Geosciences for global sustainable development
Multilingual Metadata:
- What ?-Where ?- Scale ?- Who ?- When ?- How ?- Format ?- Quality?- Access conditions ?- …
Meeting the challenge: develop interoperable spatial data sets, based on common data specifications, documented with metadata catalogues, with schematic interoperability

Geosciences for global sustainable development
In the long term: achieve, at least at small-scale, semantic and geometric interoperability and develop 3D models

INSPIRE is a European Directive that will enter into force in the coming weeks.
European Directives beeing superior to national law, EU Member States will have to transpose INSPIRE to their national legislation. They have two years to achieve this.
It sets legally binding rules for the establishment of the EU common, shared, distributed, multiligual, interoperable Infrastructure for Spatial Information together with the provision of services for the purposes of Community environmental policies and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment.
14
INSPIRE covers 35 Spatial Data Themes laid down in 3 Annexes
These themes are required to successfully build environmental information systems
Geology/ groundwater are given a high priority

It shall as a minimum entail the search for « data » based on:
(a) keywords; (b) classification of spatial data and services; (c) the quality and validity of spatial data sets; (d) geographical location; (e) conditions applying to the access to and use
of spatial data sets and services; (f) the public authorities responsible for the
establishment, management, maintenance

In February 2005 the 10-years implementation plan was approved
It builds on and adds value to existing Earth observation systems by coordinating their efforts, addressing critical gaps, supporting their interoperability, sharing information, reaching a common understanding of user requirements and improving delivery of information to users.
21
GEOSS will meet the need for timely, quality long-term global information as a basis for sound decision making, and will enhance delivery of benefits to society in the following initial areas:
Reducing loss of life and property from natural and human-induced disasters; Understanding environmental factors affecting human health and well-being; Improving management of energy resources; Understanding, assessing, predicting, mitigating, and adapting to climate
variability and change; Improving water resource management through better understanding of the
water cycle; Improving weather information, forecasting, and warning; Improving the management and protection of terrestrial, coastal, and marine
ecosystems; Supporting sustainable agriculture and combating desertification; • Understanding, monitoring, and conserving biodiversity.
22
GEOSS is steered by the Plenary Assembly of the Group on Earth Observation (GEO) Member Countries. Participating Organisations are observers, but intervene in the discussions
GEO has 4 co-chairs: China, European Commission, USA and South Africa. It has an Executive Committee of 12 Members (EU: Commission, Italy (APAT) and Germany)
The implementation of its Work Plan is steered by Standing Committees on Capacity Building, Data & Architecture, Science & Technology and User Interface Committees. There also is a Working Group on Tsunami Activities. EuroGeoSurveys is represented in all of these.
23
OneGeology as it develops, based on the outputs of the IUGS CGI work on multilingual thesauri and interoperability, could/ should be shown as a major contribution of the global geological community
Idea: propose to the EuroGeoSurveys General meeting that the EGS boot at the forthcoming GEO plenary and ministerial meeting in Capetown (November) displays OneGeology

Many Africa Caribbean Pacific (ACP) Group of States, and in particular in Africa, suffer from poverty and underdevelopment.
The sustainable use of natural resources is a key for the development of these countries and for the future of the world, requiring knowledge, based on data, information and expertise.
Resources issues will play an ever increasing role due to the growing world population, rapid urban development and demand for better infrastructure and services.
Availability, traceability, accessibility and user-oriented GIS based processing of heterogeneous data from multiple sources on these resources is essential to sustainable development26
Overcome the current dissemination of data assets and the hazards threatening some
Turn paper-based data assets into digital maps and information layers
Strengthen human and technical capacities necessary to turn data into information and expertise required by a wide-range of end-users
Addressing these issues is of importance to the geological community and for its visibility in international undertakings such as GEOSS
27
A shared, distributed, interoperable, open information system on geology and geological resources based on Internet technologies
Identification, cataloging, digitisation and georeferencing of existing public data
Provision of access, according to individual partners rules, to public digital data and information
Development of interoperable harmonised (at the level of schematic interoperability) digital layers at regional/ continental scales targeted at end-uses
Development of decision aiding systems for the sustainable use of georesources
Capacity building
28
Two phases: Phase I FP 7 Coordination Action (2 years, possible
start early 2008): develop the partnership network, agree on IPR issues, identify user requirements, define the interoperability arrangements and the architecture of the system, define its governance bodies, define and sign a project charter, identify the requirements (tasks, resources, organisation, milestones, deliverables) of the phase II. Proposal in preparation, to be submitted in May.
Phase II: Implementation (4 years, possible start in 2010-2011)
