Practical application of INSPIRE in

Marine Mapping Data

INSPIRE Conference 30th June 2011

• HydroSpatial II– Marine Base reference

– Flexible Product packaging

– HydroSpatial II Data Specification

• INSPIRE Specification

• INSPIRE Mapping to HydroSpatial II

• Conclusion

Overview

> INSPIRE & HydroSpatial <> INSPIRE conference 2011, Edinburgh, UK <


• Definitive ‘single source’ marine reference base

• Specially design for Marine & Coastal planning applications and decision making processes

• Offers ‘best available’ & authoritative marine geographic information for all users not requiring navigation data

SeaZone HydroSpatial II - Marine Base Map



• Navigational charts traditionally used for marine planning– not best practice as underlying Features designed for navigation and not suitable to all marine

planning purposes

– Data tailored for navigation safety purpose

– Products cartographically designed to aid navigation

• Marine planners need an accurate picture of reality - a marine base

• Hydrospatial is designed for multi-purpose use within marine environment.

Your content – your way



• Complex and informative data product– >500 marine feature types across topics:

• Bathymetry

• Hydrology and Geology

• Habitats, Heritage and Environmental protection

• Infrastructures and Marine use

• Others

• Design to meet SDI requirements

• Implement the INSPIRE Directive and Implementing Rules in their marine data use

• Marine reference base for BLAST (Bringing Land and Sea Together)

HydroSpatial II – Data Specification



• INSPIRE need to be a balance– not too complex – to be adopted

– not too simple – to be valid specification

• To achieve this balance INSPIRE typically less complex than a topic data specification – (e.g. full data specification for marine planning)

• HydroSpatial II designed to be a flexible superset of marine spatial data– Can deliver marine data product that meet INSPIRE

– And more precise domain products beyond INSPIRE scope.

• HydroSpatial is designed to be international and therefore needs to address non-EU approaches

INSPIRE Specification



INSPIRE mapping to HydroSpatial II

1st stage

• Understanding & assessing INSPIRE specification

– SeaZone experts on INSPIRE for marine applications

– Working closely with Sea Regions theme WG

• SeaZone Feature to INSPIRE Feature mapping

– User can query feature based on INSPIRE

Buildings


• Wrecks– Def: Ship or aircraft lying on the seabed

• Has navigation, construction, recreation and heritage use case

– Does not seem to fit in any of the Inspire themes

• Suggestions welcome

• Hulk– Def: Permanently berthed ship

• Has recreational, heritage and residential use case, e.g. HMSBelfast near Tower Bridge in London

– Closest match is ‘ShorelineConstruction’ in HY Theme

• ShoreLineConstruction has no attributes so information that is a hulk is lost.

• Seabed Features– Def: The covering of the seabed, e.g. sand, rock, sand waves

• Has navigation, recreation, construction and biotope use case

• Not part of Land Cover or Geology

– Added to SR as part of V2.0 revision

• Possible move to BiologicalGeographicalRegions?

2nd Stage

• SeaZone Attribute to INSPIRE Attribute

• HydroSpatial II can then:

– Contain complex data specification with a linkage to INSPIRE specification (e.g. Themes, features, attributes)

Or

– INSPIRE constraint data specification

(e.g. Fully compliant)

• HydroSpatial marine base reference - ‘best practice’– Best available data and licence in one package

• Working closely with the INSPIRE drafting teams to ensure marine features are not orphaned

• HydroSpatial II is a flexible marine data product– Design for Marine applications

– Capable to deliver to the INSPIRE specification

– Adaptable to evolve with INSPIRE

Conclusion



Thank you
