Serving societyStimulating innovationSupporting legislation
Inspiring other policy domains – towards the establishment of a
European Union Location Framework (EULF)
Francesco PIGNATELLI - European Commission, DG JRC
INSPIRE Conference, Florence, 26 June 2013
Agenda
• What are ISA and the EULF?• Stakeholders and governance• Policy priorities• Expected benefits• Focus areas• Work programme• Conclusions
Interoperability Solutions for Public Administrations
• ISA is a Commission-driven EU programme, running from 2010 to 2015, which supports interoperability solutions, sharing and reuse among European Public administrations
• It provides an architectural framework for the seamless exchange of information between IT-systems of the Member States
• Development of guidelines, methodologies and components for cross-sector and cross-border ICT solutions
The EULF opportunity
• Location information is used in a wide range of policy areas: environment, agriculture, transport, health, energy, etc.
• INSPIRE data and standards can be used in many sectors, support cross-sector and cross-border applications, and make a significant contribution to e-Government
• Action is needed to realise the potential of INSPIRE, engage decision makers and address the barriers to re-use and interoperability of location data/services
• This can be achieved through the European Union Location Framework
So what is the EULF?
5
“The EULF is a strategic framework of standards, case studies, guidelines and actions to realise the potential of location information in Europe, facilitating a more aligned approach in policy areas, improvements in the way location information is used in MS e-Government services, and increased interoperability and re-use of data and services, based on INSPIRE. It aims to cover various sectors and through its actions improve the conditions for building cross-border applications”

Joint ISA-INSPIRE Working GroupResponsibilities promote the two geospatial ISA Actions (EULF and ARE3NA); identify policy areas where a more integrated, efficient or
innovative approach to location information is required; identify gaps and demand for reusable technical components and
pilot / test opportunities; identify relevant barriers or good practices; identify the role for INSPIRE and where it will need to be adapted to
support cross-sector or cross-border activities; contribute to workshops, review key outputs and advise on
sustainability strategies. Membership Commission chair MS e-Government and Location Strategy representatives Commission representatives, e.g. DIGIT, JRC, DG ENV, Eurostat,
Note: COGI will communicate with other Commission services
EULF: Analysis of Policy Areas
Expected Benefits
• Cost savings through re-use and interoperability of ICT and data
• Improved policy outcomes, through have a better evidence base
• e-services designed around user needs with location inbuilt and duplication avoided
• Applications easier to implement• Increased possibilities for innovation• Businesses able to introduce new products and
services more easily – generating growth• Wider socio economic benefits, including citizen
participation9

Main actions to date• Agree work programme and organise the team• Workshops with invited stakeholders to review scope and
opportunities• Presentations and attendance at events to promote, discuss and
gather inputs for the EULF• Drafted a Stakeholder Communications and Engagement Strategy• Confirmed ToR for a Joint ISA-INSPIRE Working Group• Developed an approach to realise the goals of the EULF and an
initial draft of the EULF Strategic Vision document• Engagement with DG MOVE to support development of ITS
Directive specifications• Prepared initial best practice factsheets• EULF / ARE3NA / ELF workshop at the INSPIRE Conference –
Monday 24th June

Main upcoming activities
• Policy area reviews – started in May• Member State survey and stakeholders’ interviews – initial
interviews at INSPIRE Conference, distribution early July• Agree relationships with key stakeholders, including:
UN-GGIM Europe – currently agreeing its work programme and considering developing a European Location Strategy
European Location Framework – an initiative from EuroGeographics to create tools, products, and services for cross-border applications
• Forming a Joint ISA-INSPIRE Working Group – July• Developing a web presence – August• Workshops – Autumn • INSPIRE – review and update 2014

Conclusions
• The EULF aims to improve interoperability and use of location information in the e-government and other sectors
• There will be direct public sector benefits at MS and EU level and indirect benefits to citizens and businesses
• Its early days – building the “EULF community” and meeting their needs will be vital
