Outlines

• Project information

• Work on CDDA and INSPIRE data model

• Next steps in the project

• Proposed project follow-up steps

INSPIRE Implementation RoadmapSpatial data sets:

Annex I: Protected sites NOV 2017

Annex III: Habitat and biotopes, Species distribution, Bio-geographical regions OCT 2020

Metadata: Should already be available

INSPIRE services: Discovery, view, download, transformation services should be available (data not yet conformant to IR-ISDSS)

http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/

• Thematic relationship:– National designated areas are provided in the CDDA priority

data flow and are related to the INSPIRE theme Protected sites

• To continue using harmonised data:– Guided process to keep harmonised data model in CDDA

reporting– Fulfilling INSPIRE Directive and CDDA reporting– Benefits from INSPIRE spatial data infrastructure and

interoperability in the reporting process and for other assessments

• Respecting time line (deadlines):– INSPIRE PS: 23.11.2017 (04.02.2018 code lists)– CDDA reporting obligation in 2018

Why CDDA priority data flow and INSPIRE

• CDDA data flow view 2015 – 2018:– CDDA reporting with INSPIRE implementation in 2018– Continue support to countries not implementing INSPIRE

Project scope

2015 2016 2017 2018

• Starting with the project:– Conceptual data model design based on the INSPIRE

specifications for the reporting of the Common Database on Designated Areas (CDDA)

– Keep CDDA consistent with WDPA– Compatibility: mapping from old CDDA data model to new

CDDA-INSPIRE data model

Project information

• Roadmap 2015 - 2016

I. Developing of new CDDA data model as extension of the INSPIRE Protected sites data model

5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2

II. Developing of the GML/XML schemas and validation with the INSPIRE GML/XML schemas

III. Test: providing data according to the new GML/XML schemas (+ final I and II phase)

IV. Report

• Partners:– EEA (IDM, NSS)– Eionet ETC/BD– External EEA consultancy service: Tracasa

• Other stakeholders:– Eionet, UNEP-WCMC, etc.

Data modelling approach

• Design approach to combine thematic and INSPIRE requirements

Thematic requirements

Extension to the INSPIRE Protected sites – CDDA Sites,

boundaries

Next steps in the project

• Discussion with Eionet on open questions found in the project

• Completing the data models (CDDA-INSPIRE, Designations)

• Developing GML schema according to the new data model (CDDA-INSPIRE PS)

• Providing test data in GML encoding (based on already provided deliveries and European CDDA data set)

• Presentation of outcomes to Eionet• Setting further cooperation with Eionet on CDDA

reporting (testing: data, service, tools, …)

• CDDA data flow view 2015 – 2018:– CDDA reporting with INSPIRE implementation in 2018– Continue support to countries not implementing INSPIRE

Proposed project follow-up steps

2015 2016 2017 2018

• Further activities:– Concept and design of the reporting workflow based on

INSPIRE infrastructure (metadata, data, services)– Cooperation with Eionet on data testing: providing national

data according to new data model– Reporting workflow and INSPIRE network services– Tools and operational testing for CDDA data flow– Evaluating reporting system, supporting transitional period for

reporting & support to countries not implementing INSPIRE
