Lessons learnt from Italian NSDI

• This presentation wants to analyze the document
  Lessons learnt from Italian NSDI dated
  2004-03-23
• The analysis is integrated with some information
  about present situation of Italian NSDI

Italian AnalysisBackGround
Following the initiative Intesa Stato-Regioni
per i Sistemi Informativi Geografici
(State-regions Agreement for Geographical
Information Systems based on formal agreements
between various Ministries and Public
Administrations), in November 2004 it has been
instituted the National committee for the
definition of the cartographic standards by the
Italian Government. To present, the Italian
Government has no operating NSDI but there exist
the national mapping agencies which have been
actively involved in the military sector (IGM
IIS CIGA) and the National Technical Service
(STN) and the Cadastre.

Italian AnalysisNational Framework - Data Policy
and Legal Framework

• At now the program Sistema Cartografico di
  Riferimento SCR (Cartographic Reference System
  CRS) has started and it is based on the
  networking of specific GISs.
• It is not yet a fully operative NSDI.
• However, the Department of Civil Protection of
  the Prime Minister Office, the Ministry of
  Defence, the Ministry of Environment, the
  Ministry of Technological Innovation, Regions,
  Provinces, Counties are discussing, with the
  scientific support of National Research Council,
  about the opportunity to create a NSDI.
• The INTERO INSPIRE SDIC is an initiative that
  involves the previous institutions in order to
  come up with shared SDI services at the National
  level.

Italian AnalysisNational Cartographic Portal
(PCN)

• The National Cartographic Portal (now available
  at http//www.pcn.minambiente.it ) is the first
  example of national SDI service to manage GIS
  Data and Metadata as a matter of fact, it is the
  Italian focal point for INSPIRE.
• Recently, the National Portal was linked to the
  National Registry of Geographic Data (Metadata
  manager infrastructure of the Ministry of
  Technological Innovation ).
• The portal is also used to manage the entire
  process of the Remote Sensing National Project
  for hydraulic and hydro-geologic risks
• Indeed, the new structured National Cartographic
  Portal, managed by the Italian Government and
  Regional Agencies, is the first candidate for
  becoming the Italian NSDI.

Lessons learnt from Italian NSDI Costs at
National Level (2/2)

• Annual costs for coordination
• The coordination committee is based on the
  participation of functionaries of the different
  administration involved. There is a technical
  support to the Committee with costs detailed below

Lessons learnt from Italian NSDI Costs
The costs to produce Regional specifications
compliant with the common national specifications
can be estimated at 250,000 (this cost includes
100,000 for coordination). According to a rough
estimation it will be possible, with 2-3M, to
migrate the current services and harmonise
existing data in order to be 100 compliant with
INSPIRE. If the transposition will be implemented
in 10 years, the result is that an annual
investment of 200-300,000 is needed that
includes the Region and the associated local
Authorities (about 30). Considering that some
costs are fixed (not dependent on the number of
inhabitants), this annual cost for a Region of
4,000,000 of inhabitants roughly corresponds to a
cost of 40-50,000 for a Region of 250-300,000
inhabitants.

Lessons learnt from Italian NSDI Benefits 1/2
As expressed by the Responsible of the Service of
the Region, the main benefits to set-up an
infrastructure like INSPIRE, are both the quick
access to the data, the improved quality of
services provided to the citizens and the
reduction of time lost to access the data both
for internal use of the Public Administration and
for the citizens or external professional
users. The last can be quantified in About 2
of reduction of time lost yearly by the personnel
of the Public Administration. Considering about
1000 operators the budget that can be saved
yearly is about 800,000 About 10 hours/year of
reduction of time lost by the users/citizens.
Considering about 4,000,000 people, the budget
that can be saved yearly is about 2.400,000

Lessons learnt from Italian NSDI Benefits 2/2
If we consider as a maximum amount of costs of
1M/year for the personnel needed to provide the
services the budget saved yearly is about
2,200,000. In addition to those benefits, the
costs for data reproduction are avoided. Before
the entry in force of web service the
reproduction costs were about 5-10 /map-sheet
now three are not cost associated and the
delivering of this information is free of charge
for digital downloading. (Source Lessons
learnt from Italian NSDI) This affirmation has
been made before the directive that it asserts
The required investment of the preferred option
- a focused framework backed by an EU framework
Directive - will to a large extent be borne by
the public sector and is estimated at an average
of 3.65.4 million per annum per EU Member State
(EU25). This would represent only 1 of the total
expenditure on spatial information. The benefits
include environmental gains, wider social
benefits and gains by the private sector. Only
the environmental benefits have been quantified.
The average annual benefits per Member State
(EU25) amount to 27-42 million. Knowing that
these elements only represent a partial view of
the whole picture, the conclusion is that the
benefits outweigh the investment requirements by
a considerable amount. (Source INSPIRE

Considerations

• Main changes in the national organization
  occurred after 2004
• The analyzed document offers values related to
  the Italian situation at the beginning of 2004
• The document traces and offers very useful
  information to get national and regional
  parameters but it doesn't give the methodologies
  and the indicators

19
Opportunities1/2

• National Committee for the cartographic standards
  and other government agency are producing some
  studies about cost/benefit analysis
• These studies will be ready within April of this
  year.
• There is appraising the constitution of the
  National Geographical Institute.
• A specific document about cost/benefit analysis
  is going to be produced by the responsibles of
  government offices so to upgrade the 2004
  document
• There is some other team to discuss about the
  near problems into GMES community and there is
  the opportunity to link and to integrate the
  INSPIRE information with GMES results

20
Italian NSDIDT MR Goal

• To acquire the last italian analysis about NSDI
  (April 2006)
• To analyze the used and proposed indicators
• To analyze the cost / benefit parameters
• To verify the opportunity to apply the acquired
  data for our DT goals
