  1. EuroSpec and INSPIRE :a framework for EuroBoundaries Claude Luzet, Programme Manager

  2. Why geographic information is (more & more) European  Governance & the citizen e.g. disaster management  Industry & Businesse.g. ADAS Increasing EU/EC need for GIe.g. agriculture, water GMES, Galileo  Legislative developments

  3. INSPIRE • DIRECTIVE establishing an infrastructure for spatial information in the Community, for the purposes of Community environmental policies and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment • “infrastructure for spatial information" means metadata, spatial data sets and spatial data services; network services and technologies; agreements on sharing, access and use; and coordination and monitoring mechanisms, processes and procedures, established, operated or made available in accordance with this Directive

  4. CHAPTER III : interoperability of spatial data sets and services (Article 10 ) 2. In order to ensure that spatial data relating to a geographical feature the location of which spans the frontier between two or more Member States are coherent, Member States shall, where appropriate, decide by mutual consent on the depiction and position of such common features.

  5. INSPIRE – two faces • Legislative process • Following the co-decision process: adopted 2nd semester 2005 (?) • >>> Entry into force in 2007 • Implementing Rules • Will define how the Directive is implemented • Will be decided through the Comittology process • Key actors : the Drafting Teams • Composition announced on 24th June • Work to be immediately launched

  6. Nominations to INSPIRE

  7. INSPIRE Drafting Teams & EuroGeographics • Metadata  EuroMapFinder, plus ExG Quality • Data Specifications  IDS - Information & Data Specifications Expert Group • Network Services  DSA – Distributed Services Architecture Expert Group • Data and Service Sharing  Legal & Commercial Issues Expert Group • Monitoring and Reportingout of scope

  8. EuroGeographics vision & long term goals • Vision : Seamless access to national reference information (mapping and related land and property information) for the benefit of the pan-European or cross-border customer. • Main Goals : Technical interoperability Business interoperability Distributed architecture • Organisational framework  the EuroSpec Programme

  9. EuroSpec is : a programme of work of EuroGeographics established to • realise the common vision of EuroGeographics’ Members • provide INSPIRE with the underpinning consistent reference information required as the foundation of the ESDI • coordinate the existing and future activities of EuroGeographics within a consistent framework for best efficiency towards the common goals

  10. Reference Information vs. INSPIRE components ANNEX I (6/7) • 1. Coordinate reference systems • 2. Geographical grid systems • 3. Geographical names • 4. Administrative units • 5. Transport networks • 6. Hydrography • 7. Protected sites ANNEX II (4/5) • 1. Elevation • 2. Identifiers of properties • 3. Cadastral parcels • 4. Land cover • 5. Orthoimagery ANNEX III (2/19) • 1. Statistical units • 2. Buildings

  14. EuroBoundaries, two complementary drivers • Contributing to the harmonised boundary “definition” • National internal consistency, e.g. between Cadastre parcels & topography, at all scales • Bilateral agreements for common boundary lines, Boundary Commissions • (Always) aiming at highest accuracy • Contributing to European GI interoperability : Boundary “description” • Tool for edge matching of national Base Reference Information • Using existing data as a starting point • Aiming at widest coverage > accuracy to be improved in future updates
