1 Building up a SDI What is needed? Ulla Kronborg Mazzoli Danish ministry for the Environment National Survey and Cadastre

2 He who knows all the answers has not yet been asked all the questions. - Author unknown

3 Aim for the meeting Getting assistance in creating a strategy and plan for building up a National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) in Iceland that at same time fulfils the demands written in the INSPIRE initiative related to access to environmental spatial data in Europe Building a SDI what does it take? That everybody joins in and fulfils their part

4 Outline What is SDI? wearing my glasses What is it for why try so hard? What is INSPIRE? Does all this concern me as a data provider? How can we integrate INSPIRE in the NSDI? What is going on in EU/globally infrastructure wise? Please do ask, do interrupt if you don't understand - questions in between and at last..

5 What is Spatial Data Infrastructure SDI? Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association (GSDI) defines spatial data infrastructure (SDI) as: the technology, policies, standards, and human resources necessary to acquire, process, store, distribute, and improve utilization of geospatial data 2009 GSDI Cookbook, The definition originates from Federal Geographic Data Committee, 1994

6 Let s turn it around.. What do we need? What do we want?

8 The Aarhus convention Grants the public rights: - regarding access to information, - public participation and access to justice, - in governmental decision-making processes on matters concerning the local, national and transboundary environment. It focuses on interactions between the public and public authorities. The subject of the Aarhus Convention goes to the heart of the relationship between people and governments. The Convention is not only an environmental agreement, it is also a Convention about government accountability, transparency and responsiveness.

12 SDI the backbone in efficient egovernment

13 Political demands: Efficiency (reducing costs) We cannot afford to do the same thing twice We do not have unlimited resources We must do the most with the taxpayers money Digitization is some of the answer and spatial information is crucial in this

14 What does a SDI do? Secures that: Spatial data from different sources both public and private - are wellknown, accessible, and interoperable That demands regulations and agreements on: Quality Standards Access Terms of use Metadata, Cooperation SLA?

15 Components in the infrastructure DATA - metadata, datasets FUNCTIONALITY spatial data services, web services and other technology Agreements and organization rights and access - Governance! Data Functionality Governance

18 Who s who in the infrastructure? Data provider Service provider Application provider User Coordinating/steering board e.g.

19 Let s sum up SDI is a means not the target SDI walks on three legs SDI is mainly about agreements and standards SDI helps us accessing vital information in an easy Questions?

20 INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe

21 The aim of INSPIRE To establishment a common digital infrastructure for spatial information (SDI) in Europe Interoperabel spatial information and services - Local, national and European level - Across sectors (environment, transport, agriculture, health...) INSPIRE is based on a set of principles INSPIRE is about tools and resources to support the sharing of spatial information

22 The concept a shared information window citizen emergency politician Public authority EU Functionality Public geodata WS

23 Environment do not respect borders

24 and a bit more concrete regulations on: Metadata datasets and services Harmonization and interoperability of the annexes I, II and III Services Discovery and view Download Transformation In voke/sds Monitoring and reporting procedures A harmonized basis of agreements (data and service sharing) Maintenance, data quality, test suites, knowledge sharing.

Species distribution 10. Energy Resources 11. Mineral Resources

32 The result of the identifying process

33 Harmonization and interoperability JRC Joint Research Center (the Commission) : mbedded Source model Own data model Transformation Target model INSPIRE

34 Does all this concern me as a data provider?

35 Duties and responsibilities Provide data of an agreed quality, maintenance and accuracy Provide harmonized datasets (standardization) Provide and publish metadata Secure that services are established (discovery, view, download and transformation) Contribute to the monitoring and reporting Secure accessibility as required in the data- and service sharing regulation Participate in the coordination structure

36 Monitoring and reporting Monitoring each year based on a set of indicators and consists of quantitative data, making input in a table, Reporting 3 yearly is qualitative input in the form of an annual report. The collected data should be forwarded to the EU Commission BUT it is a vital tool in developing the SDI 1. Form a baseline to monitor that is what you are going to do find the data providers responsible 2. Data providers gives information about a number of parameters 3. Service providers as well Take a look.spreadsheet

37 The finding of data providers The INSPIRE team made a preliminary list based on several meetings with potential data providers Workshops were conducted the data providers grouped around themes and relevant data specifiacations Data providers selected the most relevant datasets to fulfill the specifications Data providers designated themselves

39 Let s sum up The aim of INSPIRE is access to harmonized data INSPIRE is a part of the SDI reference architecture INSPIRE fits well into the infrastructure data model Data providers has a major role to play Questions?

40 What do we get with INSPIRE? INSPIRE provides some good standards, common rules and agreement paradigms Rules developed by Europe's "smartest" minds They are in line with international standardization (ISO, OGC) A wide range of harmonized spatial data sets will be made available They fit together across disciplinary and administrative boundaries They can be used seamlessly A network of standardized services will be provided Uptime and performance defined A coordination structure will be set up(governance) Principles!

41

42 How can we use that in egovernment? Standards, regulations and guidelines Results: harmonized data and services

43 The Danish egovernment Strategy Vision: "Digitalisation will create a smarter public sector that is simple, effective and coherent Action: Cross-cutting reuse of data, infrastructure, citizen service, governance Focus: Authoritative basic data and a common public data distributor Spatial information backbone, glue and intuitiv acsses points

44 Spatial basis data - examples Common administrative units/boundaries Common road data Common surface hydrography Common place names Common property data INSPIRE annex 1 (2 + 3)!!

45 Common data distribution Basic data should be available in a simple, efficient and stable manner Costs of distribution should be reduced Solution: A common data distribution Is being analysed using the experience from implementing the INSPIRE standards and requirements for quality and performance Guarantied up time and performance

46 How is it all organized?

47 European Commission INSPIRE Team (CT) The INSPIRE team consists of staff of the European Commission from the three DGs, (Directorate General) DG Environment (overall legislative and policy co-ordinator) Eurostat (the overall implementation co-ordinator) JRC (the overall technical co-ordinator)

48 INSPIRE Committee (IC) Regulatory Committee of MS representatives Legal mandate to vote for IRs as part of legislation transposed in MS (government/folketing) Role: The INSPIRE Committee has the general task to assist the Commission and to deliver its opinion on the draft Implementing Rules proposed by the Commission. This opinion shall be delivered in the form of a vote. MS INFLUENCE ON LEGISLATION!

49 Member State Contact Points (MSCP) Each MS must have a Contact Point - responsible for contacts with the Commission Role: The role of the contact points is to provide results about the transposition of INSPIRE in National legislation. The contact points will also be responsible for providing regular information about the implementation of INSPIRE in their country and report on behalf of the Member State to the Commission COMMUNICATION AND INFLUENCE Strong cooperation between MS

50 Initial Operating Capability Task Force (IOC TF) IOC TF helps and supports MS in the implementation of INSPIRE services and the INSPIRE geoportal (Commission) Representatives, from all Member States Role: Implementation of the INSPIRE Discovery, View Services. download and transformation services ARCHITECTURE

51 Drafting Teams Drafting Teams (DTs) are the groups of expert proposed by the MS participate in the process of creation of IRs metadata, network services, data and service sharing and monitoring and reporting TECHNOLOGY

52 Thematic working groups The Commission sets down TWGs for each data theme Call for participants among MS and specific experts (private) Editors Facilitators Many meetings webinars, telephone, mail,.. DATA

53 Organization egovernment track -Steering Committee for Inter-Government Cooperation (state, regions, municipalities) INSPIRE track Coordinating committee for the infrastructure for spatial information (state, regions, municipalities, private sector, universities) -Sector steering committees -WG Minister for the environment National Survey and Cadastre SDIG LMO s

54 Status INSPIRE in Denmark We follow the timeline almost Metadata + common component Geodata-info.dk View services for (almost) all Annex 1 datasets DK implements only Annex 1 now In progress (slowly) with harmonization + download Snowflake WFS Datasharing - paradigm for EU access already in play in relation to the CLC and the EEA "Cleanup" Annex 1 data providers INSPIRE in NSDI and elsewhere

55 Perspectives Economics and the crisis means that the focus on recycling, efficiency and common components is increased - it is also seen in the EU - Let's use it constructively Focus is on use and not least users - the private sector a "core competence" EU has eyes fixed on rights and payment as barriers for use - many different models are discussed - Will be interesting to follow... Increased cooperation between public authorities and the private sector on common standards and guidelines

56 Let s sum up We cannot afford to do the same thing several times -> common public solutions Common components (solutions, services, etc.) must be part of a shared public infrastructure Applications use - must be in focus Reinforced cooperation with the private sector INSPIRE helps but will not be the answer to all our challenges ;-)

63 INSPIRE Book The INSPIRE directive, establishing an Insfrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe, covers 34 policy areas which can have an impact on the environment. Although there is a lot of information available on INSPIRE there is no one publication that covers all areas of INSPIRE, in simple and easy way to understand terms. Concept and Overview The INSPIRE book aims to fill this gap and to give a concise overview and basic information on INSPIRE goals, legislation and thematic areas. The expected audience are policy and decision makers, providing essential information on INSPIRE. them We see the INSPIRE book as best way to showcase the work done by the Thematic Working Groups and Drafting Team. -Publication of INSPIRE book (Fall 2012) let s continue to INSPIRE

65 A common component of the NSDI? Everyone has access Anyone can use Geodata-info.dk as metadata solution Register Comply with ISO + INSPIRE standard requirements Open Source Nordic cooperation Geonetwork chosen as the platform Nordic countries share the costs of development which goes back to the trunk and community Other countries will then have the benefit of this cooperation
