Nick LandEuroGeographics
WPLA workshop, AthensWPLA workshop, Athens 2
Presentation
• INSPIRE• Vision & scope• Policy measures• Timetable
• What does it mean for us
WPLA workshop, AthensWPLA workshop, Athens 3
INSPIRE• Legislative framework for an Infrastructure
for Spatial Information in Europe• DG Environment, Eurostat and JRC• Focus on Environment & formulation,
implementation, monitoring of policy at the Community level ….. promoting sustainable development
• PSI, 6th Environmental Action Programme (environmental reporting), Access to environmental information
WPLA workshop, AthensWPLA workshop, Athens 4
Obstacles & Policy measures1. Gaps in data2. Lack of documentation3. Incompatible datasets4. Lack of harmonised
services5. Restrictive data policies6. Poor coordination
1. List of essential pan-European datasets
2. Datasets documented to agreed metadata standards
3. Data available to agreed specifications
4. Establish services for viewing, accessing data
5. Licensing framework 6. Coordination structure

INSPIRE data themes• Geographical location• Administrative units• Properties, buildings &
addresses• Elevation• Geophysical
environment• Land Surface• Transport• Utilities & facilities• Society & Population
• Area regulation• Air & Climate• Hydrography• Oceans & seas• Biota/biodiversity• Natural resources• Risks• Areas under
anthropogenic stress

INSPIRE Timetable• Started end 2001• Position papers delivered October ’02
• May ’03: Public consultation• July ’03: Consultation within Commission • October ’03: Commission proposal• 2006/7: Adoption of framework legislation by
Council and Parliament• 2006/7+ Implementation
WPLA workshop, AthensWPLA workshop, Athens 8
Pre-implementation phase• Metadata profile• Specifications for INSPIRE datasets• Prototyping a ‘geo-portal’• Development of technical guidelines
(‘cookbook’)• Interoperability demonstrator
WPLA workshop, AthensWPLA workshop, Athens 9
Metadata• Specification – ISO profile• Conversion of data & maintenance• Linking individual metadata services (nodes)
within ‘a decentralised framework’• Timing:
• Discovery level services by 2008/9• More detailed information by 2011/12

Datasets• Agree the European specifications
• Semantic definitions• Unique identifiers• Minimum acceptable quality levels
• Ensure national databases can be ‘translated’ to European specifications• Potentially large ‘re-engineering’ task• Additional data capture in the future• More ‘joined up’ approach at national borders
• Timing: 2015 at the latest
WPLA workshop, AthensWPLA workshop, Athens 14
Licensing framework• Increasing focus on licensing, rather than
pricing• Pricing consistent with national policies (and
principles of subsidiarity) – no impact on current business models?
• INSPIRE proposes:• metadata should be free of charge• possible to view all data free of charge• some datasets should be free of charge e.g
Administrative boundaries• INSPIRE focuses on public sector data
WPLA workshop, AthensWPLA workshop, Athens 15
Diversity of pricing & licensing policies
Country Single user, internal business use
Belgium One-off license, the next license – 80%
Denmark One-off license, update 15%
France License for 10 years, update 10%
Germany One-off license, update 13%
Ireland Annual license including update
N. Ireland Annual license including update
WPLA workshop, AthensWPLA workshop, Athens 16
Licensing framework• Start by understanding the differences• Develop common terminology and
templates• Adopt common standards?• Transparency – publish on internet – and
consistency• Compliant with the relevant laws e.g
competition law, data protection

Financial impact• Currently assessing the incremental costs of
implementing INSPIRE• Comparison with other programmes
• Galileo: 3.4 billion euro programme• GMES: 350 million euros
