WORKSHOP on
INSPIRE Data Specifications and Reporting
JRC Ispra, 26 March 2012
Reportnet, Reporting Data Flows and
INSPIRE
Darja Lihteneger, European Environment Agency
Outlines
•Reportnet
• What is it?
• ... As it is now
•General characteristics of the reporting data flows
•Links between INSPIRE and reporting data flows
• Example: CDDA Reporting
• Example: END Reporting
•Challenges to be answered
Reportnet: What is it?
• Reportnet is a system of
integrated IT tools and
processes; based on the
active use of the WWW;
• supports the European
environmental reporting;
• aims to improve the harmonisation and
standardisation of all Eionet data flows (from
detailed definition of the requested data to the
generation of the final information products);
•has been developed since 2000 and has been in
operational use since 2002.
Reportnet: As It is Now
Uploads, downloads,
versioning, official data
sets, metadata
Defines datasets, definitions of data
elements, attributes, data types,
value domains and relationships
Storing, publishing
reported
deliveries
General characteristics of the
reporting data flows
•Main stakeholders: data requesters (report to) and
data provider (reporting data)
•Processes involved: • Delivery (delivery envelopes)
• Quality Analysis (automatic and manual)
• Aggregation (individual deliverables into common
dataset)
• Analysis
•Confirmation - correctness of the delivered data
•Regular repetitions: frequency of reporting
•Reporting = snapshot of data in certain time period
•Keeping history of reporting data
Example: Common Database on
Designated Areas (CDDA) - 1 ROD - Reporting obligation:
• Countries to EEA to UNEP-WCMC
• Frequency: Annually
• Geographic: Europe wide
Data Dictionary Specification:
Data Model
Value domains
INSPIRE Protected Sites:

Example: Environmental Noise
Directive (END) Reporting - 1
Objectives:
• Determine exposure through noise mapping
• Adopt action plans to prevent and reduce environmental noise and to preserve noise quality where it is good
Objectives
and practice
Current use of spatial data:
• Noise modelling, mapping, assessments, planning
• Provided in reporting: not on harmonised, standardised ways: very detailed in some cases; generalised (simplified) in other cases; provided as maps only or in diverse data formats (pdf, images, …)
Example: Environmental Noise
Directive (END) Reporting - 2
• Expectations from INSPIRE – improvement in reporting:
• Harmonised, timely and high-quality spatial data
Expectations
Noise contour data/maps
Agglomerations and quite areas
– detailed data/maps
Example: Environmental Noise
Directive (END) Reporting - 3
Reporting obligation:
• European Union Members States
• 7 reporting obligations
• Diverse time frame:
• Noise maps II in 2012
• Action plans II in 2013
Conceptual
level
Reporting Obligation Database
• Transport networks
• Buildings
• Environmental monitoring facilities
• Population distribution
• Area management
• others
Several INSPIRE themes:
Complexity – several
INSPIRE data
specifications;
INSPIRE - generic;
END – specific,
extensions and data
integration!
Challenges to be answered
•GOVERNANCE • Harmonising time frames: INSPIRE <> thematic reporting
• Legal confirmation - data has been reported
• Responsibility for maintaining “old reporting versions”
• SEIS principles
•CONTENT • Conceptual: INSPIRE data models extensions & changes
• Generic & spatial (INSPIRE) <> details (reporting)
• Spatial data (INSPIRE) and non-spatial data in reporting
•TECHNICAL • Re-using INSPIRE components in reporting data flows
(metadata, services, registers: UML models, code lists)
• Interoperability INSPIRE <> Reportnet (concepts, tools)
• INSPIRE infrastructure availability
