I wouldn’t start from here

Purpose of the Roundtable

The INSPIRE DirectiveWhat is a Spatial Data Infrastructure What INSPIRE requiresWhat is in scopeOther datasets Data StandardsAcessibility and re-use

Why we as a community need a thematic SDIEfficiency savings Build not reinvent What we value How others view usOpen data

Existing trans-national initiatives?

Delivers efficiency

INSPIRE sets down the general rules for establishing an infrastructure for spatial information in Europe for the purposes of Community environmental policies and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment

• Data should be collected once and maintained at the level where this can be done most effectively

• The ability to combine seamlessly spatial data from different sources and share it between many users and applications

• Spatial data should be collected at one level of Government and shared between all levels

• Spatial data needed for good Governance should be available on conditions that are not restricting its extensive re-use • It should be easy to discover which spatial data is available, to evaluate its fitness for purpose, and to know which conditions apply for its use.

The INSPIRE Directive

• Requires that existing data held by member states is compliant with INSPIRE standards

• It does not require the creation of new datasets but it does state that when new datasets are created they must comply with INSPIRE standards

• INSPIRE requires Metadata for the creation and maintenance of searchable catalogues to identify what data is available, who holds it and any access constraints.

• INSPIRE requires data publishers to setup network servicesView Services (WMS) Transformation services (From British National Grid to WGS 84)Data harmonisation – consistent schemaDownload services (WFS and ATOM feed)

• INSPIRE outlines charging for public access to services

• Monitoring and reporting on INSPIRE compliance

• INSPIRE is about Public Sector data – it does not address data created by the private sector

Annex I Protected Sites and the wider Historic Environment

A Protected Site is defined as an

“Area designated or managed within a framework ofinternational, Community and Member States' legislation to achieve specific conservation objectives” [Directive 2007/2/EC].

“..a Protected Site is an area of land and/or sea especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources, and managed through legal or other effectivemeans.” [International Union for the Conservation of Nature]

Fieldwork is undertaken for a specific purpose • Contributes to the management and understanding • Documents a site at risk But lack of spatial co-ordination and standards limits Potential interest in the data and value beyond immediate usewhich requires Consistent standards Clear message

Topics for discussionINSPIRE addresses the publication of statutory datasets • Are we meeting our obligations?• What about the undesignated heritage? • Or the evidence that informs our interpretation?Application of standards Consistent metadata including technical standards Accessing information • Open access and rights management • Risk of open access• User experiences Monitoring – making the case

Possible actionsNeed to address the issue - STRATEGYWhat is already happening - DOCUMENTDeliver - IMPLEMENT

Which way?What unit of measurement?
