IPR Pilot progress
• Representatives from 13 countries in 2011-12 & from most EIONET countries in June 2013
Optimisation of the formats & the data modelCommon code lists to support reportingOpen sharing of experiences with testing of B to G
• Information sharing of concepts and formats for datasets B to K
• Presentation of concept of JRC-prototype (cf INSPIRE-SEIS pilot) to support reporting of H to K
European Environment Agency
• Schema update to INSPIRE v3 data specifications Nov 2012INSPIRE timeline caused some issues arising from misalignment with the e-Reporting timeline
• NOW the schema is stable allows countries to ADVANCE & FINALISE their software systems
• Successful testing of the e-Reporting data model and schema for all core data flows
Key pilot study outcomes
