1 SEIS (Shared Environmental Information System) From concept to information services Stefan Jensen EEA supported by Sheila Cryan and Jon Maidens GSDI 11, Rotterdam

2 What is SEIS is about... Sharing (organisation) Political commitment (legislation) Partnership (win win) Networking (connecting) Environmental Information (content) Horizontal integration (data centres) Vertical integration (local to global) Online access real time For policy makers and public System (infrastructure and services) Existing ICT Infrastructure Inspire, Reportnet, GMES,... New e Services (e Government)

3 10 European data centres

4 Common elements across data centres Common architecture discussion across all 10 on EU level EEA activities across own 5 data centre - Common planning and exchange of prioirities - Shared development of tools (map and dataviewers) - Identification of services and support levels - Implenent INSPIRE elements Common metadata approach (pending) Elements of common architecture

5 INSPIRE implementation lessons learnt From participating in drafting teams -metadata - dataspecifications Annex 1 (hydrography/protected sites) From building system architectures and information services

6 Example 1 Hydrography data vs metadata specifications

7 Structure of the INSPIRE vs WISE metadata profile The INSPIRE metadata elements have been selected to support the primary function of discovery. For 10 categories, there are a total of 27 metadata elements. The WISE metadata profile should support the functions of discovery and usage. the majority of WISE datasets and services will fall under the scope of INSPIRE the WISE profile extends the INSPIRE metadata

8 WISE extends INSPIRE metadata profile Add 12s elements to INSPIRE. 3 of which are mandatory Distribution format : Provides a description of the format of the data to be distributed (ex : cd, ), Metadata standard name : Name of the metadata standard used (including profile name), Metadata standard version : Version (profile) of the metadata standard used.

9 Data specifications extending INSPIRE Inspire metadata core elements required base standard to all profiles Each data specification defines a metadata profile: Protected Sites data specification 6 Mandatory/Conditional; 4 Optional Hydrography data specification 15 Optional Management units data specification TBD

10 WISE Data specification 1 Data specification 2 INSPIRE base standard ISO19115

11 Issues on ensuring interoperability WISE profile 4 Mandatory/Conditional; 8 Optional But WISE covers spatial datasets which are protected areas, hydrography related, mangement units Should the WISE profile encompass all the data specifications to ensure interoperability?

13 WISE INSPIRE INSPIRE extension

14 Approach Analyse the INSPIRE model Collate and analyse relevant WISE documentation Find common objects and identify areas for extension INSPIRE Hydrography Annex 1 of the Directive Reporting Units Annex 3 follow Inspire approach Develop a final product of an INSPIRE compliant WISE logical model in UML Comments to INSPIRE process

15 Example 2 Designated areas getting closer to INSPIRE metadata

16 National reporting on designated areas Annual data collection on nationally designated areas (CDDA) = 38 countries 90K sites Requires countries to also provide digital boundaries + metadata for their designated areas and to deliver the output file to Reportnet Central Data Repository (CDR) Guidelines for 2009 reporting 2009: countries invited to try out INSPIRE metadata editor Five countries provided at least some of their metadata in an xml format. Next step (2010) expand QA/QC to include metadata

18 basic.xsd

19 EEA Data service Nationally designated areas (National - CDDA) EEA aims to include an INSPIRE metadata file with version 8 of the European Data set to be published Q Next step: find some public examples of European data sets which have INSPIRE metadata files.

20 SEIS pilot 2009 European Topic Centre for Biological Diversity is testing the reporting of nationally designated areas Information on designated areas is made available at national/regional level. EEA will access information required for assessments. INSPIRE guidelines will be followed Results of pilot will be shared

21 Example 3 WISE distributed system architecture running ahead of INSPIRE

22 INSPIRE compliant distributed network architecture I Partly built

23 INSPIRE compliant distributed network architecture II To be built

24 Towards effective citizen observatories Evolution of government lead environmental information flow

25 RSS / WMS / KML services we already have

26 New services: Citizen Observatory v1 2008

27 V1 citizens can provide comments and rate Text comments Ratings

28 Version launched

29 Communication matters: available in MSN channels United Kingdom Netherlands Germany Portugal Italy Belgium in the respective national languages

30 Airquality and bathing water monitoring stations in Europe

31 Currently scoped elements of Airwatch Based on Ozonweb Combining Ozone, PM and NO data Modelling across Europe Allowing people to be alerted (by SMS) Allowing people to comment and link to social networks Initial version available late 2009

32 Currently scoped elements of Airwatch

33 Summary next steps Inform and train people on the INSPIRE complexities Applying INSPIRE services (discover/view/download) along thematic areas (by Annex TWG) Providing Citizen Observatory service interfaces Thank you for your attention!
