Marc LeobetFor French Point of Contact

Closer, cheaper, faster :French implementation

between rupture and developments

MIG/LBT - 29.06.11

Three legs to run safer

• Closer : implementations cannot be satisfied only by EC technical guidelines

• Cheaper : new economic model of IGN

• Faster : minds are evolving faster than some expected

• We enter in the era of implementation of rules.

MIG/LBT - 29.06.11

Since last INSPIRE Conference

• Transposition is done

• The national structure of coordination is renewed, supported by IGN, the French mapping agency

• Regional coordination is strengthened

• Data sharing joins PSI directive in Open Data movement

MIG/LBT - 29.06.11

What are we?

MIG/LBT - 29.06.11

Metadata : toward French guidelines

• Translation of guidelines, with examples from local authorities

• Definitions : spatial datasets (to better report) :– A set of geographic data released on a dominant theme.

• Managing INSPIRE and ISO rules– Leading data managers are confortable with ISO and

reluctant to change to Metadata implementing rules

– Tools will stay in ISO, so we decide to develop INSPIRE template

MIG/LBT - 29.06.11

Metadata : toward French guidelines

• Recommandations for developpers

• Recommandations for spatial data managers– To escape from traps of misunderstanding

• A regret : it would be better to work with other SM– But time is lacking and we run in our lane

MIG/LBT - 29.06.11

Data sharing

• A major framework agreement between Government and IGN

• Funding the entire production of reference elements underpinning most local productions

• For public authorities, except commercial activities

• Through the web :– published in wms & wms-c

– Co-visualisation of INSPIRE datasets on French Geoportal

MIG/LBT - 29.06.11

Update of adress process

• Today :– A lot of flux, not well monitored,

– Quality of databases under question

– a very ineffective situation (for emergency and postal services)

• A thematic working group with local and national public authorities, Postal Agency, IGN…

• Tomorrow ?– Tri-level synchronisation

– A national Adress dataset

MIG/LBT - 29.06.11

Open data surge

• More and more cities come to Open Data.

• Most of the time, it is based on spatial datasets,

• Sometimes through web services.

• The French Government launches its Open Data policy – Data.gouv.fr website will open by the end of 2011

• It should be a consumer of French SDI

MIG/LBT - 29.06.11

In conclusion

• Coordination is growing :– (First?) Working group for a better organisation of a

reference data production

– Experience sharing between local and national

• An larger dissemination of reference data

• An Open data surge using (or made possible by) SDI

INSPIRE directive gives a frame to structural changes

A new frontier is at hand!
