9Thematic INSPIRE SDICs
- In the framework of INSPIRE, GISIG has promoted
two thematic SDICs - GI-CLAN Geo-Information Community in Coastal
LANdscape - - NATURE-GIS Geo-Information in Protected Areas
and Nature Conservation
10SDICs general objectives
- Favouring the access to Geographical Information
and the data harmonisation - Linkages with other initiatives
promoted/participated by GISIG (e.g. GI-INDEED,
HUMBOLDT) - Linkages with other initiatives and events at EU
level in their field - Favouring the link between experts and users
(Community) - Promoting initiatives for the training of
cross-cutting experts
11Nature - GIS SDIC mission and keywords
- Public access to Geographical Information for
Protected Areas and Nature Conservation to
support the capacity of Protected Areas
stakeholders in improving and rationalising the
geo-information flow and communication - GIS-oriented approach gathering and
rationalising all efforts made by operators and
organisations and better identifying specific
needs of authorities in charge of environmental
protection - Interdisciplinary method to promote the
collaboration among experts in different
disciplines and to offer to the final users a
support in exploiting the GIS potentiality in the
specific field of Protected Areas
12GI-CLAN SDIC main topics
- Coastal landscape it is the meeting point of the
natural and human features of a coastal
territory GI-CLAN will be developed according
with the provisions of the European Landscape
Convention - Coastal Knowledge Building the building of
coastal knowledge grounds on easily accessible,
sharable and updated data and information,
collected on a scientific base - Coastal governance, coastal planning and coastal
design - - Governance policy definition, ICM choices and
needs, statement of objectives. - - Planning strategies, specific objectives,
extension of interventions in an operational
perspective. Integration among scientists,
actors, planners and decision makers is
essential. - - Design referred to specific actions often
at a local scale. It implies a participated
integration especially towards local communities.
- Waterfront management subject to high human
pressure and a multitude of uses, in the European
context it is a regional and not only an urban
issue.

34- HUMBOLDT
- Development of a Framework for Data Harmonisation
and Service Integration
Objective HUMBOLDT will contribute to the
implementation of an European Spatial Data
Infrastructure (ESDI) that integrates the
diversity of spatial data available from the
multitude of European organizations. To achieve
this objective and to maximise the benefits
gained from this integration, the requirements of
INSPIRE, of GMES, of the environmental agencies
and of other related activities in the EU will be
