INSPIRE Directive– Geographical location of buildings

TWG BU • A wide definition including buildings and constructions

– Considered as under scope of the theme Buildings are constructions above and/or underground which are intended or used for the shelter of humans, animals, things, the production of economic goods or the delivery of services and that refer to any structure permanently constructed or erected on its site.

• Articulation with themes AF, PF and US– Theme BU focus on physical view point– Themes AF, PF, US focus on the activity/service view point

• Cadastral data – building units– link to addresses and to cadastral parcels– official area– official value

• Benefits: give flexibility at MS level to adapt INSPIRE profile to national context and regulation

• Risk: no effort (no fund) is spent to make cadastral data conformant to a non-normative profile

Theme <Buildings>Theme <Buildings>Open issues – Classification of buildingsOpen issues – Classification of buildings

• Current status classification according to:– the activity hosted by the building (for management use cases)

– the physical aspect (for mapping purposes)

Based on Eurostat

classification

More information to be found in themes AF, PF and US

Mainly based on international use cases (air traffic, marine

navigation)

Both code lists are extensible by MS

Theme <Buildings>Theme <Buildings>Open issues – Classification of buildingsOpen issues – Classification of buildings

• Open issues– Technical :

• some inconsistencies with US• possible improvements

– Political: • Data producers have more detailed classification of Buildings (schools, hospitals, …)• This information should/might be provided under theme US (or AF or PF)• But data producers would prefer to supply it under theme BU

Review also data specifications of facilities themes (mainly Governmental Services) Should TWG BU propose more detailed classification of buildings? Give your point of view on

this issue Provide available information about responsibilities at MS level (if already defined)
