INSPIRE maintenance & implementation framework

• Moving into the implementation phase• Important to preserve the investment

and the wealth of knowledge• Main principles

Maintain participatory approach Based on implementation experience Cross-cutting coherence

Commission Expert Group on INSPIRE Implementation andMaintenance (MIG)

Continuity of expertise “pool of experts”

The INSPIRE MIF* – Organisation

• Main pillar: Permanent Commission Expert Group on INSPIRE Maintenance & Implementation (MIG) 1/2 member (plus back-up) proposed by MS based on successful model of IOC Task Force Main focus: cross-cutting issues, e.g. architecture,

registers

• In addition: Ad-hoc sub-groups for specific tasks Members from a “pool of experts” (proposed by SDICs

and LMOs) Tasks: Specific (time-limited) maintenance and

implementation tasks

• There could also be a role in the MIF for European (or global) umbrella organisations

MIG Tasks

• Exchange of experience and good practicerelated to the implementation of theINSPIRE Directive and IRs

• Identify and give advice about the priority issues to be addressed in the maintenance of the INSPIRE Directive, IRs and/or TG documents

• Identify issues related to INSPIRE implementation and advise the Commission on how to address them

• Prepare and regularly update the rolling work programme to be agreed by the INSPIRE Committee and the Commission

Pool of experts

• Call for participation & registration at http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/mif/

• Tasks Ad-hoc input to discussions related to INSPIRE

implementation – Help answering questions related to implementation– Share implementation experiences– Promote INSPIRE-related activities

Participate in sub-groups set up bythe MIG to address specific maintenance or implementation tasks– based on M&I work programme– sub-groups to be disbanded once tasks

is completed– ToR to be defined by the MIG

M&I Work Programme – Process

• [continuous] MIG representatives propose actions (collected from national stakeholders)

• [regularly, e.g. once every month] MIG representatives review newly submitted actions, propose a prioritization for them and identify urgent and minor issues (e.g. bug fixes) to addressed directly.

• [once every 6 months] Based on the identified issues, the MIG drafts an updated WP The MIG representatives consult national stakeholders on the

draft WP (for at least one month) In a MIG meeting, a final draft WP is prepared based on the

feedback received from MS. The final draft WP is submitted to the INSPIRE Committee for

discussion and adoption

MIWP-14: thematic clusters

• MIG sub-group consisting of one facilitator per thematic cluster and chaired by the EC & EEA INSPIRE team

• Proposed initial thematic clusters: GE, SO, NZ, MR, ER LU, LC EL, OI, GG, RS EF, O&M AF, PF, US GN, AU, CP, AD, BU, TN, (HY?) OF, SR, AC+MF, HY? PS, AM, HB, SD, BR SU, PD, HH

• Initial clusters may be re-organised or complemented with cross-thematic working groups based on policies or application areas

Tasks of thematic clusters

• Facilitate exchange of implementation progress, themes temporal/spatial resolutions; parameters terminology (open and empty code lists) software and TG options (e.g. download service) used

Work towards harmonised implementation• Utilize the expertise to

answer specific implementation questions address new user requirements

• Sharing of relevant projects, initiatives
