- 8. Harmonised Specifications forData Profiles of INSPIRE data specifications for master, regional and global level of details Subset not containing some of the feature types, optional attributes or relationships, some of the listed values etc. Some feature types, attributes, and relationships that are optional in INSPIRE are mandatory Extensions based on generalized products EBM, ERM, EGM Conformance criteria At Master data level no selection criteria set yet
- 9. Transformation Rules andServices Created a predefine template for description of data and set of transformation constructs Common approach for schema transformation & generalisation A method for implementing generalisation between larger and small scales -> various approaches to content transformation can be applied successfully, no single transformation method can be recommended If national specifications are far from INSPIRE on-the-fly is not a likely solution

- 18. The European LocationFramework GOALS The concept of reference data –concentrate on the main business of the public sector Work together with other players to create the infrastructure Concentrate on one reference data layer at regional level and derive small scale from it Large scale reference data based on NMCAs distributed services Create tools for NMCAs to provide the data; transformation; edge-matching; quality; generalization, security Build the reference data that others can rely on (UIDs, quality) Align other thematic data like ECRINS with it Make data policy and licensing work Build the community
- 19. The European LocationFramework concept The European Location Framework (ELF) is based on set of specifications for reference data which provides information about places and features on the Earth’s surface to allow other information about that place or feature to be connected to it. These specifications supports interoperability across resolutions, themes and between countries for topographic, administrative and cadastral reference data . When adopted by data providers ELF provides INSPIRE compliant data for Europe. It creates a new approach for Pan-European reference data based on services from National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies possible through National Spatial Data Infrastructures User requirements are very important for ELF. The European key users European Commission, EuroStat, EEA, Frontex are considered as well as directives like PSI, European programmes like GMES and international programmes like GEOSS.
- 20. Reference data Referencedatasets are series of datasets that everyone involved with geographic information uses to reference his/her own data as part of their work. They provide a common link between applications and thereby provide a mechanism for sharing knowledge and information amongst people (FGDC, 2005; Rase et al., 2002) It provides an unambiguous location for a user’s information; It enables the merging (aggregating/fusing) of data from various sources; It provides a geographic framework or context to allow others to better understand the spatial information that is being presented; It is subject to a regular data maintenance regime; It is provided from a authoritative source with a mandate, or responsibility, for it’s maintenance and availability.

- 30. Linking with otherdata The ELF reference data will be linked with other European datasets using identifiers. These include INSPIRE unique identifiers, Official code of LAU unit in administrative units, European statistical region codes (NUTS), hydrographic identifiers, national and European road numbers, railway UIC codes, ICAO and IATA codes for airports, port UN/Locodes, and settlement identifiers. http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/nuts_nomenclature/local_administrative_units http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/nuts_nomenclature/introduction International Union of Railways http://www.uic.org/ International Civil Aviation Organization http://www.icao.int/ The International Air Transport Association www.iata.org United Nations Economic Commission for Europe http://www.unece.org/cefact/recommendations/rec_index.htm
- 31. Quality and metadataThe specifications sets conformance levels for quality and requires suppliers to provide metadata for data discovery and quality evaluation purposes. Quality information and Metadata is INSPIRE and ISO/CEN compliant. Target levels for completeness and positional accuracy will be set for feature types. Data provided by NMCAs will be classified to different quality levels.
- 32. Interoperability processes Referencedata needs number of supporting processes in order to work properly. The ELF will include specifications for transformation (co-ordinate/model) edge-matching (cross-border consistency) quality evaluation and conformance testing quality management (utilizing accreditation) generalization unique identifiers UIDs incremental updating access control data policy/licensing business processes service architecture
- 33. And do youthink this will work for me?
- 34. Benefits to theusers Consistency between themes, so that themes can be used together in various resolutions; Better up-to-dateness and consistency between resolutions. For example feature that is present in master level will be present also in medium/small scales if it should be present according to selection criteria; Quality conformance levels and metadata enables users to ensure that their requirements are met; Maintenance of reference information in user databases. Unique identifiers enable change only updates. Reference data provision for European users including European Commission, Eurostat, GMES, EEA, Frontex;
- 35. Why we shouldcare, we have enough problems nationally?
- 36. Benefits to theproducers Cost savings in the national production and maintenance processes of European data; Common feature type dictionary between resolutions enables use of generalization process in maintenance processes of medium/small scale resolutions which means better up-to-dateness and consistency between resolutions Help implementing the INSPIRE directive Implementation of interoperability processes including edge-matching between countries to achieve cross-border consistency, quality evaluation and conformance testing, generalization and transformation services Increase usage of national data in services, European and global use.

Launch of EuroGeographics WMS under EuroGeoInfo site (demonstrating the EGM,ERM,EBM and EuroGeoNames) Setting up EuroGeographics internal project for ELF Preparing a proposal for ICT/PSP – Looking for an NMCA to take a lead -> Start of the project in 2012 if succesfull another possibility ICT/PSP 2012 -> 2013 and maybe GMES reference data call in 2011/2012? Presentations on ESDIN results and ELF at conferences and internal communication between members (GA, regional meetings) Starting implementation of ESDIN results Generalization EGM from ERM, ERM admin from EBM and EGM admin from EBM ERM based on ELF specs in 2013 EuroGeoNames based on new architecture and lauch in 2012
- 38. Ok show methe money!
- 39. Do we wantto go ahead? No EuroGeographics withdraws from the reference data provision -> use of MS data at pan-European/cross border case will be difficult or nearly impossible Parallel tracks EuroGeographics continues on pan-European/cross-boder INSPIRE with member states -> slow process ELF/INSPIRE Agreement to co-ordinate pan-European/cross border activities for INSPIRE -> Faster process, use of MS data will increase
Editor's Notes
- #5 These are the major goals for EuroGeographics long term reference data provision; all of them are addressed in the ESDIN project. Dietmar Grunreich will be talking in the next presentation on the results and we will see a demonstration of the ESDIN services and tools. There is a separate paper in the GA papers that explain the European Location Framework concept in detail. The first concept is the reference data: We will concentrate on the main business areas of the NMCAs; providing data that enables locating the other data with it; it means mostly INSPIRE Annex I themes, but also some themes from Annex II and III (like buildings). We should not try to create everything our selves; the private sector can provide services and work with mass market One key thing is that we should concentrate to create one reference theme at regional level; we should drop talking about the scales because it has no meaning ; EuroRegionalMap will create the basis for the topographic regional offering and EuroBoundary for the administrative offering; EuroGlobalMap will be created from the EuroRegionalMap Large scales will be provided directly from our members data services. We should create tools that every NMCAs can apply when proving data to the European or cross-border use; these include transformation tools; edge-matching, quality, generalization and security tools. Reference data concept does not work if ít does not have unique identifiers; this is something we have build; NMCAs have to be seen as quality source otherwise we will not be used for data provision We already are working to create connection to the EEA’s ECRINS data set with our ERM data: we will provide the reference and ECRINS will provide thematic information Without working data policy we will not be able to continue: We already are working on this in the ESDIN project and with our Framework License Agreement of which you will hear later more.

- #22 Urban atlas production cost 2,5 euro/km2 = 25 000 000 euro for Europe
- #24 The idea is to build on members reference data process based on the idea of master database (urban, rural and remote areas) and then ExM based on databases at regional level (1:100 000-1:250 000). Regional level database would then be generalized to Global database 1:1000 000. NMCAs would provide reference data services providing administrative boundaries, hydro, transport, other topographic data, addresses, buildings, DEMS, Landcover, Geographical Names and Ortho based on ExM/INSPIRE specifications. EG would make a edge-matched database at regional level and global level covering Europe. These datasets would be connected to user datasets like ECRINS, Urban Atlas, Corine Land Cover, Point of Interests, Statistical (part of current EBM), commercial datasets like Teleatlas/Navtech roaddata. EG/NMCAs would provide common services for European Infrastructure like Edge-matching service (based on multiple representation boundary database), quality evaluation service, co-ordinate transformation service, view and download service, EGN+ address location service + number of registry services. INSPIRE Commission service + GMES Reference data sercvices would use the reference data services based on NMCAS for maintaining and updating their reference data. Commercial service integrators would provide data for mass-market applications.
