6. Plan4all Workshops for Stakeholders

Date: 6th

December 2010

Venue: Valletta, Malta

Program:

1. Introduction by Jesmond Xuereb (FTZ).

The project focuses on “seven spatial data themes as outlined in Annex II and III of the

INSPIRE Directive [which are the following: Land cover, land use, utility and governmental

services, production and industrial facilities, agriculture and aquaculture facilities, area

management/restriction/regulation zones and reporting units and natural risk zones” (Plan4all,

2010).

2. Presentation by Lawrence Attard

3. Discussion

MITA has taken over responsibility for the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive over

from MEPA. And ether than taking a top-down approach, a bottom-up approach needs to be

taken.

We need to draft a series of data sets. We need to follow implementation rules. One can only

gather data through metadata format. Data must be in pure GI (Geography Information)

Format. Each spatial data theme must be taken care of by the relevant authorities and bodies.

So for example, regarding the seven themes:

• land cover and land use – to be taken care of by MEPA

D9.7.4 Workshops and Conferences

10/12

• utility and governmental services – to be taken care of by LANDS/MEPA

• production and industrial facilities – to be taken care of by WASTESERV

• agriculture and aquaculture facilities – to be taken care of by FISHERIES AND

AGRICULTURE

• area management/restriction/regulation zones – to be taken care of by LANDS/Malta

Enterprise

• reporting units and natural risk zones – MIP/WASTSERV

Our aim is not to implement the seven spatial data themes but to identify which spatial data

from the seven themes outlined above is available for Malta.

4. Conclusion

From this workshop, we have seen that data is too scattered to be recorded. Therefore, we

must have one-to-one meetings with every stakeholder and see how we are going to reach an

agreement on collecting metadata. Every organisation must have the same format and

common software must be developed.

7. Plan4all workshops already convened by EUROGI

The documents produced by the workshop convened by the EUROGI members will be

published by the end of the project. The table lists the workshops that were already held.
