  3. NI GI Strategy Vision We will improve services and thereby develop the economy, the environment, and the society of Northern Ireland by placing information about location at everyone’s fingertips and supporting the development of sufficient skills and knowledge to exploit this information.

  4. The current state….

  5. Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)

  6. INSPIRE The aim of the INSPIRE Directive is to create a European Spatial Data Infrastructure that will improve the sharing of spatial information between public authorities and improve accessibility to the public. This will allow the EC and Member States to design and deliver better environmental policies that will result in improved environmental outcomes. INSPIRE will improve the quality of spatial information and enable information from different sources to be more easily combined.

  7. The EU INSPIRE Regulations requiremember states to: • Comply with 34 data specifications • Provide catalogues for discovery services that allow users to identify what information is available & evaluate it (metadata) • Provide online services such asview & download • Provide transformation services – co-ordinate & schema • Have licensing arrangements that allow information to be shared, accessed and used • Set up e-commerce arrangements where charging is applicable • Introduce monitoring mechanisms 7

  8. LPS Role • Co-ordinating INSPIRE in Northern Ireland • Guidance from DEFRA & Europe • Promotion of good practice • Providing technical infrastructure to allow Northern Ireland to meet INSPIRE requirements • Management of INSPIRE portal • Licensing and rights management

  9. INSPIRE Themes 53 datasets from 11 organisations 9

  10. Spatial NI™

  11. UK & EU linkages

  12. Publish Annex I INSPIRE compliant data Initial view services available for Annex I & II Datasets Newly Collected Annex I datasets compliant to INSPIRE specifications Publish Annex II & III INSPIRE compliant data June 2017 May 2019 Download services for Annex I & II Datasets May 2011 June 2012 Download services for Annex III datasets INSPIRE timeline INSPIRE compliant view services available for Annex I & II datasets View services available for Annex III datasets Newly Collected Annex II & III Datasets compliant to INSPIRE specifications Metadata available for Annex I & II Datasets Metadata available for Annex III datasets November 2011 December 2013 January 2015 December 2010 12

  13. Objectives of Spatial NI to meet the requirements of the INSPIRE Directive to unlock spatial data in organisations and government to make government spatial data available to citizens and the private sector to assist in policy making in Northern Ireland government – better data = better decision making to eliminate duplicated effort in capturing and maintaining spatial data to increase demand for public sector spatial data to facilitate the sharing of spatial data across government to provide a platform for the development of GI applications within and beyond Northern Ireland

  18. Technical benefits • Ability to share data through use of common technical standards • Flexibility of delivery of data formats • Simpler and faster to find and access data • Reduces need to store large volumes of data onsite • Increased integration through transformation • Improved information management – data currency and flowlines • Simplified licensing driving increased use

  19. Policy benefits…. • Providing data for identifying potential innovation & growth areas • Increased range of data available for analysis • Increased quality of data available – through feedback on datasets • Interoperable cross-border data available for decision making in border regions • Free GI tools to aid policy decisions

  20. What overall benefits do we expect? • More access to government information – through discovery services • Potentially wider reuse of NI data through UK and European portals • Promoting reuse of government data • Reducing duplication of data – collect once use many times • Assist in driving better quality data by initially having to expose bad quality data and then transform to INSPIRE standards – data and metadata • Better quality data – better decisions • Reduced cost to LPS of delivering data – reduced cost of organisations having to hold all LPS data • Increased currency of data – always coming from the one most recent source of the data • Consistent cross border datasets of huge significance to NI in policy decision making • Provision of GI functionality at no cost to user • Delivering more for less
