5 Bio-geographical regions (BR) Short overview description Definition Areas of relatively homogeneous ecological conditions with common characteristics. [Directive2007/2/EC] Core content: Natura 2000 Bio-geographical regions (9 regions) Marine regions (5 regions) Support for other Ecoregions Core legislation / convention: Habitats Directive (EEC/92/43) / Natura 2000 network Bern Convention / Emerald network Classifications: Natura 2000 and Emerald Bio-geographical regions Environmental Stratification of Europe Natural Vegetation Classification Value 5 5

6 Bio-geographical regions (BR) Main achievements One, simple BR application schema: Because of limited number of Bio-geographical region datasets No complex requirements In order to strive for maximum harmonisation of datasets BR application schema not only supports the classification of biogeographical regions as mandated by the European Habitats Directive, but also meets the requirements raised by INSPIRE stakeholders with regard to alternative and more precise sets of different types of ecological regions Currently the BR application schema includes three distinct European classification schemes, however through the mechanism of codelists the model can be extended to define and include other classifications as well. 6 6

10 Open issues Bio-geographical regions (BR) 1. Theme specific issues: a) Ecoregions with respect to the Water Framework b) Is regionclassificationlevel required in the application schema or could it be represented in MD? 2. Generic issues: a) Relationship to other themes (for example with Annex I Protected Sites) b) Codelists: They need to be hierarchical, shall they be external or specific to INSPIRE? c) Data quality + Dataset level metadata d) Portrayal 10 10

11 Habitats and Biotopes (HB) Short overview description Definition Geographical areas characterised by specific ecological conditions, processes, structure, and (life support) functions that physically support the organisms that live there. Includes terrestrial and aquatic areas distinguished by geographical, abiotic and biotic features, whether entirely natural or seminatural. [Directive2007/2/EC] Content Covered area Classification Object level metadata: Method for collecting data (source information) 11 11

12 Habitats and Biotopes (HB) Short overview description Habitats and Biotopes are spatially delimited by specific ecological conditions, processes, structure and life support functions that physically support the organisms that live there. Spatial representation : Mapping as Features precise delineation Distribution as Coverages (Discrete) - tessellation of space (grid) Classifications: Mandatory: Habitats Directive habitat types (recommended) or EUNIS habitat classification Voidable: Local/national coding list Including a possible mapping qualifier 12 12

13 Habitats and Biotopes (HB) Main achievements Harmonisation was achieved by using one classification system, which serves as primus inter pares to which all other classification systems can be mapped. Support of one or many local habitat type classifications and their mappings For the purpose of harmonization widely accepted code lists for habitat types and species names are mandatory and not voidable

20 Habitats and Biotopes (HB) Open issues 1. Theme specific issues: a) Introducing a feature collection (spatial data) set for predefined data sets for the habitat mapping representation b) Need for more habitattypes for the coverage. c) Is there a need for more grid types (e.g. irregular ones)? d) Data quality + Dataset level metadata e) Portrayal 2. Generic issues: a) Encoding of coverages. Multiple encodings (additional implementation model). b) Discussion on Data quality + Dataset level metadata c) Codelists: Are all extendible by MS, do they need to be hierarchical, shall they be external or specific to INSPIRE? d) Relationships with other themes e) Portrayal of coverages 20 20

21 Species distribution (SD) Short overview description Definition Geographical distribution of occurrence of animal and plant species aggregated by grid, region, administrative unit or other analytical unit [Directive 2007/2/EC]. Core content Coverage description Reference species name+classification Distribution information description Residency status Population size within the spatial unit Data sensitivity Source information description Methodologies Source Aggregation 21 21

22 Species distribution (SD) Short overview description Aggregations of raw species observations to create general distributions. A possibility to refer to observations made possible by linking to Environmental Monitoring Facilities. DS terminology: Species = taxon Spatial representation : Current situation: feature collections Appropriate conceptual approach: Coverages Aggregation or Distribution is modelled as (Discrete) coverages (but can be encoded as feature collections) Classifications (reference ones): EU-NOMEN (Recommended) EUNIS NATURA

23 Species distribution (SD) Main achievements Certain generic constructs allowing for different source methods and counting methods Species names and classifications (support of one or many local names and their mappings to a reference one) Support of wide range of spatial distribution types (points, grid cells, multi-surface, curves) 23 23
