How the Team works

• No differences between core and support members
  of Team
• Representatives on interface teams with other DTs
• Team has been split to work in smaller task
  forces

5
Remit of the Team

• To develop draft data-sharing IRs governing
  access and rights of use to spatial data sets and
  services for Community institutions and bodies
  available for adoption by 2007
• To draft IRs governing third party access to
  upload services by 2007
• To draft IRs increasing the potential re-use of
  spatial datasets and services by 2009

6
Deliverables

• Report on requirements of Community institutions
  and bodies (Mar 2006)
• Draft IRs for access for Community institutions
  and bodies (Dec 2006)
• Report on requirements of third parties on access
  to upload services (Mar 2006)
• Draft IRs on third party access to upload
  services (Dec 2006)
• Report on requirements of third parties for
  re-use (Dec 2007)
• Report of current best practices and models for
  data policies (Dec 2007)

Mission of the Team

• The Mission of the Data and Service Sharing
  Drafting Team is to support the establishment of
  INSPIRE by drafting Implementing Rules on Data
  and Service Sharing according to the INSPIRE
  Directive.
• Along the road the requirements of Community
  institutions and bodies, the current types of
  rights, access, and use will be addressed and
  best practice examples in sharing arrangements
  and models for data policies will be looked for.
• The Implementing Rules will create a framework of
  provisions to enable public authorities and
  Community bodies to share spatial data and
  services in order to meet user needs in the
  domain of environmentally related policies in a
  sustainable way.

Meetings

• 3rd/4th October 2005 JRC Ispra / JRC
• 14th/15th November 2005 Vienna / BEV
• Since then cooperation has been
• predominantly via e-mail
• rarely via conference call
• with two task force meetings

First Work Programme (November 2005)

• Identify common ground between Commission
  Proposal and Council Common Position Nov 2005
• Describe working terms and criteria for
  determining the user requirements of the EU
  institutions and bodies Feb 2006
• Seek requirements of Community institutions and
  bodies Feb 2006
• Find best practice examples and create
  models Mar 2006
• Review and evaluation of examples and models Apr
  2006
• Create/develop rules Jun 2006

11
Progress on First Work Programme in Dec 2005/Jan
2006

• Common ground identified between Commission
  Proposal and Council Common Position
• Working terms defined
• Criteria drawn up for user requirements research

12
Progress (continued)

• Provisional list of terms categories for
  collecting requirements
• Terms and definitions
• Already defined terms in the Council version
  (e.g spatial data, charging)
• Relevant but not defined (e.g restriction,
  public task)
• Relevant but depend on the political process
  (e.g. access, point of use) ? final INSPIRE
  directive
• Categories e.g.
• Types of data
• Types of services
• Types of user
• Rights of use, types of usage
• Procedure
• Restrictions

13
Progress on First Work Programme in Dec 2005/Jan
2006

• Common ground identified between Commission
  Proposal and Council Common Position
• Working terms defined
• Criteria drawn up for user requirements research
• Task forces formed to study user requirements of
  Community institutions and bodies

14
Consolidation Team Meeting (February 2006)

• Clarification sought on many issues by all
  Drafting Teams
• All Teams trying to do user requirements studies
  from their own perspective
• Commission announced it will do the user
  requirements study. Delivery date for results not
  defined.
• Criteria for data sharing part of study submitted
  by DSS DT to Consolidation Team and Commission.

15
New Work Programme

• Analysis of the current status ? ongoing
• In the interim
• Continue work on terminology
• Draw up process by which user requirements
  results will be used

16
Planned Actions

• Task forces on
• Access types of access, access point examples
• Rights of use types of usage examples
• Procedure (e.g. application, timeframe, charge,
  clearinghouse) and restrictions (data
  protection,..)
• Work on interface teams with other DTs
• Seek use cases and examples and document them
• When user requirements available from Commission
  study
• Analyse results, produce models and evaluate
• Draft implementing rules for data sharing between
  MS and EU institutions and bodies

17
Issues

• Moving goalposts
• Commission support
• Volatile and distinct wording in the 2nd Reading
  texts

18
Clarification sought from Commission

• User requirements from EU institutions and bodies
• Institutions and bodies of the Community
• examples, criteria and rules - which bodies are
  involved?
• Bodies established by international agreements to
  which the Community and/or MS are party
• examples, criteria and rules - which bodies are
  involved?
• Information about INSPIRE Geoportal
• access point, data flow, clearinghouse, ...

19
Next?

• Get on with preparatory work
• Wait for user requirements study results
• Wait for final Directive text
• Looking to SDICs and LMOs for case studies for
  data sharing arrangements
• Workshop between metadata, network services and
  data and service sharing drafting teams on
  horizontal services (access management,
  authorisation, licensing etc)
