Introduction
DG AGRI DG INFSO
  • Mission to provide customer-driven scientific
    and technical support for the conception,
    development, implementation and monitoring of
    European Union policies.
  • The JRC functions as a reference centre of
    science and technology for the Union.
  • Close to the policy-making process, it serves the
    common interest of the Member States, while being
    independent of special interests, whether private
    or national.
  • 7 institutes in 5 countries, 2000 people

What is INSPIRE ?
  • INSPIRE INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation
    in Europe,
  • is an initiative launched by the European
    Commission and developed in collaboration with
    Member States and accession countries
  • it aims at making available relevant, harmonized
    and quality geographic information to support
    formulation, implementation, monitoring and
    evaluation of Community policies with a
    territorial dimension or impact
  • intends to trigger the creation of a European
    spatial data infrastructure (ESDI) that delivers
    to the users integrated spatial information
    services linked by common standards and
    protocols.
  • The INSPIRE Geo-Portal is Europe's Internet
    access point for Spatial Data and Services. From
    here, you can search for spatial data, services,
    and organizations.

INSPIRE Principles
  • Data should be collected once and maintained at
    the level where this can be done most effectively
  • It should be possible to combine seamless spatial
    information from different sources across Europe
    and share it between many users and application
  • It should be possible for information collected
    at one level to be shared between all the
    different levels, detailed for detailed
    investigations, general for strategic purposes
  • Geographic information needed for good governance
    at all levels should be abundant under conditions
    that do not refrain its extensive use
  • It should be easy to discover which geographic
    information is available, fits the needs for a
    particular use and under which conditions it can
    be acquired and used
  • Geographic data should become easy to understand
    and interpret because it can be visualized within
    the appropriate context selected in a
    user-friendly way

Memorandum of understanding betweenCommissioners
Wallstróm, Solbes, Busquin11 April 2002
The European Sustainable Development Strategy
advocates a new approach to policy-making through
more coherence in the Community policies. An
information base that provides detailed relevant
harmonized spatial information for different
policy areas and that is commonly accessible
could significantly contribute to this
objective. Currently, exploitation of the
potential of GI is hampered by lack of standards,
of data and of a coherent data policy. A
Community initiative to address these
difficulties could unlock a vast potential of
information and information services...
Standardization of GI services would furthermore
open up new ways of communication, narrowing the
gap between Europe and its citizens.

INSPIRE Process ( long one -) but needed
!Bottom-up Stakeholder Involvement
  • Building consensus in expert groups
  • Orientation and Position papers of experts
  • Establishing the state-of-play
  • Preparing the proposal -gt A Framework Directive
  • Scoping policy measures with expert advice
  • Assessing the political and socio-economic impact
  • A public review of the proposed measures
  • Adoption of the Framework Directive by the
    Commission
  • The proposal on the political agenda of the EU
    Presidency
  • Co-Decision Procedure by Council and Parliament
  • Implementing Rules Development
  • Adoption of the Framework Directive
  • Transposing the Framework Directive
  • Implementing the Framework Directive

11
INSPIRE Directive Proposal approved by the EC in
July 2004
12
Components of the infrastructure
  • The infrastructure includes
  • metadata,
  • spatial data sets and services,
  • network services
  • agreements on sharing,
  • access and use,
  • coordination and monitoring mechanisms,
  • processes and procedures

13
Why INSPIRE and GLOBE?
  • INSPIRE lays down general rules for the
    establishment of an infrastructure for SI in
    Europe to support
  • (i) environmental policies and
  • (ii) policies that affect the environment.
  • INSPIRE based on infrastructures for SI
    established and elaborated by the EU Member
    States.
  • Therefore INSPIRE implementation depends on the
    awareness of and support by governments on
    national, regional and local levels.
  • The GLOBE schools
  • educate young people, who become professionals in
    5-10 years
  • have potential for raising awareness on municipal
    and regional levels.

Scope of data harmonisation (1) and (2)
  • Annex I
  • Coordinate reference systems
  • Geographical grid systems
  • Geographical names
  • Administrative units
  • Transport networks
  • Hydrography
  • Protected sites
  • Annex II
  • Identifiers of Properties
  • Elevation (including terrestrial elevation,
    bathymetry and coastline)
  • Land cover
  • Cadastral parcels
  • Ortho-imagery

16
Scope of data harmonisation (3)
  • Annex III
  • Statistical units
  • Buildings
  • Soil
  • Geology
  • Land use
  • Human health and safety
  • Government service and environmental monitoring
    facilities
  • Production and industrial facilities
  • Agricultural and aquaculture facilities
  • Population distribution - demography

17
Key actors in the INSPIREdevelopment process
SPATIAL DATA INTEREST COMMUNITIES
18
Joint interests of INSPIRE and GLOBE
  • (i) recognition and understanding of local
    environment and data in a regional or global
    context
  • (ii) systematic and easy use of spatial data for
    environmental protection,
  • (iii) differentiating scales relevant to specific
    environmental phenomena, data collection and
    decision making,
  • (iv) data, information and knowledge transfer
    cross administrative borders or professional
    barriers 
  • (v) capacity building in a long-term perspective

19
Where INSPIRE/ESDI and GLOBE may influence or
support each other?
  • guided involvement of GLOBE students into a
    simplified data quality testing or up-dating
  • education with the INSPIRE implementation
    perspective of 5-8 years
  • empowering researchers to formulate and promote
    the complex INSPIRE goals and process in a clear
    and simple way
  • use of IMAGE 2000, Land Cover Maps combined with
    local data for educational purposes.

Policies via INSPIRE will inform the planners,
managers, owners and authorities on all levels in
an efficient way

Nature 2000 and INSPIRE in practice
3) Information available through INSPIRE can be
compared with independent information sources as
remote sensing data and used for
  • a) Monitoring trends
  • and EC Policy impacts
  • b) Controlling land-use and management
  • c) Detection of damages

GLOBEs contribution ?!?
  • sustainability GLOBE is politically neutral
  • capacity building
  • GLOBE schools
  • educate young people, who become professionals in
    5-10 years
  • have potential for raising awareness on municipal
    and regional levels.
  • examples of recognition
  • GLOBE CZ as a part of the National GI
    Infrastructure adopted by the Gvnt Council for
    Information Society in 2001
  • Paul Filmer ...Globe as a key component of GEO
    Capacity Building...

39
Conclusions
  • INSPIRE is a long-term process covering
    political, organizational and technical aspects
  • INSPIRE aims to harmonize and make accessible
    quality geo-referenced information cross Europe
    to
  • support implementation of environmental policies,
    incl.
  • understanding of the complexity and interactions
    between human activities and environmental
    pressures and impacts.
  • The INSPIRE initiative is a major challenge
  • given the general situation outlined above and
  • the many stakeholder interests to be addressed
  • INSPIRE and GLOBE cross-reference and could
    support each other

Commissioner Dimas The 3rd Earth
Observation Summit16 February 2005
Natural and human-induced disasters, environment
and health, climate change, sustainable
management of water, energy, ecosystems, land,
agriculture and biodiversity are currently at the
top of the environment and sustainable
development agendas. The scale of these problems
is simultaneously global, regional and local
The basic point is that good policy needs good
knowledge The EU has already demonstrated its
firm commitment by establishing policies and
systems through the INSPIRE directive which will
allow us to share information more efficiently
