Why?
Coordinate with other policies and discuss strategic direction
How?
• Main pillars Commission Expert Group on INSPIRE Maintenance &
Implementation (MIG) Permanent technical sub-group (MIG-T) Members for both proposed by MS
• In addition: Ad-hoc sub-groups for specific tasks Members from a “pool of experts” (proposed by SDICs
and LMOs)
• Commonly (MS/EC/EEA) agreed multi-annual rolling work programme (MIWP) to govern the work by the MIG.

Overview
• Validation & conformity testing (MIWP-5)• Registers and registries (MIWP-6)• TGs & tools for observation & coverage data
(MIWP-7a+b)• Updated Metadata TG (MIWP-8)• Theme-specific issues (MIWP-14)• INSPIRE monitoring dashboard (MIWP-16)• Updated SDS TG• Best practices for data model extensions
Validation & conformity testing – Why?
• In the implementation phase there is a need for tools for validation (of metadata, services, data) for implementers to understand where they are with their
implementation & where there are gaps for national coordinators for monitoring the
implementation in their countries for DG ENV/JRC/EEA to monitor the implementation
across Europe for solution providers to check their software solutions
against the INSPIRE requirements
• Validation service available from JRC and in some Member States and projects duplication of effort potentially inconsistent results
Validation & conformity testing – Status• Start ARE3NA activity on validation, Dec 2015• Completion ATS development (MD+NS), June 2016• 1st release INSPIRE testing framework and ETS: Aug 2016• Completion ARE3NA activity on validation, June 2017

INSPIRE testing framework and ETS (1st release)Wed, 28/9, 12:30 – INSPIRE standThu, 29/9, 13:30 – INSPIRE stand
Registries and registers – Why?
• MS need to build registries and use the central INSPIRE registers
• Guidelines needed for extending central INSPIRE registers register federation
• Priorities for the further development (functionality and content) of the central INSPIRE registry to be discussed between EC and MS
• Procedures and decision-makingrules needed for a control body for the central INSPIRE registers
Registries and registers – Status
• Guidance / best practices document finalised Best practices for setting up registers / registries
– for register managers & users INSPIRE Register Federation – Overview How to join the INSPIRE register federation
– for register managers How to use the INSPIRE register federation
– for register users Annexes (examples of descriptors, validation stylesheet)
• Register of Registers (RoR) prototype http://inspire-regadmin.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ror

TGs & tools for observation &coverage data – Why?• Many Annex II+III data sets are
based on observations or coverages
• Available solutions in TGs for Download services (WFS and Atom) not suited for providing direct access to observation or coverage data
• Additional opportunities by sharing data using SOS/WCS
TGs & tools for observation & coverage data – Status• Technical Guidelines for Download Services based on SOS
and WCS (INSPIRE SOS/WCS profiles) MIG-T review completed
• Update of D2.9 Guidelines for the use of O&M and SWE MIG-T review completed Focus on implementers Guidance tailored to INSPIRE Previously existing content as Annexes Simpler and shorter document Alignment with TG for download services
• SOS Open Source Implementation (52North) with support for additional observation types (e.g. PointObservation, ProfileObservation, TrajectoryObservation, …)
TGs & tools for observation & coverage data – Status

Session Network services, Wed, 29/9, 14:00, H2
Updated Metadata TG – Why?
• Implementation experience since 2009• Two updates planned June and December to
address identified issues: Metadata for SDS Integrate metadata for interoperability Language neutral identifiers Unique Resource Identifier Coupled resources Conditions applying to access and use Harmonized restrictions/licenses Integrate Theme specific metadata Relation to ISO19115-1:2014 Conformance classes in registry Metadata for monitoring Add Abstract Test suite
Updated Metadata TG – Status
• Updated TG draft MIG-T review completed Including all requirements on metadata from different
legal acts Conformance classes for– Data sets– Network services– Spatial data services
TG re-structured following ISO 19139 Requirements language improved based on MIWP-5
feedback
Many presentations on metadata, e.g.
Martin Seiler: Quo Vadis Geospatial Metadata? Fri, 30/09/2016, 11:00 - Technologies and tools required to deliver INSPIRE, H3
Theme-specific issues – Why?
• Many implementation questions, approaches, best practices and planned extensions are theme-specific
• A number of theme-specific issues have been raised for several data specification TGs
• TGs still allow some degrees of freedom for implementing the IRs develop “harmonised” approaches for implementation.
• Discuss links to other environmental policies and reporting obligations
Theme-specific issues – Status
• Thematic Clusters platform Discussion of concrete theme-specific implementation
issues Important source for identifying
implementation issues– Simplification / bug-fixing of TGs– Community implementation
knowledge base Dedicated thematic webinars, e.g.
– Coverages, GeoSciML, land cover / land use New facilitators for O&M & EF (Kathi Schleidt, AT) and
Biodiversity & AM Cluster: Stefania Morrone (IT)
• Document of IR issues and TG change requests based on mature discussions on the platform consolidated by MIWP-14 sub-group MIG-T and MIG-P review completed
Some stats (Sep 2016) …• 705 registered members• 50 groups & sub-groups• 441 discussion topics• 1000+ responses• 76 pages on specific topics

Workshop Merging statistics and geospatial information – Lessons learned towards INSPIRE –Mon, 26/9 14.00-18.00, H1
INSPIRE monitoring dashboard – Why?
• Need to improve the usefulness and reliability of monitoring information
• Investigate how to automate the calculation of monitoring indicators while relying on metadata
• Design (and prototype) a dashboard providing access to all monitoring information and related indicators for every Member State
INSPIRE monitoring dashboard – Status
• Mapping between metadata and monitoring variables
• Proposal for discarding (and adding) some monitoring indicators
• Implementation of dashboardhttps://inspire-dashboard.eea.europa.eu/official
• Dashboard published as Open Sourcehttps://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/daobs/
Stefan Jensen: INSPIRE monitoring 2016 -report on member state progress in implementing the directive – This Session
Updated SDS TG – Why?
• Unclear what “Spatial data services” are• Relationship SDS – NS unclear• Requirements for SDS in different legal acts
(metadata, data interoperability)• Current TGs require extensions of standard ISO
19115/19119/19139 metadata (link to MIWP-8)
Updated SDS TG – Status
• Updated TG was developed by an ad-hoc sub-group of MIG-T
• TG for SDS metadata have been incorporated in updated MD TG
• MIG-T and MIG-P review completed
No presentations on SDS?
Data model extensions – Why?
• Data sets in MS are often much richer (and thus more valuable/useful for many applications) than the data models in the data interoperability IRs and TGs
• To preserve this richness and value specifications have to be extended.
• Extensions can be done in many different ways, and data providers often don’t know where/how to start or which approaches are recommended under which conditions
• Aim: Collect, analyse and document patterns for extending INSPIRE data models
Data model extensions – Status
• 2 workshops to collect existing examples and discuss patterns with community experts
• Outcomes: Inventory of existing Model Extensions Extension Methodology and MDA Summary Pattern Catalogue End-to-End Tutorial Project Documentation – http://inspire-extensions.wetransform.to/
Workshop INSPIRE Extensions: Guidance for building data models on the Data Specifications, Mon, 26/9, 9:00 & 11:00, B1-B2
