• Spatial data held by or on behalf of a public authority operating down to the lowest level of government when laws or regulations require their collection or dissemination

• INSPIRE covers 34 Spatial Data Themes laid down in 3 Annexes – required to successfully build environmental

information systems

INSPIRE’s participatory approach INSPIRE’s participatory approach

• To-date, over 650 organizations are registered as INSPIRE stakeholders– Providing experts, reference material, projects– Participate in user requirements survey– Participate in reviewing and testing of specifications– And learn from each other

• INSPIRE contributes to global solutions– INSPIRE is EU contribution to Global Earth Observation System of Systems

• Stakeholders participating in INSPIRE are international– Group on Earth Observations– United Nations Geospatial Information Working Group– Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS) of the United Nations– EuroGeographics– World Meteorological Organisation Region VI grouping (RAVI)– WMO Global Runoff Data Centre

• Stakeholders participating in INSPIRE are National • Stakeholders participating in INSPIRE are Projects

“Fitness for purpose testing”...

D 2.6

• The use cases and application scenarios for the environmental policies to be supported by the INSPIRE data specifications in this development cycle are identified.

• The use cases are described in sufficient detail to clarify the requirements regarding the data from the spatial data themes.

• Two separate, but closely related activities:

http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/201/consultation/45851

• Main aim of consultation:– Comment the data specification documents (V.2.0)– Domain-specific aspects and Cross-thematic aspects (overlaps and

gaps, inconsistencies)

• Main aims of testing:– To test data specifications (V2.0) against real spatial data – To report back to the INSPIRE CT and TWGs gained experience

• will be used to improve the data specifications for v3.0

• the basis for amendment of the Regulation on Interoperability of spatial data sets

• Testing Kick off meeting done (22 June2011

Exchange testing releated information

Now: Consultation & Testing 22 June- 21 October 2011

Consultation & Testing Consultation & Testing 22 June- 21 October 2011 22 June- 21 October 2011

• Documents for Consultation & Testing– D2.8.I.x Data Specification on <Theme Name> – Draft

Guidelines: 24 PDF documents– D2.5 Generic Conceptual Model updates

– D2.9 Guidelines for the use of Observations & Measurements and Sensor Web Enablement-related standards in INSPIRE Annex II and III data specification For Reference

– GML Application Schemas: 1 ZIP archive– UML Model (XMI, EAP, HTML)– The “INSPIRE Data Specifications Cost-benefit

considerations” document– INSPIRE Annex I testing summary report

15

• Feasibility testing main focus of testing– measure technical feasibility and effort related to transforming

existing data (e.g., from Member States’ organisations) into data compliant with the requirements and schemas proposed in the data specification documents

• Fitness for purpose testing– assess the benefits of harmonised data specifications from an end-

user or application point of view • Provide cost-benefit information

– Related to the testing– Contextual / not directly related to testing
