Worum geht es?

In der 19. Sitzung der INSPIRE Maintenance and Implementation Group (MIG) wurde der derzeitige Sachstand und der Zeitplan der GreenData4All-Initiative vorgestellt. Im Rahmen der Sitzung wurde auch ein Workshop durchgeführt, in dem Rückmeldungen zu den unten genannten Fragen zu den identifizierten Problemen und möglichen Maßnahmen im Rahmen der Fortschreibung der INSPIRE-Richtlinie gesammelt werden sollten. Den Mitgliedstaaten wurde bis zum die Möglichkeit gegeben, schriftlich konsolidiertes Feedback zu diesen Fragen zu geben. Einer Fristverlängerung bis zum hat die Europäische Kommission bereits zugestimmt.

Wer sollte sich an der Kommentierung beteiligen?

Ein Austausch zum Fragenkatalog ist am im Rahmen der 18. Sitzung des AK INSPIRE geplant. Alle interessierten Mitglieder des Lenkungsgremiums GDI-DE sind eingeladen an der Sitzung des AK INSPIRE teilzunehmen. Neben dem AK INSPIRE und dem Lenkungsgremium GDI-DE werden die Kontaktstellen GDI-DE und die Leitungen der weiteren Arbeitskreise der GDI-DE an der Abstimmung beteiligt.

Fragenkatalog

Question 1: Simplify technical provisions

Objective: Simplify technical provisions (harmonization/standardization)

What is necessary/needed to simplify of the provisions for harmonization/standardization of data currently covered by INSPIRE:

#QuestionComments
1.1What would be a minimum level of harmonization/standardization?
1.2What would be the consequence of abandoning the one-size-fits-all approach to harmonization of data?
1.3What issues do you see related to interoperability when simplifying the technical provisions?
1.4What would this mean in terms of cost reductions for data providers?
1.5Would MIMs (Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms) be the solutions as used in Open and Agile Smart Cities and Communities (OASC)?
1.6How do you assess the impact of the alignment with HVD, OPD, Green Data Space?

Question 2: Establishment of a feedback mechanism (user feedback on data)

Objective: Introduce mechanisms for capturing evolving information needs in the field of the environment

INSPIRE provides the governance structure for the data covered. When revising the directive reflection is also needed on optimizing the governance structure:

#QuestionComments
2.1

Who should be responsible for the governance of

  • collecting/assessing the requirements,
  • identification of core datasets,
  • endorsment of technical solutions.

2.2How should it be organised?
2.3What will be the costs/who will cover?

Question 3:  Data confidentially (mechanism, standards)

Objective: Develop new mechanisms for data confidentially in order to reuse non-open and non-personal public environmental data (forest plot data, location of endangered/protected species, soil plot data, ...)

There is a need to:

Options are to:

#QuestionComments
3.1Who should be responsible and how to organise?
  • non-open data should be discoverable through SDIs (based on standardised metadata) and usable in protected environments like data spaces
3.2What are the key issues?
  • data providers have already implemented mechanisms to protect their data, a common framework will be difficult to establish (e. g. Germany has failed to introduce federated access control in the past)

Question 4: Capacity for reusing environmental data

Objective: Build capacity for reusing environmental data for supporting environmental processes (e.g., monitoring, reporting, environmental impact assessments)

When simplifying INSPIRE and transferring responsibility for data processing/harmonization/data product development to others than the providers

#QuestionComments
4.1

What will be the needs for capacity building for green and digital skills to capture evolving data needs in the field of the environment on the side of the:

  • Data providers (share data as-is)
  • Data Intermediaries* (harmonization, additional processing, product development)
  • Users (data product requirements)

* A data intermediary under the DGA is an entity that facilitates the sharing of data between various parties while ensuring neutrality, transparency, and compliance with strict regulatory requirements to protect the interests of both data subjects (individuals) and data holders (providers, intermediaries).


4.2What are the costs/efforts that will be transferred?

Question 5: Simplify and reduce burden of EU data sharing legislation

Objective: Simplify and reduce burden of EU data sharing legislation

In view of the scope of the Implementing Regulation on high value datasets under the Open Data Directive (categories geospatial data, environmental data and earth observation, and mobility), the promotion of reuse of public data under the Data Governance Act, and the drive for a common public sector interoperability from the Interoperable Europe Act: 

#QuestionComments
5.1Would you prefer one common data sharing regime under horizontal legislation?
5.2What would be the possible future role of the INSPIRE Directive? Is it still needed? For what?
  • INSPIRE has been and still is the main driver of sharing spatial data in Europe.
  • In the future, INSPIRE should ensure that all spatial data in Europe is made accessible in such a flexible way that it fulfils the requirements of data-using environments and applications such as data spaces, digital twins, etc. in terms of interfaces, formats, etc.
