What is INSPIRE?
• The INSPIRE directive came into force on 15 May 2007 and will
be implemented in various stages, with full implementation
required by 2019.
• The INSPIRE directive aims to create a European Union (EU)
spatial data infrastructure. This will enable the sharing of
environmental spatial information among public sector
organisations and better facilitate public access to spatial
information across Europe.
• A European Spatial Data Infrastructure will assist in policymaking across boundaries. Therefore the spatial information
considered under the directive is extensive and includes a great
variety of topical and technical themes.
What has been achieved so far

Tools for testing the infrastructure
Proposals and tools to manage maintenance and updates
A solution to technical architecture.
Proposed concept for The European Location Framework
• Set of specifications for reference data and
interoperability services
•Interoperability across resolutions,
themes and between countries for
topographic, administrative and cadastral
/
reference data.
•Reference data services implemented by the
Member States (NMCAs)
•Interoperability services by actors
•Co-ordination by European organizations
(e.g. EuroGeographics)
•Funded by Member States, Commission and
users
•Community of users and other data
providers, developers, service intergrators
GEOSS
European Location Framework
The European Location Framework GOALS from the
EuroGeographics point of view
• 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; edgematching; 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
Reference data
• Reference datasets are a 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 an authoritative source with a mandate, or responsibility,
for it’s maintenance and availability.
Reference data and services are part of the solution!

E.L.F INSPIRE demonstrator
• Developed by
ESDIN
• Connecting the
national services
to a European
Service
EuroXBoundary Service
• Based on agreed
boundaries at
treaty, national
master data level
and European
regional level
(EuroBoundaryMa
p)
• State Boundaries
of Europe project
is building the data
needed at treaty
and national
masterdata level
including maritime
boundaries
EuroGeoCloud
• To link existing national
services (WMS, WFS) to
create European
coverage at large scales
• Cost effective and easy to
build
• Strong interest in
developer community
• Use cases include
industrial risk
management, Public Map
shop, Emergency Map
response, Insurance risk
assessement
First step: Emergency Response Agreement
• Need to access available reference data from member states for
the GMES Emergency Reponse Service
• Agreement signed with EEA (and potentially with the
Commission)
• EuroGeographics acts as a first point of contact
• A network of contacts to be agreed with members for data
provision
• Target to be able to provide geospatial reference data so that
GMES emergency response maps may be provided withing 6-24
hours from activation
• GMES emergency service covers 39 EEA countries
Meeting the GMES requirements

[1] Topographic maps may contain the following thematic layers: administrative boundaries, hydrography, transport, settlements, vegetation, named
locations, monuments, power lines, towers etc. If a pan-European coverage is required at the scale of 1:25.000 to 1:50.000 it is necessary to access the data
from a large number of individual regional and national data providers; whereas at scale of 1:100.000 or 1:250.000 a pan-European coverage may be
achieved by means of a single coherent dataset though initially often compiled from national maps.
[2] Low to medium horizontal resolution corresponds to approximately 30-60 m. – (to be used primarily for rectification of high resolution satellite data)
[3] Medium to high horizontal resolution corresponds approximately to 15-30 m. (to be used primarily for rectification of very high satellite data)
[4] Critical infrastructure element includes inter alia: schools, hospitals, police and fire stations, airports, etc.
So what is next?
Progress plans
• JRC has intiated EU location framework under ISA programme
• EuroGeographics is running the European Location Framework
task force – open to all interested parties
• Implementation steps through EU funded projects
• European Location Strategy paper 2012
• European datasets and services (continuation of existing
datasets) EuroGlobalMap, EuroRegionalMap,
EuroBoundaryMap, EuroGeoNames, State boundaries of
Europe
• EuroGeoInfo for information, EuroGeoForum for discussion
Together we are stronger
Working together
we can achieve
much more than
working apart
Thank you!
