  1. Biodiversity Data Center meetingCopenhagen 29. Sept. 2009 • How does the BDC support the user needs • by the example of BAP and SEBI - ETC / BD

  2. Water Policy Data and Themes Projects News

  3. BISE Biodiversity in Europe Data and Themes Biodiversity Policy Projects News BISE is a partnership between the European Commission (Env, JRC, Eurostat) and the European Environment Agency The main roles and responsibilities of the partners are …

  4. Documents used BAP List of key information sources Lessons learned Country profile SEBI List of indicators Overview on current uses of indicators by EEA and DG Env Roadmap for the production of indicators Links between BAP objectives/supporting measures and SEBI indicators SOER Biodiversity Part C: countries perspective

  5. Which indicators / statistics are used by whom ? • Source: ETC/BD paper: Overview of current uses of indicators by EEA and European Commission

  6. Sufficiency indexdata source: Natura 2000 data DG Env webpage EEA indicator page http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/map.asp?id=21196 EUROSTATstructuralindicators

  7. Data flow and production of indicator What is ongoing / needed next?- MS report data via Reportnet- Qa/qc done automatic (in preparation) + manually (EEA / ETC_BD) - European Natura 2000 database compiled twice a year- Calculation of statistics implemented (?)- Data used in DG Env internal application - Filter for sensitive species implemented- Data (subset) used for public viewer (how to link to national documentation systems)- Versioning and audit trail is complex, how to improve documentation?- SDF under revision inter alia to fill the gap for percentage of marine area in sites parameter which is often needed for statistics - switch to xml is planned - adjustments of datastructure and qa/qc routines have to be made in early 2010 - import routines / integration in EUNIS planned (2009)

  8. Improvement of indicator CSI008 OverlayofCDDAand Natura 2000 sites Nationallydesignated areas (CDDA) EEA priority data flow

  9. CDDAdataflow What needs to be done next? continue the help desk function in order to support data providers automise extraction of data from Reportnet and merge datasets qa/qc improvement of routines, but manual checks still necessary mechanisms developed for N2K, can they be used for CDDA as well? INSPIRE Annex I protected areas (simple profile) clarification roadmap to switch from upload to use of services registry in Geoportal / EEA ??? CDDA is considered as regional (European) part of World Database on Protected Areas consolidation of cooperation with UNEP / WCMC necessary, MoA will Natura 2000 data be accessible for WDPA ???

  10. InformationNetworking Global WDPA European CDDA …. Regional National AU BE … Sub-National INSPIRE Registry discovery services

  11. Production of the Indicator • CDDA and Natura2000 database maintained in BDC • Compilation of indicator by means of GIS • clarification responsibilities who will produce the indicator • (ETC/BD ?) • Documentation of methodology to ensure repeatability • Indicator management system (IMS or easier to use alternative) • Data underlying the graph of the indicator located in BDC • Flexible tool to visualise data (graphs, maps) • easy way to link / use indicator for reports (e.g. BAP)

  12. Proposal for CSI 007 Conservation Status – Species by Biogeographical Region

  13. Example: National assessments of beaver Use of Art 17 data for policy relevant messages Examples: What is the conservation status of freshwater animals? National assessments of beaver

  14. What does this mean for the BDC • Indicator has to be part of a EEAs IMS (or easier tool) • Products based on Article 17 data (like 10 messages) developed by ETC/BD • accessible via ETC/BD webpage, maintained in circa • EUNIS should include Article 17 data (subset) • and linkage to Article 17 tool, • Habitats types included in EUNIS hab. classification • Species module handles names as used in HD, as used by MS, mapping of misspellings, synonyms, nomenclature, (in future global name index ?) • Categories (like freshwater species) should be part of species module • Direct access to Article 17 results via ETC/BD Art. 17 webpage • (MS and EU level, per species, habitat, biogeographic region) • All original MS deliveries to be found in ReportNet

  15. For information (statistics) that is required often and by different users (ENV, AGRI, …) / regularly data analysis should be implemented Comparison of what is inside and outside the networks e.g. % of main Annex I habitats within Natura 2000 network % of certain CLC classes within Natura 2000 network (e.g. Forest, Grassland, …) Statistics used for different spatial units EU, biogeographic level, per Member state but based on same datasets Who does this analysis regularly ? Where do we maintain information (concepts) like: Which CLC considered as Forest in which context? What are the farmland species and habitats? What are marine habitats, species? Which are the invasive species? Habitats / species association? BDC EUNIS-species module, EUNIS-habitats classification? ontology, list of excel files ?

  16. Indicator produced by contractor (here: BRG) Data sources: for some countries national inventories available FAO database (DADIS), reporting cycle? BDC: raw data used for the calculation of the indicator should not be maintained in the BDC - but the data underlying the graph (IPR to clarify with contractor)

  17. 6 Crop specific network (fruits, vegetables…) • In situ and On farm Conservation network • Documentation and Information network Eurisco is an example for a datapool, where countries already share information for specific policy relevant areas (inter alia on MTA relevant for Treaty) -> cooperation with documentation network might be considered Forest: unitslocatedinnativetreepopulations

  18. European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) • Agricultural cross-compliance measures • INVEKOS data available for analysis ???

  19. BAP and SOER Both reports need data and information provided by countries (EC Member States, EEA EIONET, collaborating countries) What is common for both reports, SEBI indicators are an important component of these reports BAP country profile – SOER part C? SENSE: Shared European National State of the Environment An EEA initiative for the national input to SOER 2010 Idea: to have uptodate information from the country in a structured way SENSE will use the XML-RDF format to automatically fetch, synchronise, publish and share national SOER information via the EEA website Using RSS feed this information kept on national level can bee seen also as a delivery to Reportnet content registry

  21. Deliveries for BDC in 2009 + 2010should focus on: • Further improvements for the main data flows • Production of SEBI indicators • Enhancement of EUNIS (incl portal) • Country profiles • Further analysis of DC requirements for BDC/BISE • Review and further development of concept paper
