EU requirements for land administration information
Kok, Bas
The INSPIRE initiatives are of crucial importance for the geo sector in Europe. They are of leading importance for the Spatial Data Infrastructures in the EU countries. The target of INSPIRE is the creation of a Spatial Data Infrastructure in Europe. This means in SDI terms the relevant base collection of technologies, policies and institutional arrangements that facilitate the availability of and access to spatial data. Basis principles are: the data should be collected once, to combine data from different sources, collect data at one level and share at all levels and easy to discover which data are available and improve knowledge about the conditions for use. This INSPIRE initiative defines the main EU requirements for Land Administration Information in the EU countries. The proposed Directive creates regulation for the establishment and operation of an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe, for the purpose of formulating, implementing, monitoring and evaluating Community policy-making and implementation of Community policies in the Member-States at all levels and providing public information. INSPIRE focuses on environmental policy, but is open for use by and future extension to other sectors such as agriculture, transport and energy. This infrastructure shall be based on infrastructures for spatial information established and operated by the EU Member States.
