Objectives of this presentation
Walk through some elements of EU legislation and policy actions to see
• CAP and Environmental policies of the EU share common aspects
• IACS can benefit from SDIs and INSPIRE
• The potential and framework for further convergence

Integrated Administration and Control System

?• How is it now?
Spaitial enough?
•Intrinsic spatial component with defined information content (LPIS)•Data from aid applications•MS may include information system for olive calculation•Does not sufficiently support some spatial aspects (montainous terrain, slopes)
Environmental
enough?
•MS shall establish a system guaranteeing an effective control of cross complience•Details not regulated, limited information content (landscape features)
?• How to develop further?
Collect new or choise existing?
10
Collect new
Get exactly what is needed
- According to own specifications- no trouble with deployment of data
Might be expensive:
- technology demanding- (other) data/service dependent- time consuming
Updates might be complicated
no expertise in following the life cycle and the related legal/buisness proceses
Might be not compliant with regulation (best practices)
Ban for collecting data what is available in public administration
Reuse existing
Current data from competent authorities
Might be challangig
- to find what is neded- to face information fragmentation- understand usability of data
Getting data might be complicated
- restrictions in access and use- royalties- liabilities
Data does not fit together
- semantic inconsistency- inconsistent spatial representation- incompatible encodings (formats)
6
Spatial Data Infrastructures
11
What? Why? Which?
SDIs encapsulate policies, institutional and legal arrangements, technologies, and data that enable sharing and effective usage of geographic information
Expected output: interoperability•better accessibility•harmonisation of semantics and spatial representations•consistent data regardless of source
Can be subdivided based on geographic and /or thematic scope•Global, national, regional , local•Environment, transport, etc.
12
7
INSPIRE• Directive 2007/2/EC (INSPIRE) Directive lays
down general rules to establish an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe for the purposes of Community environmental policies and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment
• INSPIRE is built on the SDIs established and operated by the Member States
• Even though there is no obligation for new data collection, it is a strong trigger for the MS to develop national SDIS and share data in interoperable way and according pre-defined conditions
13
Structure and organisation• Directive 2007/2/EC (INSPIRE): legal framework and general provisions
• Commission Regulations (Implementing Rules, IR): mandatory technical requirements1. Metadata 2. Interoperability of spatial data sets and services3. Services (discovery, view, download, transformation, invoke)4. Data and Service sharing (policy)5. Monitoring & reporting
• Guidelines for voluntary implementation (for each component)
• Operational elements1. Registers/registries2. Geoportal
• Organisational measures1. INSPIRE Committe2. Expert groups (drafting teams, thematic working groups, maintenace and
implementation group)14

Rules for data sharing
• IR on Data and Service Sharing:conditions of access to spatial data sets and services from Member States by the institutions and bodies of the Community
• Non binding guidelines and documents: model contracts, framework agreements and examples of good practice related to sharing within and between Member States
http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/62
10
19
Easier data access• Standardized view, download and transformation (IR on Network
Services)
20
Easier data use
• Facilitate data use and interoperability by adopting common cross-domain models to exchange data (IR on Data Interoperability)
11
Collaboration
• What has already been done?
• Shared technical solutions (standard and model driven approach, notation, data encoding, conformance testing,)
• Collaboration in overlapping themes (specification development in cadastral parcels, orthoimagery, land cover, land use, agricultural facilities)
• Potential for future
• Extending INSPIRE core models according to the requirements of IACS • Combining data from IACS and INSPIRE in GIS analysis• Make use of operational components for
• Registers for promoting interoperability (Feature concept dictionary, glossary, code lists)
• Sharing/publishing information (code lists, geoportal)• Reuse the element of the INSPIRE Generic Conceptual Framework for
documening LPIS core model 21

Framework for synergies: e-Government
Is it relevant?
• Practice of the Member States
• electronic systems for submitting aid applications and/or locating parcels
• geoportals for sharing information connected to location
• ideally these initiatives are part of national eGovernmant strategies
• European Interoperability
Framework (EIF) is a set of recommendations which specify how Administrations, Businesses and Citizens communicate with each other within the EU and across Member States borders
26
14
The ISA programme• Interoperability Solutions for European
Public Administrations
• Contributes to the e-Government Action Plan 2011-2015 and the Digital Agenda for Europe of Europe 2020 by supporting multi-sector interoperable cross-border e-services and resources to help share and reuse them
• Creates a framework that allows efficient and effective electronic cross-border public services for the benefit of citizens and business (interoperable electronic public services).
• Two relevant initiatives:• Action 1.17 – ARe3NA
• Action 2.13 – EULF27
ISA Action 1.17
28
Interoperability
Openness Reuse Collaboration
… sharing reusable components for INSPIRE implementation and interoperability in cross-border/cross-sector contexts.
15
Focus of ARe3NA
29
Input for components not sufficiently addressed so far:
• Registers/registiries• Data sharing - GeoRM
European Union Location Framework
• Action 2.13 is a strategic framework of standards, case studies, guidelines and actions to • realise the potential of location information in Europe,• improve the way how location information is used in MS e-
Government services, • achieve a more aligned approach in policy areas,• establish interoperability and re-use of data, and services, based on
INSPIRE. • Focus areas:
• Policy and strategy alignement• E-Government integration (through best practices)• Standardisation and interoperability (ICT and GI)
• Envisaged pilots• Policies on transport, marine, agriculture• Results may influence INSPIRE maintenace
30
16
Policy and Strategy Alignment:
Consistent EU and Member States policy and legislative approach
Cost Benefit Focus:
Building compelling impact assessments and business cases
e-Government Integration:
Location becomes a key enabler in e-Government systems
Standardization and Interoperability:
Guidance on standards and technologies for interoperability and re-use
Committed Partnerships:
Fostering a highly collaborative community to share and adopt best practices
EULF Strategic Vision V0
• Sets the strategic direction of what the EULF will achieve in the next few years.
• Identifies the relevant stakeholders within ISA, INSPIRE, other EU institutions, Member States, Interest Groups and Communities, and associated projects.

Deliverables
Transport and Marine(tbc) Pilots
Summary1.Spatial infromation is increacingly used
2.There is a natural demand for re-using
spatial information which has triggered the
establishemnts of SDIs
3.Sectorial SDIs are converging and being
integrated with mainstream interoperability
solutions for eGovernment
4.IACS is itegral part of Memeber States’
eGovernment services
5.Environement has been the pioneering
European policy area for SDI development
6.IACS can benefit for existing (environement
focused) SDIs and may benefit even more …
…when the relevant European initiatives in the pipeline are developing in the „right” direction
