Abstract:
The “grass-root” of the INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC goes back to the 90ties, when
starting from the so-called CLINTON Order No 12906 in the year 1994. This was the beginning of the
foundation of OGC (OpenGIS Consortium in 1995, now called the Open Geospatial Consortium), as
well the start of GSDI (The Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Conferences, which actually has been
transformed into the GSDI Association). At the same time in 1995 the European Commission started
similar initiatives at Directorate III (Industry) and Directorate VIII (Environment) to support spatial
and environmental decision making in Europe of Regions.
A spatial GI discussion forum was created 1997 by EC/JRC-Ispra, the so-called EGIP-List
(European GeoInformation Policy). It ended up with intensive discussions on the vision, mission and
conception of the GI2000 Initiative as an integrated ESDI (European Spatial Data Infrastructure)
project, defacto ready for submission just after the 5th EC GI&GIS Workshop in Stresa/Italy in
summer 1999 but, unfortunately, it was cancelled in December 1999 in spite of urged demission of the
European Commission.
After revival of the GI2000 conception in Dublin 2002 and INSPIRE initial EC approval
in 2004, as well as the adoption of the new INSPIRE Directive later on in 2007, the geopolitical
decision process moved very slowly not only in European Member states, but also in Saxony. Finally,
the INSPIRE Data and Service Sharing Guidelines of the European COMMISSION REGULATION
No 268/2010 as of 29 March 2010 have been published at April 28th 2010. This Regulation is aiming
to introduce OPEN ACCESS conditions to spatial datasets, information services and thematical
applications (georesource using, environmental monitoring and regional planning) not only inside of
the EC institutions and agencies in order to give them the opportunity to harmonize and integrate
geodata supplied from all Member states in a standardized syntactic and semantic for environmental
and spatial planning processes, but as well for regional/cross-border organizations and local
communities.
GI2011 & AEBR-ES Seite 2
But, the main barriers and, as well important challenges are the INSPIRE semantic geodata
harmonization and geoservice integration of national GI infrastructures across the state borders !
These pre-conditions seem to be obviously from a cartographic viewpoint since GI2000
already (see Proceedings of GI2010-Symposium-DRESDEN, pp. 38-40) and therefore, have been the
main focus behind our NGO foundation of IGN e.V. (INNOVATION. Cross-border-Network)
Association in 2002/2003, as well as developing our GI2000 Strategy seminars, Awareness, Training
and Continuing Education Courses (about 400 GIS experts have been post-graduated in cooperation
with word-leading GIS providers like ESRI and INTERGRAPH etc.) and organizing of cross-border
GI2000 - GI2010 Symposia in Dresden/Saxony with special focus on Euregia in Northern Bohemia
(CZ), LowerSilesia (PL) and Saxonia (DE).
Therefore, this (to be planned remotely) presentation gives a selected overview on the very
few, only 6-8 still existing X-border-Geoportal initiatives, as well as X-SDI-Portal pilot projects
dealing with topographic, topologic and semantic interoperability, usability and sustainability of
re-using geodata, webservices and PLAN4ALL applications across local, regional and state borders
(see Proceedings of GI2010-Symposium-DRESDEN, pp.41-42) in order to informing and making the
community of nearly 200 European Border Regions aware of the PSI & INSPIRE challenges ahead.
Well-known X-border-SDI pilot examples of 200 ( ? ) European Border Regions to
be analyzed and presented, but limited by presentation time…
