INSPIRE TIMELINE –Phase 2: Publishing new data

UKLP / INSPIRE – Who is affected?

All public authorities that create location information.

• The legal obligation to publish only applies if the data comes under an INSPIRE data theme, but you are encouraged to go beyond this and publish any location information of benefit for sharing and re-use.

•Private organisations are also encouraged to publish the location information they create, particularly if associated with the delivery of a public task, or social benefit.

UKLP / INSPIRE – What Data?“Location Information in the context of the UKLII is the data (held electronically) that identifies the geographic location of features and boundaries, such as natural or constructed features, oceans, etc.”

Location information is usually stored as coordinates and topology, and comes in three forms:Vector data – points, lines and polygons.Raster data – digital satellite imagery, or air photos, and elevation shading or digital elevation models.Text data – alphanumeric data that includes coordinate referencing (e.g. latitude, longitude, and height), also referred to as ‘geo-referenced’, or “geo-encoded”.

The UKLII excludes other forms of Raster Maps, e.g. PDF, and data that might be associated with a location, but otherwise is not geospatial in form.”

MEDIN and UKLP / INSPIRE• MEDIN represents the marine community on the UK Location Information Interoperability Board

• MEDIN is playing a leading role in establishing UKLP / INSPIRE standards

• UKLP has adopted UK Gemini 2 as discovery metadata standard .

• Ordnance Survey have been contracted to build discovery metadata service, as part of data.gov, which will provide national metadata publishing service to INSPIRE

• Aim is that MEDIN can meet partners’ metadata/data publishing obligations under INSPIRE

•MEDIN will publish all MEDIN metadata (on request) through to UK node and hence to INSPIRE.

• Pending final definition of data publishing requirements MEDIN DAC network can also publish data to INSPIRE.

MEDIN DAC network acts as data publisher for MARINE SECTOR

MEDIN and data.gov

• Need further clarifications on plans for data.gov, and better understanding of objectives.

• Will it be appropriate for all marine data, or some subsets?

•Reference information

• Infrastructure: pipelines, cables, administrative areas,

• Analysed information: statistics, distributions

• Can it be progressively adopted?

• Potential conflict with developments of standards elsewhere?
