What is EuroGeographics?
• A not-for profit international association under Belgium law (AISBL)
• 56 national mapping, land registry and cadastral agencies in 45 European Countries
• Working to bring interoperable European geospatial reference data for the benefit of society
• A distributed head-office of 10 people
• Experience in making interoperable datasets for 20 years

And the latest version (2012)….

We have delivered ESDIN project succesfully 2008-2011
• It received excellect results from the Commission reviewers
• It won a GeoSpatial World Policy Award for the exemplary implementation of Geospatial policies and programmes (April 2012)

Understand your users’ needs!
• In ESDIN we found important to understand the users’ process• This understanding is best achieved by involving users to the
project
What we have learnt in ESDIN…

Cross-border interoperability requires agreements with many partners• Data Policy is a key issue• A harmoninized policy is a
dream that can not be achieved
• Modular approach to handling licenses -> GeoProduct Finder
• Resolve first policy then technical issues will be resolved
• Consider legal basis

Think big start small
• You will have to win various stakeholders; the most difficult ones might be your partners
• Make useful demonstrations• Communication is a
challenge – make videos• SCRUM methodology
worked in developement of code!
• Management is a key thing; make sure you have the right resources for the project and enough resources!

Technology
• Fully decentraliced solution (based on WFS) does not work, need to have cache
• GeoRightsManagement solutions do not work -> federated approach works (JRC has confirmed this)
• Open Source vs Industrial strenght solutions -> both should be considered; some ESDIN results base on propriety solutions some on open source
• ESDIN Tech Architecture paper is a good basis
• Solutions for UIDs, quality, edge-matching and generalization provided
• Ultimately transformations are not the solution -> harmonized specs needed for reference data

Why we need the European Location Framework
Today-Access to NSDI data is mostly national
-Only global players provide easy access to geographic data
-NSDI data is not used for the European policy decision making
-use of INSPIRE data services is ?
-common tools not co-ordinated (Quality, Generalization, Edge-matching, Change management, Visualization)
After - Access possible for
National, European and Global use (E.L.F platform)
- SME applications easy to connect
- NSDI data is used for European policy decision making
- INSPIRE services utilized
- Common tools (in the cloud)

BASED ON BEST PRACTICES OF NATIONAL MAPPING AND CADASTRAL AGENCIES, INDUSTRY AND ACADEMIA

The European Location Framework is a technical infrastructure which delivers authoritative, interoperable, cross-border geospatial reference data for analysing and understanding information connected to places and features
EU Location Framework will provide the political/policy context to the E.L.F

It is for EUROPE – JOINING NATIONAL GEOINFORMATION TOGETHER

IT IS LOCATION – WHERE THINGS ARE?
Locating and geocoding through coordinates, geographical names and addresses (Geolocator)Unique Indetifying of the geographical objects, Linked Data
