The 5 reference data sets are reportedby EU Member States, Iceland, Norway and the UK under the Water Framework Directive*

* Switzerland submits equivalent datasetsunder the EIONET WISE State of Environment reporting

ProtectedArea

The Water Framework Directive Protected Areas* are also related to the WFD water bodies

* WFD Protected Areas are under the AM theme, not under the PS theme.

Which are the

Water Framework Directive reference data sets?

What is the status quoof the WFD reference data sets?

1. What is the status quo?

• The WFD reference data sets were already reported by EU Member States, Iceland, Norway and the UK. Equivalent data sets exist for Switzerland.

• Pan-European data sets have been created and are avaliable as downloadable files (shapefile and geopackage).

• Visualisation map services and map applicationsare also avaliable.

2.

• Which are the Water Framework Directive reference data sets?

• How to encode the data using an INSPIRE-compliant GML format?

• Understand the WFD data model

• Create a mapping to INSPIRE attributes

• Define some encoding principles for identifiers

How are the WFD data models?

Notice the encoding of the different types of identifiers: • gml:identifier• am:inspireID (where namespace and versionId had not been reported)

• am:thematicId

Notice the encoding of the relatedZone.

Notice the presence of additional INSPIRE attributes,e.g. environmentalDomain or legalBasis.

…as well as this presentation and additional material

• Download and explore the datasets.

• Enrich with additional information,if available.

• Or adopt the proposed encoding when publishing newer information.

• Or simply create the metadata and publish in the national Geoportal,so that it can be harvested and visible in the INSPIRE Geoportal.

• Contact us if you have any questionor suggestion.
