Our Presentation:
• Raise awareness of the real organisational issues in delivering SDI• Present a leading UK SDI• Offer a framework for evaluating SDI
Our message: “Go Beyond INSPIRE”
The Team
Centre for Ecology and Hydrology The UK’s centre of excellence for integrated research in terrestrial and
freshwater ecosystems and their interaction with the atmosphere Major custodian of Environmental Data. 20 million records covering:
12,000 species across Britain and Ireland 50,000 station years of river flow from 1,300 gauging stations
Esri (UK), part of the global Esri network providing market leading GIS and SDI solutions
con terra, Esri (UK) Business Partner providing solutions for building SDIs with a strong focus on spatial standards

The Countryside Survey
Challenge To reduce the time required for the publication of its field-based survey
results by 50%
Benefits of GIS solution Digitally mapped 591 separate
1km2 plots Reduced data capture time
from months to days Efficiency savings of over £700,000
on this survey alone Case Study available

The Challenge Make CEH’s data more accessible to the public and easier to share
within the scientific community INSPIRE and NERC Science Strategy
More joined up working Cross-discipline access to data

Organisation & Culture
Addressing the scientific data sharing culture Different levels of data sharing throughout the community “My data” Gain buy-in through workshops Data sharing linked to citations
Data Management Plan Projects now have to have a Data Management Plan CEH is learning future data management requirements

Benefits
Better view of CEH’s data for external stakeholders and internal management
Automated approach to metadata and data management Developing a Data Curation Approach across NERC Reducing ingestion and curation costs (currently 37% of Data Centre
costs) Seamless integration with data.gov.uk UK GEMINI 2.1 compliance Going beyond INSPIRE compliance

Delivering ROI or Cost:Benefit ratio of 1:4 is reasonable,
achievable and defensible

Lessons Learnt
INSPIRE is not a spectator sport Success is measured by how you deal with organisational and cultural
issues Technology and standards are always going to be moving Go beyond INSPIRE – its more than a compliance exercise
