The document discusses the European Location Framework (ELF) and INSPIRE initiatives. It provides an overview of EuroGeographics, which aims to bring interoperable geospatial reference data to benefit society. It outlines the goals and progress of INSPIRE, including its themes and roadmap. It then discusses the proposed concept of ELF to provide harmonized reference data and interoperability services across Europe.
![Meeting the GMES requirements [1] Topographic maps may contain the following thematic layers: administrative boundaries, hydrography, transport, settlements, vegetation, named locations, monuments, power lines, towers etc. If a pan-European coverage is required at the scale of 1:25.000 to 1:50.000 it is necessary to access the data from a large number of individual regional and national data providers; whereas at scale of 1:100.000 or 1:250.000 a pan-European coverage may be achieved by means of a single coherent dataset though initially often compiled from national maps.

- 4. What is INSPIRE? 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.

- 12. What do our stakeholders want? ESDIN user requirement work Regular contacts with key users Our members expertise through Knowledge Exchange Networks
- 13. ESDIN results – www.esdin.eu (and videos in Youtube) An understanding of user requirements Harmonised specifications for data Transformation rules and services A comprehensive quality assurance approach, including automation of quality evaluation services Generalisation rules and services A modular approach to pricing and licensing and a Geo Product Finder A more efficient way of gaining access to the data – Federations authenticated by Shibboleth Tools for testing the infrastructure Proposals and tools to manage maintenance and updates A solution to technical architecture.
- 14. Proposed concept for The European Location Framework Set of specifications for reference data and interoperability services Interoperability across resolutions, themes and between countries for topographic, administrative and cadastral reference data . Reference data services implemented by the Member States (NMCAs) Interoperability services by actors Co-ordination by European organizations (e.g. EuroGeographics) Funded by Member States, Commission and users Community of users and other data providers, developers, service intergrators European Location Framework GEOSS /
- 15. The European Location Framework GOALS from the EuroGeographics point of view The concept of reference data –concentrate on the main business of the public sector Work together with other players to create the infrastructure Concentrate on one reference data layer at regional level and derive small scale from it Large scale reference data based on NMCAs distributed services Create tools for NMCAs to provide the data; transformation; edge-matching; quality; generalization, security Build the reference data that others can rely on (UIDs, quality) Align other thematic data like ECRINS with it Make data policy and licensing work Build the community
- 16. Reference data Reference datasets are a series of datasets that everyone involved with geographic information uses to reference his/her own data as part of their work. They provide a common link between applications and thereby provide a mechanism for sharing knowledge and information amongst people (FGDC, 2005; Rase et al., 2002) It provides an unambiguous location for a user’s information; It enables the merging (aggregating/fusing) of data from various sources; It provides a geographic framework or context to allow others to better understand the spatial information that is being presented; It is subject to a regular data maintenance regime; It is provided from an authoritative source with a mandate, or responsibility, for it’s maintenance and availability.

- 24. EuroGeoCloud To link existing national services (WMS, WFS) to create European coverage at large scales Cost effective and easy to build Strong interest in developer community Use cases include industrial risk management, Public Map shop, Emergency Map response, Insurance risk assessement
- 25. First step: Emergency Response Agreement Need to access available reference data from member states for the GMES Emergency Reponse Service Agreement signed with EEA (and potentially with the Commission) EuroGeographics acts as a first point of contact A network of contacts to be agreed with members for data provision Target to be able to provide geospatial reference data so that GMES emergency response maps may be provided withing 6-24 hours from activation GMES emergency service covers 39 EEA countries

Editor's Notes
- #13: (Note the presentation follows the logic of found requirements from ESDIN) ESDIN project (2008-2011) identified user requirements via a number of activities including surveys, interviews and meetings. These revealed that users would like: -More flexible pricing and licensing terms and conditions to enable wider use and “downstream” activities. -Better search and retrieval systems to work with new technology (discovery, view, download, metadata, data quality descriptions, data exchange formats, consistency between datasets, etc), although most users seem prepared to accept what is available as long as it comes with “good enough” descriptions. -Harmonised data (data definitions and classifications, reference and transformation systems, data exchange formats, multilingual services, etc.) for organisations working at a multinational (crossborder, pan-European) level. Similar requirements were found by the user insights study, independent research on key users conducted in the later phase of the project: -Consistent geospatial reference data and identifiers gives a much stronger framework for their analysis -Clear updates and indicators of validity, such as the data origin, will aid integration with user datasets -Trustworthy, quality-assured data will eliminate the need for verification at the user end (In the bottom of the ESDIN slide there is a process description of geoinformation from the user perspective)
- #16: Remove ’the’ before EuroGeographics
- #19: The idea is to build on members reference data process based on the idea of master database (urban, rural and remote areas) and then ExM based on databases at regional level (1:100 000-1:250 000). Regional level database would then be generalized to Global database 1:1000 000. NMCAs would provide reference data services providing administrative boundaries, hydro, transport, other topographic data, addresses, buildings, DEMS, Landcover, Geographical Names and Ortho based on ExM/INSPIRE specifications. EG would make a edge-matched database at regional level and global level covering Europe. These datasets would be connected to user datasets like ECRINS, Urban Atlas, Corine Land Cover, Point of Interests, Statistical (part of current EBM), commercial datasets like Teleatlas/Navtech roaddata. EG/NMCAs would provide common services for European Infrastructure like Edge-matching service (based on multiple representation boundary database), quality evaluation service, co-ordinate transformation service, view and download service, EGN+ address location service + number of registry services. INSPIRE Commission service + GMES Reference data sercvices would use the reference data services based on NMCAS for maintaining and updating their reference data. Commercial service integrators would provide data for mass-market applications.
- #20: The ‘!’ should be a ‘?’
- #25: With EuroGeoCloud we would acclerate the access to the existing national services, we plan to propose it as one component to future EU funded call (ICT/PSP 2012)
- #31: Working with you because working together we are stronger
