The Swedish view as an introduction. It was a common understanding that it is important to send the action plan that Commission has requested since we are in a process of a EU pilot.

09:00-09:15 | Summing up what was discussed/agreed the previous day | Knowledge exchange | Eydís | |
09:15-09:30 | Outcome and hot issues from the INSPIRE-conference 2018
|
Discussions about where are we now in the implementation recording to the conference.
Some reflections; Inspire is more than a environment directive, maybe it is time to move the responsibility to another DG? Even if one person stated that Inspire is about harmonisation, the common view is that Inspire is about access. One example of that was the extra meeting about commercial search engines. Tools developed by JRC are now much more matured and should be used. |

10:35-10:50 | General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) | The law has come into force since the last meeting. What has changed?

Knowledge exchange on best practices on the use of Universally Unique Identifiers.
Morten will organize a webinar for further discussions on these topics. Each country needs to provide contact person, a presenter /contact person. This would be for a Skype meeting on the subject that will be held by the end of the year. |
Morten | |
10:55-11:35 | Metadata administration system in DK | Goal: To bring the writing and maintenance of the metadata closer to data/data providers. Automatic transfer of information from data to metadata. Metadata for services is not included, but maybe this is not relevant anymore due to new EU Inspire instructions.
To have a better technical solution for the Warehouse. Raise the quality of data. How to handle ID is based on recommendations from ISA2. |

13:00-13:45 | INSPIRE MIG work – status and outcome
|
Status regarding ongoing MIG activities;
Thematic clusters – there are plan to look further into more cross cutting issues. TC platform was established for data specification issues, now it might be converted to a general discussion platform.
Geoportal advisory board has been (will be?) established.
It is delayed but it is coming from JRC. Will cover the use of data as well
It is just in the beginning face and early in the process but in mid sept I was a bid on assisting company. DK and NO participate in the work. Agreement on focusing on generic rules, but theme specific rules may also be considered. Focus on GeoJSON.
Qgis is working to improve their client
FI and SE is participation in the work, but we had no news.
Has already been discussed, see above.
Has already been discussed, see above.
Ongoing process in OGS and ISO. Jari is working on an discussion paper that is planned to be ready by the end of this month.
Has already been discussed, see above.
Only those issues which are considered important for a “high level” discussion should be elaborated. This actionlist should be kept on future NIN meetings agenda |
Arvid, Morten, (anyone who participates in MIG-T) | |
13:45-14:25 | INSPIRE in eGovernment, presentation of the work in ISA Geospatial solutions | Spatial information is of vital interest for eGovernment in Europe and INSPIRE is essential in making spatial data available for the public.
Status from the work in ISA2 Geospatial solution and SEMIC 2018. ELISE – European location Interoperability Solutions for E-government. Action supported by ISA2. ELISA is driven by JRC. For valuable information see web site; https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/elise-european-location-interoperability-solutions-e-government
eGovernment in general and the SEMIC conference – introduced by Morten.
We agreed that this topic should also be included in our coming meetings, and that we will benefit from a Nordic cooperation on eGovernment. One example on this is “standardized” modeling rules for eGovernment, as proposed by Denmark for the ISA committee, but not yet approved. |
Ulla, Morten | |
14:25-14:40 | Use of INSPIRE data both nationally and in Europe | INSPIRE KEN is organizing a workshop in the end of November on the use of INSPIRE data and potential barriers doing so. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any such experience from Norway. What about the other Nordic countries? How do we “sell” INSPIRE nationally?
We discussed the definition of “Inspire data”, some use the term for data that is harmonised according to Inspire specification, other use the same term for data that is include in the 34 themes, regardless if they are harmonised or not. It is important to be aware of the difference in discussions. |
Morten | |
14:40-14:45 | NOISIN | We continue to invite national NOSIN members to our coming meetings. If we have a specific task that we would like to have their technical support on, it should be well described. Currently we have no specific task. | ||
Next meeting | The next NIN meeting | Next Nordic INSPIRE meeting will be held in Finland. A doodle will be set up to agree on dates. |
