INSPIRE Principle:Accessing, exchanging and delivering spatial data
INSPIRE PRINCIPLES HOW WE IMPLEMENT THEM Spatial data should be stored, made available
and maintained at the most appropriate level (avoid duplicates).
Central EU Access: http://eusoils.jrc.it for Pan-European data relevant for European Policies (framework directives)
It must be possible to combine spatial data from different sources across the EU seamlessly and share them between several users and applications.
Common WRB classification, common projection system (LAEA/ETRS89), harmonization of SMU limits with agreed base map (EuroGeographics)
It must be possible for spatial data collected at one level of public authority to be shared between all levels of public authorities.
Bottom-up approach and GRID approach to allow national/regional/local levels to update higher levels by generalization
Spatial data needed for good governance should be available under conditions that do not restrict their extensive use.
Access to environmental data of interest to citizen (Public Sector Information Directive) through easy download respecting ownership and property rights
It should be easy to discover available spatial data, evaluate their fitness for purpose and know the conditions applicable to their use.
Metadata about data (ISO 19115)
Query tools as the ones available in EU GEO Portal
Intends to trigger the creation of a European spatial information infrastructure that delivers to the users integrated spatial information services

Distribution version 2 is under construction
Full Database documentation will be available in the Soil Portal:
• Metadata• Database Dictionaries• Attributes coding• Only the Raw data will not be
distributed

Projects(1): Development of Prototype
European 10k x 10k raster derived from the 1:1,000,000 ESDB data
Question: How those grids can be updated?
A proposed 1st step(methodology): • Regional data providers would
send data in raster format (participatory approach) to JRC
• JRC would then integrate the regional data in updated European rasters.
Is it according to INSPIRE principles? Example: WRB_LV1
Soil reference group code (WRB)
14
SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004
10k x 10k raster derived from the Italian Eco-pedological map (scale 1:250.000)
Data are more accurate and detailed
The 1k x 1k raster Grid is even more accurate(the images can be compared)
JRC identifies Regions in Europe where this prototype can be developed! Example: RIF_S1
Soil reference group code(WRB)?

ALPINE CONVENTION
FranceSwitzerlandGermanyItalyLiechtensteinAustriaSloveniaEuropean Communities
Soil protection is one of the main issues that has been put forward by the Alpine Convention (signed also a Soil Protection Protocol in 1998)The Soil Protection Protocol of the Alpine Convention promotes cooperation among member states, particularly in setting up soil databases

ECALP Project ECopedological map of ALPs
Create a useful network among regional and national institutions which own and manage soil data
Exchange of knowledge and experience among different regions, different countries
Achieve the setting up and updating of a shared soil database for the Alps
Use of participatory approach, according to the principles of the INSPIRE
Exchange of harmonised soil informationDevelop common procedures to allow data exchange, updating
and evaluation for some application purposesGive an overview of available information on alpine soils

ECALP Project (Activities)
Choice of pilot areas, one for each partner, within the territory of the Alpine Convention, according to their relevance with respect to soil related issues
AUSTRIAITALY (Regions: Lombardia, Friuli Venezia-Giulia, Veneto, Piemonte)FRANCE (Region: Rhône-Alpes)SLOVENIASWITZERLAND
Definition of a common format for data exchange
Testing of the exchange format in sample areas
Filling in the exchange format and updating
Working out a first draft of “Ecopedological Map of the Alps” by means of available harmonised data (European Soil Database at scale 1:1.000.000, Ecopedological Map of Italy 1:250.000 scale).
State of the art of the project and related documents are available at the net (http://eusoils.jrc.it/projects/alpsis/MainAlpine.html).

SPATIAL DATA FORMAT Elementary mapping units: pixel format
Standard European reference grid is used, according to INSPIRE principles • All rasters should be produced according to to the nested grid
system proposed for the European reference Grid (1k, 10k, 100k…)
• Co-ordinate system (ETRS_LAEA)
Integrated with other environmental and territorial information
Pixel size has been set to 1 km for pilot areas and 10 km for the entire alpine territory
Use of unique labelling of grid cells
The data values provided by the Italian raster should match classes/instructions imposed by the European level
How often the data will be updated?

Regular Grids VS Soil Maps
Disadvantages of polygon approach:• Higher Complexity of description• Many data requirements • Harmonization is needed• Different semantic definitions• Resource Consuming
Advantages of pixel approach.Pixel can:• easy to be filled and updated• useful to support a multi-scale approach
(bottom-up)• suitable to represent output data for
environmental reporting (policy relevant information, indicators)
• easy to be integrated with other environmental indicators on different layers.
