INSPIRE SERVICES

• Upload services
• allow to make available spatial data
• available to the public authorities
• available to interested third parties, provided
  that certain conditions are met
• Network services
• discovery services (free of charge)
• view services (free of charge)
• download services
• transformation services
• services to invoke spatial data services

8
INSPIRE TIMETABLE

• 2005-2006 preparatory phase
• in parallel with the legislative co-decision
  process in the European Parliament and Council
• 2007-2008 transpose INSPIRE into national
  legislation
• 2009-2013 implementing and monitoring

9
INSPRE

• cross-references with initiatives such as GMES,
  Galileo and GEO
• intensive stakeholder participation
• the concept of Spatial Data Interest Communities
  (SDICs)
• A call for expression of interest to identify
  SDICs has been launched

10
Implementing Rules

• Drafting Teams will be created and reference
  material collected
• Drafting Teams will establish the draft
  Implementing Rules
• the review phase (SDICs)
• a public consultation

11
Implementing rules, goals

• content and structure of the metadata for spatial
  data
• harmonised data specifications and exchange
• technical specifications upload, discovery, view,
  download and transformation services
• access and rights of use to spatial data sets and
  services
• monitoring and reporting
• organisational structures and co-ordination

12
Key players

• SDICs
• Drafting Teams
• Consolidation Team (harmonisation between
  Drafting Teams)
• Legally Mandated Organisations (LMO)

13
Preparatory phase support

• Community funding from the operational
• A number of projects through the RTD FP
• Aactivities of the EEA

14
Roles of the Spatial Data Interest Communities

• identify and describe user requirements
• provide expertise to INSPIRE Drafting Teams
• participate in the review process of the draft
  Implementing Rules
• develop, operate and evaluate implementation
  pilot
• develop initiatives for guidance, awareness
  raising and training GMES ESA GSE
• in Finland the working groups of National
  Council of NSDI

15
GMES (EU and ESA)

• Global Monitoring for Environment and Security
• long term plan ready
• coordination GMES Advisory Board
• plan ESA 1M (GMES satellites)
• plan EU 2M (research, satellite operation)
• link to INSPIRE

16
GMES, EU areas and projects

  European SDI (EOLES, EUFOREO)

17
GMES, EU in addition

• cross-cutting assessments studies
• assembling, developing and synthesising the
  documentation and expertise coming from different
  sources
• are also building upon and further develop the
  INSPIRE position papers

18
GMES, ESA

• GSE will deliver policy-relevant services to
  end-users, primarily (but not exclusively) from
  EO sources
• GMES satellites (Sentinels 1 5)
• operational satellites for GMES

19
ESA GSEs consolidation phase
