EUROSION :
Motivation for an European SDI
and the role of spatial data within SDI
Project funded by the
European Commission
![Page 5: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
OBJECTIVE
“To provide the European Commission with a package of recommendations on policy and management measures to address coastal erosion in the EU.
These recommendations should be based on a thorough assessment of the state of coastline and of the response options available at each level of administration.”

From Data to Information
![Page 8: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
INFORMATION PROBLEMS
A large variety of formats exist
Many geographical gaps still remain
Reference systems are not harmonized
Many data sources are not consistent
Scales are not compatible
All data are not interoperable
Costs and access restrictions
![Page 9: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Issue No. 1 - A large variety of formats exists
Integration of various formats is time consuming and uncertain
- Satellite images
- Maps
- Aerial photographs
- Diagrams
- Statistics
- Reports
- Databases- Etc.
![Page 10: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Issue No. 2 – Many geographical gaps still remain
Geological data at scale 1:50,000(source: BRGM, France)
Need to identify the gaps and make priorities to bridge them
![Page 11: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Reference system 1 : ETRS89
Issue No. 3 - Reference systems are not harmonized
Need to define a common terrestrial reference system for data production and processing
Reference system 2 : Clarke 80

Issue No. 4 – Many data sources are not consistent
Need to build pan-european “seamless” data with standard specifications
![Page 13: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Issue No. 5 - Scales are not compatible
1:100,000 (source: SABE)
1:250,000 (source: WVS)
Need to adopt a common level of perception and representation of data

Issue No. 6 – All the data are not interoperableIssue No. 6 – All the data are not interoperable
![Page 15: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Issue No. 7 – Costs and access restrictions (1/2)
Most existing datasets are “copyrighted”: you do not
buy information itself, but a right to use it (“license”)
The more users will handle the data, the moreexpensive the license
Dissemination of end-products is restricted(sometimes, end-products have to be “degraded”)
Quality “label” are not commonly adopted : uncertaintyabout the products licensed
![Page 16: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Issue No. 7 – Costs and access restrictions (2/3)
28% acquisition of licensed data (e.g. Elevation)
17% update of existing data (e.g. Coastal Erosion)
33% production of missing data (e.g. Hydrodynamics)
24% Format conversion, integration, and quality control
EUROSION database = 2 Millions Euros

CONCLUSIONS
Higher investment costs (2 to 3 times)
Delayed implementation (8 to 10 months)
Uncertain quality
dissemination constraints
The absence of a European spatial data infrastructure results in:

Impact of INSPIRE Framework• Positive impact on the demand and supply of spatial
datasets and services• Positive impact on decision-making• Positive impact on cost savings• Positive impacts to streamline environmental policy-
making• Positive impact on human resources• Positive impact on professional education (GIS, data
visualization, navigation and positioning, • Positive impact on the social cohesion• Negative impact on current spatial data price policy at
national level• Negative impact on public sector investment at national
level
![Page 23: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The proposal
• General starting points, objectives and development processes for European SDI• Based on national SDIs• Focus on selected group of spatial data
(Annex I, II en III data/ integration-ambition and time)
• Main action points:1. Organise meta-data2. Standardise spatial data3. Develop network services4. Rules for data transfer and re-use
![Page 24: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Division of spatial data (Annex I, II and III)
![Page 25: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1.Organise meta-information• Member states: Description and management Meta-data• Annex I and II -> 2010; Annex III -> 2012• Starting point ISO-standard for metadata (ISO19115)
2. Standardise spatial data• formulate specifications • Establishment of common system for unambiguous
identification of objects, relations between objects, time and multilingual thesauri• Annex I -> 2009, Annex II and III -> 2013
![Page 26: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
3. Develop network services• Related to metadata and spatial data• Examples of potential services: Upload, Search,
View, Download and Analyse services • Member states: Central role to supply these services • Member States: Opportunity to limit access to public
![Page 27: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
4. Rules for data transfer and re-use
• Likely to be most politically difficult action -> establishment of rules
• Establishment of Directives and common licenseconditions
![Page 28: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Users• Governments and Administrations (EU, National, Regional, Local)• Utility and Public Services (Transport, Health, Emergency services, Utilities)• Research and development Organisations (Universities, Public and Private Institutes)• Commercial and Professional End Users (Tourism, Value Added Resellers, Surveyors)• Non-governmental Organizations• General Public

INSPIRE future (1/2) Establishment of EU-directive (similar as EU-habitat
directive and EU-framework directive Water)
Three stages:1) Preparation stage (2005 – 2006)
- Activities mainly political/content focussed- NL (VROM): Place on the agenda and support
activities (e.g. Nat. Congress GII)- Adaptations to proposal- Establishment of (implementation) directives- Establishment of profiles for metadata- Extend European Geo-Portal- Test technological concepts
Proposal change to INSPIRE-decision ->submission to EU-Parliament and Council
![Page 30: I N S P I R E INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe Spatial Data Infrastructures (Madrid) (22 December 2004)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d7d5503460f94a60141/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
2) Transposition stage (2007-2008) Establishment INSPIRE-commission -> control organ
(consisted of representatives of member states) Member states: Change directive in own law and rules
3) Implementation stage (2009-2013) Implementation of directive(s)
Periodical reporting about progress
