Annex II

• Elevation• Land cover• Orthoimagery• Geology

8

TWG-ELElevation

• “Elevation” is a basic reference component and of interest for many users and uses.

• The theme includes terrestrial elevation data (terrain or surface) and bathymetry data.

• Core datasets are Digital Elevation Models (DTM or DSM) for land, ice and sea bottom as regular grids or TINs. But also vector elements like contour lines or break lines represents these kind of surfaces.

• Links and overlaps with other themes :Hydrography, Buildings, Geographical Namesand Administrative Boundaries

• Fundamental for the theme “Elevation” is a common vertical reference system for Europe (=> EVRS2000, (EVRS2007))

• For many applications elevation data is needed as input, for example flood simulation or production of ortho-imagery.

• Shoreline is a important and challenging feature for this theme.The definition of shorelines have to be discussed internally and of course with the other TWGs concerned.

9

TWG-OIOrthoimagery

• This theme covers geo-referenced image data of the Earth's surface, from either satellite or airborne sensors

• Data model might contain rather metadata than “real world objects”

• Geometrical corrected (“orthorectified”) images • No restrictions in terms of used sensors and spatial resolution

(“provide what you have”) unlikely link to TWG Elevation • Data processing is out of scope • In INSPIRE context they OI are mainly used as background

images for numerous applications (also data capturing)• Use cases and user requirements will consider also GMES issues

and controlling of agricultural funding

TWG-GE+MRGeology

• Geology provides basic knowledge about properties of the rocks (physical and chemical composition, genesis, structure);

• It is the basis to locate natural resources (building stones, aggregate materials, industrial minerals, ores, groundwater, oil and gas);

• It provides key information to understand and mitigate natural hazards;

• And for land use planning (protecting groundwater, safe disposal of wastes, safe construction of buildings and infrastructure, CO2storage)

• Geology theme is defined by these core elements:– Geologic Units, Geologic Structures, Earth Material– Geophysics, Geochemistry, Geomorphology – Groundwater aquifers– Depth is a fundamental attribute

TWG-GE+MRMineral Resources

• Mineral Resources include various segments according to the nature of materials, the technologies involved in exploration and mining, the markets:

– metal mining, industrial minerals, construction minerals and rocks, ornamental stones, precious and semi-precious stones

• Data refers to:– Occurrences: concentrations of minerals are observed – without

a proven economic potential, – Deposits: areas of mineral concentrations with economic

potential• Mineral Resources theme is defined by these core elements:

– Deposits / Occurrences with commodities, mineral system, deposit model, ore measure (reserve, resource, endowment)

– Mines with product, mined material, mining activity– Depth is a fundamental attribute

TWG-SU+PDStatistical Units

• units for dissemination and use of statistical information; • support establishment, aggregation, assessment and display of

statistical information i.e. any numerical representation of someobserved phenomenon;

• geo-reference statistical data from different statistical fields likedemography, economy, environment and natural resources’

• are organized into hierarchy, can have temporal characteristics andtime-dependent relations to other feature types representing unitsof territorial dissemination,

• can be spatially represented by:– areas e.g. NUTs regions, census and statistical districts, urban areas,

management zones, postal codes, reporting units,– points corresponding to the addresses, households,

• can spatially link to administrative units, address, or land cover.

17

TWG-SU+PDPopulation distribution - demography

• geographical distribution of people, including population characteristics and activity levels, aggregated by grid, region, administrative unit or other analytical unit;

• are localized in time regarding both, data collection anddata validity,

• concern:– figures for age classes, gender, mortality, life expectancy, migration, – changes over time e.g. growth/reduction in population,– number of households, rate of employment, education, income,

households with children etc,– figures for economic activities according to the NACE v1.1 eg. :

production, consumption, stocks, income, employment, transport andtraffic,

– geographical aggregations of buildings into settlements, villages, townships, towns, cities;

• must be linked to areal statistical units (area or grid) on relevant aggregation levels.

18

TWGTWG--BU : BuildingsBU : Buildings

• Directive: physical location of buildings

• TWG BU: A building is an enclosed construction, used or intended for the shelter of humans, animals or things, for the production of economic goods or for delivery of services. A building refers to any structure permanently constructed or erected on its site.

• 4 major use cases:– Safety, risk management (flood, storm, fire, earthquake, …)– Spatial planning– Environment (noise, air quality, energy, soil, …)– Infrastructure (transport, utilities, …)

• Physical description of buildings under scope of TWG BU

• Functional description of building and/or facility under scope of:– TWG BU - TWG AF -TWG TN– TWG US - TWG PF

TWG-SOSoil

Scope• Definition soil is more a description than a

definition.• After a first discussion we decided to focus our

work on:– Soil inventory and soil monitoring– Soil mapping– Derived soil thematic maps.

• In the given draft soil contaminated areas are not mentioned

21

TWG-SOSoil

Planning of work phase DS 1.01. Rephrasing scope 2 August2. Inventory material survey 9 July

– Reference material, User Requirements,Relevant EU legislation, Relevant EU projects

3. In depth analysis – a start 2 August4. Identifying Use cases to be used further in modelling. 9 August

– Challenge: limiting numbers to a workable amount.

5. First draft of objects and features 1 September6. DS version 1.0. 15 September

Challenge: tight timeframe – holyday season: expected problems with using existing networks/contacts

22

TWG-SOSoil

Cross-theme issues• No in depth analysis done yet• So far following issues showed up:

– Soil definition: brought in by TWG Geology– Contaminated sites: what is done by TWG Human

health and safety?– Soil monitoring: what is done by TWG Human Health

and Safety and TWG environmental monitoring facilities?

23

TWG-LULand use

INSPIRE definition• (INSPIRE, 2007) Territory characterised

according to its current and future plannedfunctional dimension or socio–economic purpose(e.g. residential, industrial, commercial, agricultural, forestry, recreational).

• Land use may be characterised as ordinarymapping of existing functions as an objective picture of the use and functions of a territory, but may also be plans characterising how land may be utilised at present and in the future

24

TWG-LULand use

LandAs a resource to manageAs a location for activitiesPiece of land as an agglomerate of land parcels being homogeneous regarding defined criteria

UseFunctional use regarding activities

Land-use Pieces of land having homogeneous functional use regarding human activitiesZoning designates permitted uses of land based on mapped zones which separate one set of land uses from another.

25

TWG-LULand use

Land versus geographical objectHuman activity on a piece of land includes the “infrastructures” necessary for the activity to take place

Car-parks necessary for the peopleGardens necessary for the “well fare” of actorsWarehouses for the stocksFront office – back office

Geographical objectsPart of a piece of landContributing to its functional use

26

TWG-LULand use

Territory of discourse is the area for which information is given (a municipality, a region, etc.)Zoning is a partition of the territory of discourse

divided into cells that do not overlap and that the union of cells covers the Territory of discourse

"cells" are both collectively exhaustive and mutually exclusive with respect to the Territory of discourse .

TWG-HHHuman Health and Safety

• The theme, as defined in Annex III focuses on health data (pathologies) linked directly and indirectly to the quality of the environment

• A scope of the theme has been roughly grouped into:– Health data– Health determinants: environmental and social– Health services– Security / safety issues

• Selection and specification of ‘Health data’ expected to be addressed solely by TWG HH

• ECHI - considered a starting point for identifying relevant health data for data specification development

• Work on ‘Health determinants’, ‘Health services’ and ‘Safety/security’data expected to require substantial interactions with other TWGs

• The process of identifying relevant TWGs for specific data has started• Relevant data and information sources being identified to complement

available reference material• Definition of core elements of data in TWG HH – still ongoing process

due to the nature of relevant data

30

TWG-USUtility & Governmental Services

• Scope includes services supplied by public authorities (whether national, regional or local), but also by semi-public organizations or even private companies, that were appointed to provided services to population.

• The scope covers physical services, e.g. utility networks:– Pipeline networks (oil & gas, water & sewage, heat)– Wire & Cable networks (electricity, telecommunications)

but also more environment related facilities such as:– Sites for waste deliveries & treatments (sewage sludge, mining, etc.)– Illegal or controlled, hazardous or not, at land and sea

and Administrative & social governmental services:– Education & culture, health & social care, emergency & security– Sports & leisure, economic infrastructure, protection facilities, etc.

31

TWG-USUtility & Governmental Services

• Specific focus will be done during phase 1 on :– Notion of public services vs private sector activities– Aspect of confidentiality vs diffusion (for commercial and

security reasons)– Environmental use vs broad meaning of “environment”

• The wide scope of this theme imposed us to split in 3 sub-themes

– 5 experts dedicated + 1 facilitator + 1 editor + 1 contact point

• Many links with done work (thanks to TWGs TN & HY), but also with current TWGs (BU, LU, HH, EF, PF, NZ, etc.)

• Need to gather use cases & requirements:Please send them to [email protected]

TWG-EFEnvironmental monitoring facilities

• IN– monitoring facilities are a basic element to link observations and

measurements to a spatial feature– Monitoring facilities reflect to one or more features of interest– connection to specific networks – related to one or more legal acts

[maybe on different level of administration (local, regional, national or European)]

– Observations and measurements are seen as a self standing thematic area (INSPIRE directive A III, 7)

– Data protection on object level like for natural heritage (e.g. caves) or protected species (e.g. birds breading places)

• Out – Any kind of interpreted or substantial processed data– Observations and measurements are seen as a self standing thematic

area (D2.3)• Linked to:

– Any theme in Annex I, II and III with monitoring– Themes not included in Annexes of INSPIRE (or not visible so far)

34

TWG-PFProduction and Industrial Facilities

• Industrial production sites, water abstraction facilities, mining, storages sites, waste/disposal sites and energy production facilities.

• Needed in modeling and assessment of pressures on the environment, in land use planning, in risk and hazards management.

• Links to Annex Themes:AD*,CP*,RS,HY,PS*,TN*• Links to Annex II Themes: GE*, LC.• Links to Annex III Themes: AF, AM*, BU,ER,EM,

HH*,LU,MR,NZ*,US

35

TWG-AF Agricultural & Aquacultural Facilities

• TWG AF: 6 dedicated experts. 5 Nacionalities (I,DE,NL,BG,ES)• Definition: (INSPIRE,2007) Farming equipment and production

facilities.• Facilities Classification based on NACE1.1 and ISIC:

– Growing of crops; market gardening; horticulture (e.gIrrigation, Greenhouses, Warehouses,…)

Intensive Forestry Plantations Included.– Farming of animals (e.g. Sheepfolds, Stables, Muck-

collectors, …)Hunting not Included.

– Fish farming (e.g. Fish farms, Breeding-places, …)Fishing and Catching in natural environment not included .

• Links with other groups:– Production & Industrial Facilities, Land Use, Cadastral Parcels,

Hydrography, Transport Networks, Buildings, Environmental Monitoring.

• Contact: [email protected] or in the INSPIRE Forum.

mailto:[email protected]

36

• Two sides of the definition: general <> specific topics:– general (areas managed, regulated or used for reporting at

different levels; relevant reporting units)– specific “examples”: dumping sites, river basin districts,

restricted areas around drinking water sources, nitrate-vulnerable zones, …)

• Management/restriction/regulation areas are established in different sectors (description in D2.3), used within policies (spatial planning, land use planning, etc.), related to environmental topics

• Defined units used for reporting (from – to, when, what, …)

TWG-AMArea management/restriction/regulation zones and

reporting units

37


reporting units

• Related to legislative background and often implemented at local level

• Designated authorities for management, implementation and reporting

• Setting flexible framework with top level types, extended towards specific topics and elements

• Terminology issue• Need for different thematic input (thematic

communities, legislation)

38


reporting units

Cross-theme relationships• First look: relationships to many INSPIRE themes: protected sites,

hydrography, transport netw., administrative un., statistical un., utilities & governmental serv., land use, environmental monitoring facilities, agricultural and aquacultural facilities,…);

• Expected to receive indications of relationships from other INSPIRE themes

• General open issues:– Link to Annex I themes: how to introduce abstract classes to

existing models?– Identifying the boundaries between the themes (what in which

theme; specific cases) and links?– Working on many relationships between the themes at the

same time might make harmonisation very difficult – is any organisational support foreseen (like core group to support the cross-theme links and harmonisation)?

39


reporting units

Cross-theme relationships• AU Administrative units (existing model):

– Object referencing to the AU model?

• SU Statistical units:– What is covered within SU?– How the limitation between the scopes of SU and AM is

defined/seen?– Specific cases, like: ICES fishing areas (statistical calculations)

are they part of SU?

• LU Land use:– What kind of restriction zones are included (if any)?– National/regional restrictions > local level implementation?– How the “general>extensions approach” is supported within LU:

general model (AM) > specific extensions (details) in LU?

40


reporting units

Cross-theme relationships• TN Transport networks (existing model) – to check:

– Traffic separation schemas, fairways at seas? – How this model covers restriction zones?– Possibility to introduce abstract class to TN model?

• PS Protected sites (existing model) – to check:– How this model covers restriction zones?– Possibility to introduce abstract class to PS model?

• EF Environmental monitoring facilities:– Do links exist (AM -> EF or EF -> AM or AM <-> EF)

• US Utility and governmental services:– Examples: in which theme – police districts, fire-brigade districts,

school districts, …?– Facilities or districts/areas in UG?

• AF Agricultural and aquaculture facilities:– Facilities or districts, restriction zones, area management in AF?

Atmospheric Conditions + Meteorological Features

Two critical aspects specific to AC+MF:• Data representation:

– Space (vertical)– Time– Real time aspect– To adapt the current solutions to an interoperable– framework is a challenge

• Coordination:– WMO Inter-Programme effort towards Metadata and Data

Interoperability – OGC Met Ocean Domain Working Group– Efficient cooperation will be vital to ensure feasibility

49


- Uses data from:- Hydrography- Elevation- Land cover- Oceanographic Geographical Features + Sea Regions- Soil- Land Use- ...

- Provides data to:- Energy resources (solar, wind)- Natural Risk Zones- Human Health and Safety- Environmental Monitoring Facilities- ...

50


The question of the scope• « The scope of ‘Atmospheric conditions’ thematic data should be limited to

(six-hourly) synoptic analyses and forecasts (typically griddedmodel fields), climatological data, and other integrated and/or summary data. »

• « The scope of ‘Meteorological geographical features’ thematic data shouldbe limited to local-level high-resolution (weather-related) data, typically observations.

– This includes synoptic observations from stations making up the WMO RA VI (European) Regional Basic Synoptic Network. »

(Ref: D2.3 Definition of Annex Themes and scope)

• Yes, but…– This distinction leaves many questions unanswered– And, more importantly, it does not map with the actual content and structure of

meteorological information

51

TWGTWG--BRBR--HBHB--SDSDBioBio--geographicalgeographical RegionsRegions + + HabitatsHabitats and and BiotopesBiotopes

+ + SpeciesSpecies DistributionDistribution

• Scope of the data specifications should be mainly on habitats or species of European interest.

• TWG will deal with all three themes in shared discussions to ensure internal cross-themesconsistency.

• Need for link:– with Natura2000 Expert Group activities to ensure the

consistency with updated Standard Data Form (SDF);– with TWG PS to discuss Full application schema;– other TWGs (EF, others, still to be specified).

• Priority: Collection and analysis of reference material, related references from D 2.3 as well as user requirements/use cases.

52



• Open issues:– How to deal with PS Application schemas esp. candidates types,

placeholders– Habitats types/groups - keep it on as simple/generic level as

possible– Why observation was excluded from Species Distribution

Clarification?– Need for use cases from DG ENV– Check the use cases and reference material from the other DGs

• Need to gather use cases & requirements:• Please send them to

TWG-ER Energy Resources

The theme covers:• Non renewable energy resources (oil, gas, coal,

uranium, thorium)– energy resource deposit (shape is controlled by geology and

economic as well as technical parameters)– assessment object of non renewable energy resource (shape

is controlled merely by geologic and tectonic conditions)

• Renewable energy resources (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, tidal, wave, river hydro energy)

– observing object of renewable energy resource (different geometry - points, line, areas) (discrete approach)

– grid of renewable energy potential (shape controlled by geographic grid system) (continuous approach)

55


The theme does not cover:• any infrastructure, but where needed there has to be ensured

topological connectivity (e.g. as soon as a deposit is exploited it means it has to be automatically connected either to already defined transport network or future utility network – hydrocarbon schema)

56


57TWG-SR : Sea Regions

– Sea Regions (INSPIRE, 2007) Physical conditions of seas and saline water bodies divided into regions and sub-regions with common characteristics.

– D2.3 regards "Sea regions" Saline water bodies divided into regions and sub-regions. Each region with common characteristics, concerning water flow/ circulation, adjacent river catchments, bio-chemical or temperature of water, based on scientific criteria.

– Focus is on the local/regional level coastal zone.– The first consideration was that there seemed to be some inconsistency in the

definitions, e.g. Sea Regions means 'coastal'.– D2.3 focused on definitions related to physical characteristics, the cited example

was the WFD reporting units. In this context Sea Region is also a 'Reporting Unit' (another Annex III theme) and this RU Theme defines how sub division of the Sea into regions should be performed.

– The team were aware of many other communities that define Sea Regions such as WMO, IHO and ICES that are not related to physical characteristics

58TWG-OF : Ocean Features

– Ocean Geographic Features (INSPIRE, 2007) Physical conditions of oceans (currents, salinity, wave heights, etc.).

– Are concerned with the high seas and larger oceanic physical/dynamic structures.

– Physical conditions of oceans (e.g. currents, salinity, etc) represented as lines, grids or points. Includes spatial data sets based on measurements, on models or on a combination thereof and includes measurement locations (INSPIRE Scoping, 2004)

– Clearly Ocean Features are directly related to the observation and measurement process for these features

– OF are propertiesOf a Sea Region
