This presentation argues that;
• INSPIRE remains a dream with national INSPIRE compliance alone
• Creating an “E” SDI from an “n”SDI needs standards• The resultant common reference unlocks PSI re-use• ESDIN has provided tools and best practice for you

A Comprehensive Quality Approach
![Page 14: ESDIN - the geospatial reference data and services for INSPIRE David Overton – Project Coordinator EuroGeographics Project Manager](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f355503460f94c52f6d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Generalisation Rules and Services

A Modular approach to Pricing and licensing – The Geo Product Finder
• License and access policy of European NMCAs
• Break-down of license models into modules
• One-stop-shop License wizard prototype: "Geo Product Finder"
![Page 16: ESDIN - the geospatial reference data and services for INSPIRE David Overton – Project Coordinator EuroGeographics Project Manager](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f355503460f94c52f6d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Gaining Access to Data
• Single-sign-on solution
• Development with OGC and communicated to INSPIRE.
![Page 17: ESDIN - the geospatial reference data and services for INSPIRE David Overton – Project Coordinator EuroGeographics Project Manager](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f355503460f94c52f6d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Testing the Infrastructure
Reusable automated test components for:
• spatial data• network services • data production
processes
Tools are available under the BSD Open Source License.

The management of Maintenance and Update
• Edge-matching rule sets improve cross border quality
• Stable Unique-Identifier logic address INSPIRE requirements
• Incremental change management allows flexibility in life-cycle and update management

![Page 20: ESDIN - the geospatial reference data and services for INSPIRE David Overton – Project Coordinator EuroGeographics Project Manager](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f355503460f94c52f6d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What about the future?
![Page 21: ESDIN - the geospatial reference data and services for INSPIRE David Overton – Project Coordinator EuroGeographics Project Manager](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f355503460f94c52f6d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
An example of viewing and downloading Hydrography
• Looks at Hydrography theme
• INSPIRE compliance• Does a number of
Name searches• Uses E.L.F./INSPIRE
demonstrator to view and download data
• Interoperates data with relevant environmental data.
<<See our video on Hydrography>>

There’s also...
• Software:BSD license• Deliverables• INSPIRE demonstrator• Tools for consistent data• A task force• Rules on quality processes

Mapping / Cadastral agency adopted
• NMCA decided to implement specifications
• Joined the Federation• Used the code; created INSPIRE
services• Adopted the E.L.F. extensions • Quality process • Made their data accessible via the
EuroGeographics architecture• Boosted usage of their data
![Page 24: ESDIN - the geospatial reference data and services for INSPIRE David Overton – Project Coordinator EuroGeographics Project Manager](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f355503460f94c52f6d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
When a European Agency used data
• Trusted quality data• Used the INSPIRE compliant
services with their partner data• Realised benefits
• Spent less time validating• More time analysing• Boosted their usage
![Page 25: ESDIN - the geospatial reference data and services for INSPIRE David Overton – Project Coordinator EuroGeographics Project Manager](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f355503460f94c52f6d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ESDIN becoming real now!
• EuroGeoNames• A test federation of
NMCAs provide an access for INSPIRE data & services
• EuroGlobalMap: creating from mid-scale data holdings
![Page 26: ESDIN - the geospatial reference data and services for INSPIRE David Overton – Project Coordinator EuroGeographics Project Manager](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f355503460f94c52f6d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conclusion –Prospects for the European Location Framework (E.L.F.)
• INSPIRE dream will not be realised, unless;
• ESDIN best practices are adopted for pan-European, Cross border data and services
• An emergent community supports the E.L.F.
