Dr. Saulius Urbanas

INSPIRE lays down general rules to establish 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.

INSPIRE to be based on the infrastructures for spatial information established and operated by the Member States.

INSPIRE does not require collection of new spatial data

INSPIRE does not affect existing Intellectual Property Rights

Few facts regarding to the INSPIRE directive

INSPIRE components

I. Metadata

II. Interoperability of spatial data sets and services

III. Network services (discovery, view, download, transform, invoke)

IV. Data and Service sharing (policy)V. Coordination and measures for Monitoring & Reporting

INSPIRE is a Framework DirectiveDetailed technical provisions for the issues above will be laid

down in Implementing Rules (IR)

Legal provisions Transposition to the national legislation

• Deadline – 15 May 2009 Adoption of Implementing Rules

Technical preparation Establishing National Spatial Data Infrastructure

• Platform, applications Launching metadata system Review of national SDI standards and SDI data

management tools Development of:

• interoperable tools• viewing and download services• data e-dissemination (licensing, e-commerce) means• monitoring

INSPIRE implementation

Transposition plan, approved by Government at 10th Sept 2008

NLS is responsible for development of infrastructural means for metadata, datasets, network services, sharing services and access to the INSPIRE portal functionality

Ministry of Environment is responsible for communication with EC (including reporting), monitoring of spatial data implementation and use

Definition of Lithuanian Geographical Information Infrastructure (LGII)

Introduction of Georeferential base Cadastre

Requirements for interoperability between state spatial data (datasets)

Requirements for access to state spatial (geographical) data

Funcional goal of Lithuanian Geographical Information Infrastructure (LGII): to develop an official Geographic Information source

system and Information Environment (Infrastructure) allowing the incorporation of GI into almost any Public Sector Information (PSI) service

Projects, related to LGII and INSPIRE implementation

Preparing to INSPIRE: core LGII development project, 2005-2008

LGII technological framework: Common data model concepts Data specifications Interoperability (data exchange / conversion)

mechanisms Metadata system Data dissemination / e-access to user

LGII central node and connections with related nodes Fully operational system (hw/sw) User interfaces (web-applications) Harmonised reference data (products) Recommendations for changes toward to legislations

The LGII project targets

Development of methodology

LGII vision LGII business model LGII administration model (legal framework) NMDP – National Meta Data Profile (standard) Spatial data classification catalogue (FACC) – all

Inspire themes Unified reference (base) data model (URDM)

Including definition of Unique identifiers (UIDs) Implementation methodology of URDM Reference (base) data harmonization

We feel being advanced technically implementing INSPIRE in Lithuania...

However major obstacles to be solved in organisational, financial and legal aspects...

For the end…

Thank you for the attention
