INSPIRE How far is INSPIRE implemented in the Western Balkan? (N)SDI started INSPIRE not started
INSPIRE vs. SDI INSPIRE lays down general rules to establish common infrastructures for spa&al informa&on in all member states of the EU Lists 34 spa&al data themes ranging from Cadastre parcel to Habitats and Biotops INSPIRE does not require collec&on of new spa&al data Legally binding for public ins&tu&on which are holding or owning data listed in the 34 annex themes to make their data accessible as Metadata View Service Download Service INSPIRE allows the possibility to limit the accessibility to certain users or to apply fees
Success factors of NSDIs Build a consensus process - build on common interests and create a common vision Establish the ins&tu&onal and policy framework Make spa&al data and metadata available and accessible: this is the essence of SDI Create poli&cal support User awareness
Challenges & Obstacles Early phase of SDI implementa&on Mo&va&on, Incen&ve SDI strategy SDI legal framework SDI implementa&on
Challenges & Obstacles Mo&va&on for SDI Less mo&vated by Aarhus Conven&on or Data Sharing Cadastre and tradi&onal NMCA tasks are driving topics Investments, land property taxa&on and economic development
Challenges & Obstacles Percep&on and scope of SDI A geoportal doesn t make a SDI Real data sharing needs more then one data provider In all countries SDI shall be implemented by NMCAs Interest of NMCAs is rather focused on certain topics (e.g. cadastre, fee based data provision) than on collabora&ve SDI approach Limited mutual support (na&onal and interna&onal) between the stakeholders
Step forward in legisla&on Croa&a Law in force (INSPIRE transposi&on) Macedonia Drak Law Kosovo * Drak Law Albania New Law in force BiH, FBiH Drak Law Serbia WG established to prepare Drak Law
Challenges & Obstacles Legal framework SDI laws are in place or in drak process in most of the countries SDI strategies (bigger picture) are underdeveloped or not exis&ng SDI law is oken insufficient to ini&ate a SDI on na&onal level (rather focused on the local NMCAs and the topic of cadastre) Problems in law enforcement

Services Several Geoportals (not only NMCAs) But Purely developed service infrastructure Geoportals offer viewing and discovery func&onali&es S&ll no CSW and WFS service point No real shared infrastructure
Challenges & Obstacles
Further needs Stressing the collabora&ve approach of SDI (in communica&on, law and technical implementa&on) Coopera&on and mutual support between stakeholders Bener intregra&on of environmental data providers (for INSPIRE) Cross border pilot projects involving stakeholders Mixed funds to create ownership and responsibility Create technical capaci&es for a data infrastructure Long term perspec&ve for coopera&on between stakeholders
