  1. GI Workshop- IST Conference, Nice 2000 Setting up the European Territorial Management Information Infrastructure Space Applications Institute Directorate General Joint Research Centre European Commission 21020 Ispra (VA), Italy http://www.sai.jrc.it Alessandro Annoni ETeMII

  2. Why ETeMII ? • ETeMII is an Accompanying measure to supportthe European Territorial Management Information Infrastructure [Contract 1999-12096] • support to IST programme in the field of GI • focus on content: KA 3 • Address GI aspects of European policies • focus on Green Paper on Public Sector Inf. and eEurope • to support sectorial policies : environment, transport, regional policy, agriculture, fishery,.. and space policy (EO, GNSS), • Breaking the barriers for the GI-GIS interoperability • to address trans-national applications • Establish European guidelines/standards/best practice GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  3. Main aims of ETeMII • To build consensus on technical issues: • reference data, data access policy (metadata, thesauri) • interoperability, standards implementation • integration with EO, GNSS and telecom • participation to global initiatives: OGC, ISO, GSDI, … • Awareness activity • To organise a network of excellence • stakeholders of territorial management: users and providers • targeting FP4 & FP5 projects dealing with GI GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  4. Partnership • National GI associations • GISFORM, AFIGEO, CNIG • European associations • EUROGI, AGILE, MEGRIN • European Commission • JRC/SAI • Consulting companies, University • GERE, GEOBASE Consulting, TUV • Industry, users • SIEMENS - SICAD, OGC Europe GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  5. Project = 7 Workpackages • 1 -Project management • 2 - User’s requirements • 3 - Base data • 4 - Metadata • 5 - Standards, interoperability • 6 - Dissemination • 7 - Assessment and evaluation GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  6. wp2-User’s requirements • Needs for: • reference data • metadata and semantics • standards, interoperability • Different ways to assess user’s needs • Survey of FP4 / FP5 projects,dealing with GI • User’s workshops (National, European, International) • Desk study - Case studies GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  7. 290 GI projects identified up to now Contribution to main ETeMII themes FP4/FP5 projects survey GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  8. FP survey – ongoing conclusions • Projects are not synchronised with market • i.e. mobile location base services is hot now (next year it’s maybe too late) • only 2 projects on mobile information services • Good balance between research and development projects • Very few go up to exploitation of information services GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  9. wp3-Base Data - Objectives • Elements for consensus building on the definition of pan-European base data • for European use and for global use (GSDI) • What are base data ? • Need to define minimum specifications • multi-level base data (large, medium, large scale) • pan-European, cross-border • modulation within user’s needs • Public/Private partnership:understand GI economy • focus on most common use • Links between data users and providers GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  10. Base data: National workshops • Status • France: link with Lengagne & Mandelkern mission • Italy: link with “Intesa Stato-Regioni” • Germany-Austria-Switzerland • Position paper from UK and Portugal to be done • Preliminary results • Consensus about base data definition • Need for EC commitment • To lead EGII • To provide funding for the European component • Need for national, regional and local commitment • Procurement • Contribution to the infrastructure • To target widest possible user’s community GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  11. Local Level = 80% Topographic layers Geodetic Network Administrative & Land Registry Other (postal addresses,…) Upper Levels = 20% Topographic layers Administrative Bnd. Thematic layers Other (Post codes,…) Users - Usages - Users Needs GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  12. Base Data : Overview GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  13. Data(sets) Specifications • At large scale : • precision < 1m (urban) - ~2m (rural) • continuously (frequently) updated • At medium scale • derived from large scale datasets • At lower scales • unique (interoperable) Reference System GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  14. Infrastructure Set up Specifications • Who is doing what and where ? • Where and What to improve ? • Where and What to start ? • ------------------------------------------- • Planning • Incentives • Quality Control & Certification GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  15. Structure Setup Specifications European level • One of the possible models National level Supra-local Level Light structures Local level « Service centers » GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  16. Base Data: Position paper • Title? • European common GI base data definition • GI base data for Europe • Includes: • Minimum specifications for base data • Minimum common model & format specifications • Technical solution(s) to access data • β-version for EGII • Input to GSDI cookbook GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  17. wp4-Metadata: a key to data access • Build upon existing work: • ESMI, GDDD, CEO, GEIXS, ETC/CDS, GISEDI, LaClef, etc. • Main aim: • to reach some consensus on the way to meet user’s needs • link with international initiatives (ISO and JTC1,SC 32,..) • Semantic issues • work on thesauri interoperability • to record multi-cultural characteristic of Europe • to deal with multi-lingual issues GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  18. Current findings • Three levels of metadata • Discovery / Exploitation / Data model • First focus on discovery metadata • Lack of awareness in trends for internat. standards • Needs for • more user friendly standards • better advertising on and access to standards • metadata on standards • mapping between existing discovery metadata stds. • Focus on modelling interoperability is important GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice

  19. wp5-Standards & Interoperability • Main aim: • To raise awareness • Target FP4/FP5 projects and GI stakeholders • Focus more on implementation strategies • How to improve standards to make them more user friendly? • International collaboration • Strong link with OGC • Contribution to ISO and GSDI activities • AGILE has equivalent in US, links with international research community GI workshop at the IST conference in Nice
