorous

5.  We have some unsolved questions about what we should report  So we have carried out a survey between the members of the Executive Board of Spanish NSDI  And the result is: 2015 M&R

6. Next year we are only going to report datasets with INSPIRE metadata

7. Total reporting 1431 With metadata 1022 With Metadata and catalogue 615  We are implementing the INSPIRE Catalogue of Spain (for feeding the INSPIRE Catalogue and the M&R)

8. In 2018 we are only going to report about dataset of the annexes I and II fulfilling INSPIRE requirements

9. In 2019 we are only going to report about dataset of the annex III fulfilling INSPIRE requirements

10. Only datasets covering (or planned) the whole territory of Spain will be reported

11.  We don’t have a clear position. Perhaps, it depends on the theme Regional environmental agencies are in charge of protected sites. Unfortunately, not all of them have INSPIRE datasets but it is intended. In this case, we are going to report regional datasets. We think that an orthophoto of Madrid of 1921 should be reported but the distribution of an particular species in a particular area shouldn’t be reported

13. If there is a national dataset consists of several regional datasets only the national one will be reported

14.  For instance, the Spanish National Plan for Land Observation Regional and national institutions involved, both funding and producing Each institution provides network services… But it is only one product  Many other examples: street maps, environmental datasets, protected sites,…

15. Only one dataset will be reported although there would be several temporal versions

16.  We have hundreds of temporal series related to meteorology Average annual potential evapotranspiration in Andalusia: 1961-1990 Average annual potential evapotranspiration in Andalusia: 1971-2000 Index annual average humidity in Andalusia: 1961-1990 Index annual average humidity in Andalusia: 1971-2000

17.  We have a full orthoimagery coverage of Spain each three years, but we are going to report a single dataset. The temporal attributes will be described in the metadata

18. A dataset is related only to a single INSPIRE theme

19. Topographic Database of Canary Islands One dataset One metadata Several INSPIRE themes One network service Topographic Database of Canary Islands Several datasets TN HY GN Several metadata Only one theme One or several network service

20. We are going to avoid to report about dataset related to a single type of spatial object

22.  We are using M&R not only to report to INSPIRE but also to organize INSPIRE in Spain (including to define a business plan)
