  2. CONTENTS • Aim Eurospec • Background of Eurospec • Eurospec vision, • Objectives, • Action plan. EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  3. EUROSPEC (1) • AIM:To achieve interoperability of European mapping (and other GI data) within 10 years • Interoperability:- Technology- Pricing and licensing- Meta data- Partnerships- Eurospec’s EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  4. EUROSPEC (2) • Initiated by:- EuroGeographics (formely CERCO) and- EuroSDR (formerly OEEPE) • Inspired by the INSPIRE initiative. • 3 meetings in 2003 (March, June, November) EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  5. EUROGEOGRAPHICS (1) The Mission: To represent Europe’s National Mapping Agencies (NMA’s) working for the European Geographic Information Infrastructure.

  6. EUROGEOGRAPHICS (2) • Network of European NMA’s • 36 members (2 missing) • Objectives:- development of GI in Europe- influence decision making in Europe- facilitate cooperation between members • www.eurogeographics.org EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  7. Working Groups- Legal- Geodesy- Databases- Quality- R&D Forum Projects- SABE- EuroGlobal Map- EuroRegional Map - La Clef / GDDD- Road Databases- Eurospec EUROGEOGRAPHICS (3) EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  8. EUROSDR (1) • EuroSDR = European Spatial Data Research • 18 member nations • Research organisations, NMA’s • Mission:Develop methods, systems and standards for the acquisition, processing, production, maintenance and dissemination of geo spatial information. EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  9. EUROSDR (2) • Goal within Eurospec:Solve R&D issues.- new airborne mapping techniques • www.eurosdr.org EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  10. EuroGeographics Vision • To achieve interoperability of European Mapping (and other GI) data within 10 years • The goal is not to create one single centralised database, but is to implement specifications and services built upon a decentralised strategy within which a user can identify, transform, integrate and access the information they require when they want to. EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  11. EuroSpec Vision DB C end-user EuroReferenceData&Metadata Transformationmechanisms&interface DB B VAR DB A application EuroSpec ISO EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  12. “for a European Infrastructure” or the INSPIRE vision • Data collected once and maintained where most effective • Possible to combine seamlessly • Information collected at one level shared with others necessity to reach beyond EuroGeographics’ membership EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  13. Why this vision? • INSPIRE – Framework legislation for an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe • Technology & ‘open’ standards • Current method of producing pan-European data is costly and slow • Link to database upgrades at the national level • Increasing needs for cross border GI • Increase markets EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  14. EuroSpec objectives (1) • Develop agreed specifications (data model and data content) for reference data • Build a community of key stakeholders (including customers, system and application developers, and other project partners) and involve them in the development and implementation testing of the specifications EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  15. EuroSpec objectives (2) • Test the feasibility of implementing the specifications through development of prototypes - “ to learn by doing”; and, • Develop implementation guidelines for NMA’s to ensure national datasets can be transformed to the European specification(s). EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  16. Example (I) Buildings in the German database • Not yet available in ATKIS EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  17. Example (II) Forest in the Finnish database • Point feature, not Area EU studiedag 12 juni 2003

  18. Example (III) Grassland in the Danish database • Not available in TOP10DK EU studiedag 12 juni 2003
