Challenge: identify, access and use geographic information

• fragmentation• gaps in availability, duplication• data policy restrictions / pricing policies• lack of data harmonisation: standards, quality• lack of infrastructure• better coordination needed

INSPIRE PrinciplesINSPIRE Principles

• maintain data at the most effective level;

• share between all levels;

• combine seamlessly spatial data from different sources;

• use conditions not restrict extensive use;

• discover, evaluate, use data.

INSPIRE:

– INSPIRE geo-portal

– A network where you can search, view, download data sets, access to other services (transformation, invoke)

– Technical harmonisation and organisational aspects

Statistical unitsStatistical units

Units for dissemination or use of statistical information: areas, lines, points

Sub-grouping of administrative units – official administrative units – government management zones – blocks, census and statistical districts – civil security units – environmental reporting and management units – postal codes/ regions

No thematic information

Human health and safetyHuman health and safety

Geographical distribution of dominance of pathologies, information indicating the effect on health or well-being of humans linked directly or indirectly to the quality of the environment.

Description• distribution of diseases, health & safety qualities • causes and elements affecting health • wellbeing of humans • safety issues• health care services

1818
