Implementing INSPIRE at Statistics Sweden

Benefits from the INSPIRE datasharing

Marie HaldorsonDeputy Director, Statistics Sweden

INSPIRE Conference Istanbul 2012

What’s in it for the NSI’s?


Oh no..

• Yet another directive

• New demands

• Two ’worlds’ have to meet


But, wait a minute..

• The aims of INSPIRE resembles the aims of the ESS – the

European Statistical System

• Need for harmonisation

• Data should be kept at national level


How to become INSPIRE compliant?

• Identify relevant INSPIRE themes

• Identify what should be considered as spatial datasets

• Competence – in-house or consultants?

• Find a technical solution for view- and download services

that works well with your data storage


INSPIRE Data Themes

ANNEX III

1. Statistical units

2. Buildings

3. Soil

4. Land use

5. Human health and safety

6. Utility and governmental services

7. Environmental monitoring facilities

8. Production and industrial facilities

9. Agricultural and aquaculture facilities

10. Population distribution —

demography

11. Area management/restriction/ regulation zones and reporting units

12. Natural risk zones13. Atmospheric conditions14. Meteorological geographical

features15. Oceanographic geographical

features16. Sea regions17. Bio-geographical regions18. Habitats and biotopes19. Species distribution20. Energy resources21. Mineral resources

Competence

• It takes some time to understand..

• In-house or consultants?

• Close cooperation with the national contact point

• Bench-mark!


Technical solution

• Find a technical solution for view- and download services

that works well with your data storage

• Capacity on the web servers

• Metadata – reuse, updates, uploads


The Geodata CooperationAgreement


The Geodata CooperationAgreement

• In order to fulfil the INSPIRE requirement on data sharing

between public authorities a special Geodata Cooperation

Agreement was put in place in Sweden 2011.

• The agreement is managed by the national mapping and

cadastre authority, Lantmäteriet.

• Parties in the cooperation are authorities with an

information responsibility and municipalities, government

agencies and other organizations with official duties.


The Geodata CooperationAgreement• The parties in the Geodata Cooperation offer each other

their spatial data for official use at an annual fee.

• The INSPIRE regulation = minimum requirement, the

Swedish Geodata Strategy gives the cooperation a

broader scope: the aim is to include as much spatial

information as possible.

• Statistics Sweden signed the agreement 1 January 2011

and has since then shared spatial information with the

other parties - today 21 authorities and 66

municipalities.


Localities


Small area statistics

Quality Improvements in Land Use Statistics


Delineation of localities


Identifying new localities


Fyrkanten motsvarar ytan av byggnaderi tätort i Sverige (53 000 ha)

Fyrkanten motsvarar ytan avalla byggnader i Sverige (93 000 ha)

Fyrkanten motsvarar ytan av allindustribebyggelse i Sverige (10 500 ha)

Ölands yta är134 700 ha

Fyrkanten motsvarar ytan avbostadsbebyggelsen i Sverige (39 000 ha)

Fyrkanten motsvarar ytanav bostadsbebyggelsen i tätorter (25 000 ha)


Quality improvements

• The enhanced possibilities to combine register information

with geodata comprises a huge potential.

• Many of the surveys on land and water use undertaken by

Statistics Sweden will benefit greatly from this within the

coming years.

• Some applications, such as the delineation of localities, are

straight forward while other are more complex and require

efforts to develop new methods.


Benefits from a SDI


The Swedish SDI

Based on

• a strategy document

• established organisation for coordination

• an efficient standardisation work

• a technical solution – the Geodata Portal

• implementation of the INSPIRE Directive

• a new model for cooperation


Quality benefits

• A national statistical institute can gain benefits from a spatial data infrastructure, with possibilities to combine data sources and integrating data

• Statistics Sweden has already been able to improve the statistical production process and get statistical output of higher quality, but there are still a lot of spatial datasets to discover in the broad variety of INSPIRE themes.
