The situation of Geological Spatial Information today:
the information puzzle

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 and its goals



14
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.
INSPIRE: What spatial information?



15
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

Towards the
Global Earth Observation System of

GEOSS


21
In February 2005 the 10-years implementation plan was appr
oved
It builds on and adds value to existing Earth observation syst
ems by coordinating their
efforts, addressing critical gaps,
supporting
their interoperability, sharing information,
r
eaching a common understanding of user
requirements an
d improving delivery of
information to users.
GEOSS Purpose
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 follow
ing 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;
 • 22
Understanding, monitoring, and conserving biodiversity.
GEOSS GOVERNANCE



23
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.
GEOSS and OneGEOLOGY


24
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
The Africa (ACP) – EU
Georesources Observation System
Initiative (AEGOS)
25
Why AEGOS?




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 development
26
AEGOS: issues to be addressed




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

AEGOS deliverables




28

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
AEGOS Implementation

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 20102011)
