MIWP 2016 -2020 Discussion
End-user applications
MIWP Work Area
End-user applications
Objective
Strengthen the end-user perspective by promoting and
developing end-user tools which allow to harvest the
benefits from INSPIRE for environmental policy makers and
implementers across the EU at all levels of governance.
Discussion Scope
• EU end-user applications and tools
• INSPIRE Geoportal
• M&R system 2019 and List of priority data sets are discussed seperately.
End-user applications
EU-level requirements & focus
•
•
•
Develop (end-user) applications with added value for the EU level user (DG
ENV, EEA, JRC, ESTAT and others) that allows easy access to national spatial
information through the INSPIRE infrastructure so to make use of this
information.
Demonstrate the added value of applying INSPIRE for reporting and other
relevant information sharing at EU level.
Ensure that the projects result in concrete outcomes which are envisaged as a
follow up to the Fitness Check on Environmental Monitoring and Reporting
and thereby help streamline the future process of reporting under EU
legislation (e.g. Monitoring & Reporting 2019)
Type of applications
• A portal for environmental pressures
• An EU level platform to facilitate access to environmental data
generated in the context of the Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directives
(EIA-SEA platform).
Geoportal
The current INSPIRE geoportal is mainly an instrument for INSPIRE
compliancy validation processes (connection to the geoportal,
metadata, monitoring …) and offers limited functionality for nonspecialized end-users.
Geoportal integrated in INSPIRE website
Portal frontend focusing on end-users
Satisfy the primary publish-find-bind needs as envisaged in the Directive and link to
national portals. Users can search metadata, visualize the data in a viewer and
download the data for use. All end-user apps are accessible from the frontend.
Validation and M&R applications
The functionality for compliance assurance
and validation that is currently available in
the geoportal should be continued and
improved as part of the project "INSPIRE
Monitoring & Reporting 2019".
Other functionality & applications
• How to make INSPIRE data and
services discoverable by WSE
(google, bing …) - Pan-european
searches …
• Environmental pressures
