  2. Key GI & GIS Efforts in the EC • GI2000 • European Geographic Information Infrastructure (EGII) • DG III / DG XIII Initiatives 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  3. GI2000 • Born out of activities in DG XIII/E since 1995 • Initiative to establish policy framework for stable, European-wide set of agreed: • standards • procedures • guidelines • incentives for creating, updating, changing, accessing and using geographic information 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  4. EGII - European Geographic Information Infrastructure • Proposed cross-programme action line in 5FP • Main objective is to improve access to GI by supporting creation of a distributed EGII from viewpoints of: • organization • technology development 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  5. EGII (cont.) • Justification for supporting EGII • Lack of pan-European data and data infrastructure • Lack of GI infrastructure impedes single market for GI and allied products/services 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  6. DGIII/DGXIII GI & GIS Initiatives • Esprit and INFO2000 projects • DGIII JRC GIS Support (4FP) • JRC GI & GIS Project (5FP) • GIPSIE (Esprit) • EC and OGC joint project 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  7. JRC GIS Support (4FP) • General Workshops • European Commission GIS Workshops • Project documentation • GIS Project Handbook • GIS Web Site • GIS Project Database and report 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  8. GI & GIS Project Database • Summary and statistics relating to Commission sponsored GI & GIS projects in 4FP • 204 GI/GIS related projects sponsored 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  9. GI & GIS Project Database (cont.)Total Funding • Total funding 104,677,631 Euros 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  10. GI & GIS Project Database (cont.)Project Type 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  12. JRC GIS Support (cont.) • Targeted Workshops and Reports • 1996 - Strategic View of GIS RTD for Europe, 1st Ed. • 1998 - Strategic View of GIS RTD for Europe, 2nd Ed. • 1999 - Virtual Interoperability Laboratory Workshop 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  13. GI & GIS Project (5FP) - JRC/SAI • Technical Support to DG XIII • Technology Watch • Assist in creation of EGII • Set up harmonised and coherent multi-disciplinary databases for EU 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  14. Strategic View Recommendations • Stronger participation by European organisations in developing and implementing standards • Greater user participation in RTD process • Support projects in priority RTD areas 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  15. Strategic View Recommendations (cont.) • Create EC Lab for demonstration and evaluation • Use lab to develop and assist practical actions • Develop and distribute training and support materials 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  16. Strategic View Recommendations (cont.) 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  17. Virtual Interoperability Laboratory • Metadata • Geodata Modelling • Technologies for Interoperability • User Communities 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  18. VIL - Metadata • European Data Clearing House required • Multilingual thesaurus • Sample problems and solutions • Intelligent user agent • Commercially sustainable over the medium term 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  19. VIL - Geodata Modelling • Small research group to study, test and develop algorithms and models • Build library of appropriate applications of algorithms/models 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  20. VIL - Technologies for Interoperability • Identify European technology items for contribution to OGC activities • Must be complementary to, and not in competition with OGC activities • Managed and run by a European commercial integrator company 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  21. VIL - Technologies for Interoperability (cont.) • Equal participation by non-EU members • Fee for compliance testing • Offer facilities and consulting services on a fee-for-service basis 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  22. VIL - Information Communities • Establish small group to investigate and propose data pricing mechanisms • promote participation at all levels of industry 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  23. VIL - Common Recommendations • Sound business case must be established • Major effort required to identify, contact and build links with end users • VINE - Virtual Interoperability Network for Europe • Timetable of events as soon as possible 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  24. VINE structure 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  25. GIPSIE - GIS Interoperability Project Stimulating the Industry in Europe • Unite European industry and establish good communication with OGC • Identify and resolve European issues and introduce them to worldwide OGC specification process • Inform European IT industry, in particular SMEs, about OpenGIS® movement 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy

  26. How do these initiatives fit together? 5th EC-GIS Workshop - Stresa, Italy
