Example:
Minerals and (rare) metals resources in Europe
European Geological
Surveys
CHALLENGES FOR EUROPE How to stimulate economic recovery and create jobs and growth? How to secure energy and natural resources needed by citizens and industry? How to secure clean water, sufficient food and a clean and healthy environment? How to protect citizens against natural hazards and the consequences of climate change? How to comply with global agreements and targets and maintain a solid position in a rapidly changing global playing field?
EUROPE 2020 Targets:
• Increasing Employment
• Increasing investment in R&D
• Combatting Climate change and Increasing Energy
Sustainability
• Better Education
• Fighting Poverty and social exclusion
EU CHALLENGES REQUIRE EU ANSWERS
Zooming in on geological knowledge and data to
support policy development and implementation:
Raw Materials Initiative
Thematic strategy on the prevention and recycling of waste
SET Plan (to establish an energy policy for Europe)
Soil thematic strategy
Blue Growth (maritime/marine)
Water Framework Directive
INSPIRE
etc.
How to jointly develop supporting
knowledge on EU topics?
How to achieve interoperability of
data, information and models on
schematic, semantic and
conceptual levels?
How to effectively support the
European Commission with high
level knowledge on a pan-
European level?
How to secure mandates
and durable funding?

Need for funding/
exploitation models
Metadata already available for 783 ‘geology’ datasets (Annex II)
Plus more under the ‘natural risk zones’ theme, energy resources and soil (Annex III)
TOTAL = 1965 datasets
Data for 20 countries
Use cases are key! Combination of: ◦ Concrete (policy) issue/ challenge
◦ Available information/ datasets/ models
◦ (potential) User(-s) of information
◦ Stakeholder communities
User requirements: Characteristics of information and delivery
Functional requirements of information system:
Technical requirements to be derived
Legal, governance, exploitation

EGDI will serve geological information for ◦ clear use cases
◦ (yet) undefined use cases: + developing business?
EGDI will serve geological information for decision support
OR
EGDI will provide an aggregated (IT-)platform for providers, to support continuously development of (derived) geological information for decision support
Clarification of user requirements is a hard working process between providers and user communities, after identifying these…
Project inventory EGDI-Scope ◦ 400-600 million of investments in projects with non-
sustainable results (datasets, portals,…)
◦ Harmonization and standardization issues are bulk of the efforts
◦ Lack of ‘final’ applied datasets/ models for policy support
EGDI is about much more than Infrastructure:
◦ Evolution from raw data to applied information
◦ Continuation: governance, exploitation
From data to applied policy information ◦ Invest in projects, projects, more projects….
◦ MIT/ Robert Seidel: harmonization and standardization are endless processes: no real solution but flexibility and aggregation
EGDI-Scope to dig deep into content?
Concertation meeting e-infrastructures/ lessons learned:
Sustainability/ continuation is not about EU-funding;
Sustainability needs understanding the behavioral economics within your domain
Funding expl. model: EU-program funding
From individual projects
From participating institutions
From individual users/ researchers
Sustainability needs stable parent organizations
Example Max-Planck Inst. (wrt. ‘disappearing languages archive’)
Contract models for 50 years to sustain digital data infrastructure

Potential socio-economic impacts
EGDI can contribute to:
• Competitive position of Europe
• job growth, economic recovery
& innovation
• energy security
• availability earth resources
• knowledge-base European
policy development
• development information-
society (data provision /
availability)
Themes, sectors:
• Earth resources (raw
materials, minerals)
• Energy (oil, (shale) gas,
CCS, geothermal, …)
• Water management &
climate change
• Geohazards & monitoring
• Earth observation
• …
EP Committee on Industry Research and Energy report “on an effective raw materials strategy for Europe” (2011/2056(INI)):
[…] welcomes […] cooperation between national geological surveys; calls for increased collaboration between them and encourages the use of common standards and practices that would facilitate the exchange and exploitation of available geological data; […]; asks the Commission to assess whether the creation of an EU Geological Service that pools the work of national surveys and works with international partners is necessary; supports the Commission’s work in improving the EU’s geological knowledge base”.
EC “Proposal for a European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials” (COM(2012) 82):
[…] the full benefits of an appropriate coordination or even integration of some of the activities of the EU’s different 27 geological surveys has not been achieved. Yet, innovative thinking based on increased networking and cooperation offers a huge potential to move forward. Setting European standards will facilitate the creation of a uniform EU geological knowledge base, and can also lead to a more cost-effective development and use of required modern technologies, such as satellite-based resource information and advanced 4D computer modelling systems.”
Geoscientific data, information and knowledge crucial for EU
To establish an European geoscientific information and knowledge
infrastructure, a permanent structure is necessary to keep data and
knowledge up to date and state of the art
We need stable investments rather than a suite of projects
EGDI Scope is NOT only about technology
EGDI Scope is NOT only about data
EGDI Scope is about building a sustainable geological information
backbone which is vital for Europe
