INSPIRE ComponentsINSPIRE is a Framework Directive – 2007/2/EC Detailed technical provisions are laid down in Implementing Rules on
• Metadata – (Reg. 1205/2008)• Interoperability of spatial data sets and services (Reg.
1089/2010)• Network services (discovery, view, download, transform,
invoke) (Reg. 976/2009)• Data and Service sharing (policy) (Reg. 268/2010)• Coordination and measures for Monitoring & Reporting (EC
Decision 2009/442)
Once adopted, Implementing Rules become European legislative acts and national law in 28 Member States and in some EFTA countries
Entry into force 15 May 2007

… sharing reusable components for INSPIRE implementation and for interoperability in cross-border/cross-sector contexts.… sharing reusable components for INSPIRE implementation and for interoperability in cross-border/cross-sector contexts.
A Reusable INSPIRE Reference Platform
ISA Action 1.17
Examples of what has been done
• Creation of ARE3NA community on JoinUp to share and organise assets and in INSPIRE Forum
• Populating ARE3NA inventories (+ plans to share outputs via JoinUp)
• Creation and publication of a reusable Re3gistry and INSPIRE Registry as an operational service instance (plus user feedback for development)*
• Designing and developing a prototype open source platform for processing, integrating and visualizing volunteered/crowd-sourced data
• Updated INSPIRE metadata guidelines (just published)
• Contributing to other ISA actions to help reuse of components
*http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/registry
ARE3NA main goals 2014
• A study and open source testbed for Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) to data and services
• Common methodology for publishing INSPIRE as linked data and study for the governance of persistent identifiers for location in Europe (with EULF)
• Open Source reference implementation of the sensor observation service standard compliant with INSPIRE download services
• PLUS Identify more existing components and address more missing items (in INSPIRE and with other interoperability activities) through the ARE3NA ‘Survey’ (deadline 30 Nov ‘13)

Delivering growth and better services through "location-enabled government"
30/16InGeoCloudS 2nd Workshop: Brussels, 21 November
Summary
• INSPIRE is a process (full implementation beyond 2020)• The legal framework has been established (last IR on SDS in
mid 2014)• Implementation of INSPIRE is entering a new phase (the
focus is now on MSs)• INSPIRE MIF established • Evolution of INSPIRE (e-Reporting, Powered by INSPIRE)• INSPIRE is integrated into wider EU ICT activities (ISA, EIF,
Open Data, Standardisation, 7th EAP)• INSPIRE is the opportunity for EU innovation!! (smeINSPIRE)
31/16InGeoCloudS 2nd Workshop: Brussels, 21 November
INGeoCloudS possible interactions with INSPIRE/ISA/JRC
• Registering of experts for the INSPIRE MIF• Providing reference material, best practices, identified gaps, re-usable SW tools etc.
• to INSPIRE MIF (INSPIRE Forum, MIF Forum?)• to ISA ARE3NA joinup platform
• Providing feedback to • ISA ARE3NA survey for missing re-usable SW components• INSPIRE Directive mid term evaluation consultation (survey from 1.1. 2014)• update of the PSI Directive (public consultation – now!)
• Organize a joint Technical workshop at JRC – ISPRA (Jan/Feb 2014) – Open, Big data, cloud computing..

• Answers to INGeoCloudS Questions
33/16InGeoCloudS 2nd Workshop: Brussels, 21 November
1. Is fulfilling INSPIRE performance requirements a regular issue for organisations? - In some cases yes, but we provide almost on-line technical help which usually helps.
2. Other known examples of cloud usage? – Yes, UK (Ordnance Survey).
3. Our infrastructure supports sharing and mutual usage by different data provider: is it the right trend to go? National/Regional, Domain, European? – Yes it is a possible scenario.
Answers to the INGeoCloudS questions:
34/16InGeoCloudS 2nd Workshop: Brussels, 21 November
4. About conceptual modelling, are there at JRC some exploratory actions (or more advanced ones) towards usage of LinkedData / Semantic web technologies? – Yes, some exploratory work has been done on Metadata (DCAT, EU Open Data portal) + some on the INSPIRE data themes e.g. road, addresses, administrative units – pilot in the framework of the ISA CORE Location Vocabulary + the use of http URIs is recommended (INSPIRE GCM 3.4).
5. Are there other works currently investigated about INSPIRE (AAA, URIs, taking into account SOS... )? – yes, individually each of these should be investigated within the Are3NA ISA 2014 work program. The AAA also with the relation to the update of the PSI Directive… + INSPIRE Registry in RDF (mid 2014)
