*Bit of a tricky one less than 25% of people got this right*

Introduction to INSPIRE:

Why

• We are under constant threat of:

– Climate Change

– Natural disasters

– Human, animal and plant disease

– Extinction of species

– Scarcity of resources (water, food, fuel)

Why has the INSPIRE Directive come into force

Why has the INSPIRE Directive come into force?

• To reduce and manage our impact on environment requires development and

implementation of environmental policies

• Good environmental policy-making requires access to a wide range of cross-

cutting information across all levels of Government:

– Policy Formulation

– Monitoring and Evaluation

– Modelling and Analysis

– Policy Delivery

– Regulation and Enforcement

– Reporting

Introduction to INSPIRE:

What, who, when, how

What is the aim of the INSPIRE Directive?

• INSPIRE Directive has been developed to provide Member States with a

consistent framework to develop a spatial data infrastructure that:

– Ensures that data and services being shared are interoperable

– Provides a consistent mechanism for publishing data and services that enables users to

discover, evaluate and access the data and services

– Reduce the barriers to accessing and using data and services related to sharing

agreements and rights management

Interoperability:

“Possibility for location-based data to be combined and services to interact without

repetitive manual intervention”

INSPIRE Directive

• INSPIRE Directive is a framework Directive and sets overarching obligations and

timescales for compliance

• The Directive must be transposed into national legislation

• The Directive is supported by Implementing Rules for:

– Metadata

– Interoperability of Spatial Datasets and Services

– Network Services

– Data and Service Sharing

– Monitoring and Reporting

• Each of these IRs will become Commission Regulations or Decisions and are

binding in entirety

– Be produced or received by a Public Authority, or

– Managed or updated by a Public Authority where it falls within the scope of its

public task

– Any other data provided by a third party provided access to the INSPIRE

network

– Definitive reference version of the data

What data and who will be required to comply with INSPIRE

Directive?

• Who are Public Authorities?:

– National, Regional and Local Government Authority

– Other Public Administration bodies (e.g. Public advisory bodies)

– Anyone performing public administrative functions under national law

– Anyone having public responsibilities or functions, or providing public

services on behalf of government authority or public administration

body

Need to update these

services to serve INSPIRE-

compliant data


What do you need to start doing

1. Identify which datasets fall within INSPIRE Annex themes

2. Identify whether you are the definitive data provider for that dataset

3. Start getting involved in INSPIRE initiatives within your MS

4. Gain an understanding of your timescales and business requirements for

getting ready for INSPIRE

5. Train your staff

6. Get goingHH.

– Get involved in testing/consultation of Annex II/III

– Create metadata for your dataset(s)

– Publish it to an INSPIRE catalogue service

– Set up a view service

– Configure transformations needed to publish your data to INSPIRE data specs

– Make data available to download online:

• HTTP/FTP download

• Direct access download services (e.g. WFS, SOS, WCS)

• Data ordering system
