• Initiated, financed and led by the European Environment Agency
• Time period: September 2013 – October 2014• Project team composition (thematic domain, IT and GIS,
INSPIRE):– EEA experts– Experts from European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity
(ETC/BD)– External consultancy: Tracasa
• Additional involvement of Eionet is planned for specific testing with the outcomes of this project
Project information

• Common Database on Designated Areas:– European inventory– it holds information
about protected areas and the national legislative instruments, which directly or indirectly create protected areas
• INSPIRE Protected sites:– area designated or managed within a framework of
international, Community and Member States' legislation to achieve specific conservation objectives
– Update of INSPIRE PS Technical Guidelines was published on April 2014
Project topic

Project objectives
• through the prototype provide the CDDA data sets (European database) in conformity with the INSPIRE Protected sites data specifications (Implementing Rules and Technical Guidelines)
• knowledge building of INSPIRE implementation - share experiences within Eionet, with wider community implementing INSPIRE and with INSPIRE MIG
• proposals for the updates of the CDDA data flow and for the updates of relevant INSPIRE data specifications, if applicable
• to provide an input for the EEA workflows

Transformation workflow
![Page 9: Project “European CDDA and INSPIRE”: scope, transformation workflow and mapping rules INSPIRE Conference 2014 Workshop: Implementing Existing European.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e2d5503460f94b1d083/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Transformation basis
• INSPIRE Directive Art.7(3):– Spatial data sets shall be made available in conformity
with the implementing rules either through the adaptation of existing spatial data sets or through the transformation services referred to point (d) of Article 11(1)
• Transformation workflow is generic and applicable to any spatial data set to be transformed with regard to the required data specifications
• In this project, transformation workflow presents the way how to transform the existing European CDDA data sets with regard to the INSPIRE Protected sites

Transformation workflow – harmonisation process
• Initial/feasibility study of the transformation
• Identification of source and target data models
• Conceptual mapping• Development and documentation
of mapping rules
• Data transformation into GML
• Validation and testing of GML
• Publication of GML files

• Focus: to fulfil the complete INSPIRE PS Simple application schema (including voidable elements)
• Questions to answer:– Are the concepts the same – definition, purpose?– Which spatial objects, attributes and value domains can I map?– What are the gaps?– Is it possible to cover the gaps?– Do I need an extension to INSPIRE PS to keep the CDDA purpose?– What do I have to do if I don’t have data in my database, but this
is required by INSPIRE PS data specifications?– How to map between data formats?
• Check the mapping rules with real data from CDDA!

INSPIRE PS: a reference to the legal act that created the protected site!
CDDA: reference to the legal act establishing a designation type! Two attributes include information: Law and Lawreference
Different concepts between INSPIRE PS and European CDDA!
Mapping is not possible for European CDDA!
Data providers might have information at protected site level about the legal act that created protected site, which could correspond to INSPIRE PS legalFoundationDocument
Provided as voidable

INSPIRE PSpercentageUnderDesignation
CDDA
Conceptual mapping: details 6 / 7
The corresponding attribute is not explicitly provided in the CDDA
Implicit (default) value based on the CDDA purpose could be used for different designation types
For nationalDesignationTypeCategory and nationalDesignationTypeCode the default value is 100 (100% of site under the designation)
Information about the % of site under IUCN categories in not provided – this information is not known. Default value -1 is used (workaround!)
Difficulties in the case information is not known – how to respect no data, INSPIRE definition and voidable?
If a value is not provided for this attribute, it is assumed to be 100%.

Conceptual mapping: extended INSPIRE PS for CDDA purpose
Minimum extension of INSPIRE PS for the purpose of European CDDA keeps the important information on national designations together with the INSPIRE PS!
![Page 24: Project “European CDDA and INSPIRE”: scope, transformation workflow and mapping rules INSPIRE Conference 2014 Workshop: Implementing Existing European.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e2d5503460f94b1d083/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Working with INSPIRE voidable properties
• “voidable” in INSPIRE means:– for an attribute or association role a value of ‘void’ may be made
available if no corresponding value is contained in the spatial data sets maintained by the Member States or no corresponding value can be derived from existing values at reasonable costs.
• 2 types of voidable / nil reasons: INSPIRE and ISO (GML):
• ISO data types follow ISO NilReason
ISO 19136: NilReason typeINSPIRE
![Page 25: Project “European CDDA and INSPIRE”: scope, transformation workflow and mapping rules INSPIRE Conference 2014 Workshop: Implementing Existing European.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e2d5503460f94b1d083/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Conceptual mapping: summary on open issues
• Gaps in logical mapping – different concepts:– legislation related to the protected site in both data
models: European CDDA doesn’t require information on legal act creating the protected site, but at national or sub-national level information on legal foundation document might be needed and available
• Definition of INSPIRE PS attribute percentage of protected area under designation causes difficulties when this information is not known / not available in a data set
• Clear guidelines are needed how to use voidable / nil reasons: ISO nil reason and/or INSPIRE voidable reason!
![Page 26: Project “European CDDA and INSPIRE”: scope, transformation workflow and mapping rules INSPIRE Conference 2014 Workshop: Implementing Existing European.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e2d5503460f94b1d083/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Important to involve experts from the thematic domain(s)!• Conceptual mapping is time demanding, ensure enough time for
this transformation workflow step!• Don’t force mapping if the meaning / purpose of concepts is too
different!• The current CDDA data model is highly compatible with the INSPIRE
Protected sites Simple application schema• Recommendation: to fulfil and keep the CDDA purpose, the
minimum extension to INSPIRE PS is recommended to provide the national designations and categories
• All the code lists used in the extended CDDA-INSPIRE PS data model are already available:– http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/vocabulary/cdda/designationtypecategory/– http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/vocabulary/cdda/designations/
