INSPIRE legislation

Directive came into force already in 2007 Implemented in various stages:

Annexes I, II and III Discovery services, Download Services and Viewing Services

Full implementation required by 2019 The INSPIRE directive aims to create an European Union (EU) spatial data

infrastructure This will enable the sharing of environmental spatial information among public

sector organizations and better facilitate public access to spatial information across Europe

The emphasis is on creating business value on top of public data (PSI directive) 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

Common Principles in INSPIRE

Data should be collected only once and kept where it can be maintained most effectively

It should be possible to combine seamless spatial information from different sources across Europe and share it with many users and applications.

It should be possible for information collected at one level/scale to be shared with all levels/scales; detailed for thorough investigations, general for strategic purposes

Geographic information needed for good governance at all levels should be readily and transparently available

Easy to find what geographic information is available, how it can be used to meet a particular need, and under which conditions it can be acquired and used

Potential data for Distribution maps

Finnish Museum of Natural History Digitized and georeferenced parts of collections in other Museums Data from University Researchers Other Non-governmental Data-Sources

Tiira- Bird observation database (BirdLife Finland) Insects (Hosted by the Museum but maintained by amateur biologists)

Governmental Data Sources for Biodiversity Data Finnish Environmental Agency, Finnish Forest Research Institute, Natural

Heritage Services, Game adn Fisheries Research,

Private Sector Data Sources and/or users? Consultants and engineering companies doing environmental assessments

Cooperation is made mandatory!

Inspire could be seen as a thematic network for GBIF and/or Life Watch

Good quality georeferenced data

Currently connections are on a national level

Is there a need to connect "GBIF Europe" to INSPIRE?

Where to provide European wide datasets?
