Following the previous meeting …

• The INSPIRE directive

• Citizen Science within the INSPIRE

directive framework

• Things to discuss

The INSPIRE Directive

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 policy-

making across boundaries. Therefore the spatial information

considered under the directive is extensive and includes a

great variety of topical and technical themes.

http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/

Common Principles in INSPIRE

• Data should be collected only once and kept where it can

be maintained most effectively.

• It should be possible to combine seamless spatial

information from different sources across Europe and

share it with many users and applications.

• It should be possible for information collected at one

level/scale to be shared with all levels/scales; detailed for

thorough investigations, general for strategic purposes.

• Geographic information needed for good governance at all

levels should be readily and transparently available.

• Easy to find what geographic information is available, how

it can be used to meet a particular need, and under which

conditions it can be acquired and used.

BOTTOM-UP

APPROACH

INSPIRE Implementing Rules for Metadata and ISO

ISO 19115 designates these normative references:

• EN ISO 19115:2005, Geographic information - Metadata

• ISO 19115/Cor.1:2006, Geographic information – Metadata, Technical Corrigendum

ISO 19119 designates these two normative references:

• ISO 19119:2005, Geographic information - Services

• ISO 19119:2005/FDAmd 1, Extensions of the service metadata model

ISO 19108:2005, Geographic information – Temporal Schema

ISO 639-2, Codes for the representation of names of languages - Part 2: Alpha-3 code

ISO 8601, Data elements and interchange formats - Information interchange – Representation

of dates and times

ISO/TS 19139:2007, Geographic information - Metadata – XML Schema Implementation

CSW2 AP ISO, OpenGIS Catalogue Services Specification 2.0.2 - ISO Metadata Application

Profile, Version 1.0.0, OGC 07-045, 2007

ISO 10646-1, Information technology ― Universal Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set (UCS)-

Things to discus …

Assuming that, in the case of In situ-CS the approach is

bottom-up (need to be discussed?). Two major questions arise:

• Which could be the model of reference ?

• Interoperability at global scale (USA, Australia …)

• Interoperability with other domains (RS, In situ-P, …)

• How can make this model (and the derived products and

services) accessible to Citizen Science (local) initiatives

?
