Reference Information Specifications for Europe Overview Presentation to HACPB 3 Wyn Cudlip (Qineti. Q) and others RISE Participants wcudlip@qinetiq. com www. eu-rise. org

Project goals • To define a methodology and guidelines for the creation of geospatial Data Product Specifications (DPS), consistent with international and industrial standards. • To test the methodology by creating harmonised DPS for Hydrography, Land. Cover and Elevation; as input datasets to diffuse nutrient leakage modelling for the Water Framework Directive (WFD). • To test the DPS in an on-line “Test Environment” with data from a test area (Sweden & Norway). • To demonstrate the automatic creation of h. DPs from existing databases Presentation to HACPB 3, Brussels, 6 th June, 2007. V 1. 0 2

Approach Prototype Testing Data Product Specification Requirements Application schema (GML) Conceptual schema (UML) Use Cases Cost benefit Exploitation guidelines RISE Methodology Presentation to HACPB 3, Brussels, 6 th June, 2007. V 1. 0 6

Key Steps in the development of “harmonised” Data Product Specification Use Case Development • Analyse Use Case • Develop Conceptual Schema (in UML) • Including Feature Type Catalogue and Data Dictionary update • Develop GML Application Schema • this can be automated • Requirements and Feature Types Identification Data Dictionary Update e. g. , UGAS, UML to GML conversion tool • Define harmonised Data Product Specification • Data Products created from existing data • Goal: to create “on the fly” with suitable server software DPS and App Schema Development Presentation to HACPB 3, Brussels, 6 th June, 2007. V 1. 0 Implementation, testing and validation 7

Use Case Development Checklist for data Harmonisation requirements Supporting components: feature data dictionary, CRS registry, etc. Checklist addresses steps to data harmonisation Presentation to HACPB 3, Brussels, 6 th June, 2007. V 1. 0 Requirements As-is analysis Gap analysis Requirements and Feature Types Identification Data Product Specification App Schema Development Implementation, testing and validation(using WFS) validation 8

Key assumptions • A Data Specification is based on a data product specification (DPS) according to ISO 19131. Such a DPS includes the following sections: Mandatory: • Overview • Specification scopes • Data product identification • Data content and structure • Reference systems • Data quality • Data product delivery • Metadata Optional: • Data capture • Data maintenance • Portrayal • Additional information • RISE harmonisation is concerned with more than just data content and structure.

External Reviewer Comments • Concern regarding directions of the project and the possible approaches towards redirecting the projects towards it’s initial target: … “methodology and guidelines for the creation of implementation specifications” • Recommendations: The Project should: • …jointly review the process / flow of documents leading to the specification…. • Clarify how the current standards may be exploited / extended to include the necessary specification information for either an “outside producer” or an automated procedure. • Update the Deliverables according to the findings / comments. Presentation to HACPB 3, Brussels, 6 th June, 2007. V 1. 0 16

RISE Response to Reviewer Comments • RISE activity is and always has been directed towards developing a “methodology and guidelines for the creation of implementation specifications” • The RISE-generated Data Product Specifications have been created for RISE test purposes and are not intended to have broader application without additional development. • Given the reviewers comments, RISE agrees that there is scope to revise some of the documents in order to clarify their scope and content and the improve their usability. • Further discussion with the Reviewer is proposed to clarify the issues. Presentation to HACPB 3, Brussels, 6 th June, 2007. V 1. 0 17

Conclusion • RISE has been able to follow the original proposal workplan without any major changes. • The Test Environment Development and testing of the Data Product Specifications is behind the original schedule but it is still possible to complete the project as scheduled • (subject to satisfactorily addressing the External Reviewers Comments) • Final Deliverables to include: • • Revised Methodology and Guidelines Document (inc. lessons learnt) • • Revised Use Case Document Final Data Product Specifications (+ revised UML & GML if necessary) And: • RISE Test Environment Document • Cost Benefit Analysis Report • Exploitation Guidelines Presentation to HACPB 3, Brussels, 6 th June, 2007.
