Existing Spatial Data Frameworks

• 27 national frameworks– Different levels of development– Different approaches

• European frameworks– INSPIRE– ROSATTE

Slide 3ITS AP - Digital Maps - 2nd Workshop – 21 June 2011

INSPIRE

• Goal: infrastructure for spatial information in Europe; support Community environmental policies, policies or activities that impact environment – in essence application agnostic

• INSPIRE Directive: 15th May 2007, common Implementing Rules– Metadata, Data Specifications, Network Services, Data and Service

Sharing and Monitoring and Reporting– IRs adopted as Commission Decisions or Regulations, binding. – However, no obligation for MS to collect specific spatial information.

• INSPIRE “Transport Networks”– “Road, rail, air and water transport networks and related

infrastructure.

• Builds on ISO 19100 series

Slide 4ITS AP - Digital Maps - 2nd Workshop – 21 June 2011

ROSATTE

• Goal: establish efficient and quality ensured data supply chain from public authorities to commercial map providers for safety related road content. Overall objectives: – Facilitate access to, exchange and

maintain European-wide core road safety spatial data from national/regional/local sources by standard procedures

– Enable multi-level aggregation and update of European-wide safety map data

• Aligned as much as possible with INSPIRE, e.g. metadata definitions

• Building on standards of ISO TC211 and ISO TC204

• Follow-up project planned

Fulfillment Content Requirements

• INSPIRE – Limited details of road geometry and attributes– But proven legal, organisational and technical framework

• ROSATTE – Tailored to needs of digital map users– Better description of road locations and ITS attributes – Location referencing issue– Pragmatic approach road attributes; most essential, allowing future

extensions

Slide 6ITS AP - Digital Maps - 2nd Workshop – 21 June 2011

Content Assessment per Application (1-5)

Deployment Options

• INSPIRE-centered option– Enhance road attribute descriptions– Develop quality levels per attribute– Adopt and improve a map-agnostic location

referencing method– Develop and adopt a trusted source classification

• ROSATTE-centered option– Improve map-agnostic location referencing method– Expand road attribute descriptions– Develop and adopt service discovery method– Establish separate organisation

• Hybrid solution– Adopt ROSATTE attribute descriptions and LR

method in INSPIRE– Implement ROSATTE data services within INSPIRE

service architecture, legal and organisational framework

– Develop and adopt a trusted source classification– Adopt and improve a map-agnostic location

referencing method
