Interoperability of data –

The starting point ...

user user

dataset dataset dataset

... ...

• Access to spatial data in various

ways

• User has to deal with interpreting

heterogeneous data in different

formats, identify, extract and post-

process the data he needs

lack of interoperability

• Provide access to spatial data via

network services and according to a

harmonised data specification to

achieve interoperability of data

! Datasets used in Member States may

stay as they are

! Data or service providers have to

provide a transformation between their

internal data model and the harmonised

data specification

Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection (COM(2006)231 “soil is generally defined

as the top layer of the earth’s crust, formed by mineral particles, organic matter,

water, air and living organisms. It is the interface between earth, air and water

and hosts most of the biosphere”.
