INSPIRE Monitoring 2020

03 February 2021

Amendments introduced by Regulation (EU) 2019/1010 of 5 June 2019 and Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1372 on monitoring and reporting have changed the monitoring and reporting procedures for INSPIRE.
Monitoring has now been migrated to an automated procedure, i.e. key figures will be calculated automatically on the basis of metadata for data and services. The changes made aim to simplify monitoring and reporting, while achieving improved comparability and lessening the administrative effort that is required to prepare reports.

Further details can be found here.

The results of 2020 INSPIRE monitoring have been published on the INSPIRE Geoportal.

Relaunch of Geoportal Saarland

29 June 2020

As the information and interaction platform for Saarland’s spatial data infrastructure (GDI-SL), Geoportal Saarland provides centralised and uniform online access to the spatial data and maps available in Saarland. Launched in 2010, the system has since undergone a process of continuous improvement to meet changing requirements. Created by a developer community consisting of the GDI Coordinating Units in Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, the system is based on free and open source software. The system is networked with various other portals via interfaces and therefore represents a core component of Saarland’s e-government activities. To ensure the long-term operation of this important application as well as the security of the personal data of platform users, a project to revise the underlying software and to modernise the user interface was started at the end of 2018. Since the Geoportal networks national (German) and European data together, this has been made possible only by the systematic implementation of European standards.

Relaunch press release 07/2020

What’s new?
Alongside a more modern layout, the data and metadata search is also more user-friendly, since the intermediate step via ‘Interactive data’ has now been removed. Another highlight is an integrated search for data in Germany’s spatial data catalogue and the data catalogue from the EU Commission. In addition, a more advanced map viewer can also be used, alongside the ‘traditional’ viewer.

GDI-DE publishes position paper on OZG

29 April 2020

In early March, the Management Board and GDI-DE Steering Committee published a position paper entitled ‘Accounting for spatial data and spatial data infrastructures as part of implementing the Online Access Act (OZG)’.
One service provided by GDI-DE is advising on spatial information as a crosscutting issue, in order to ensure its potential value is realised in specific applications. Using examples from practice where relevant, the paper explains why spatial data represents a key resource for national e-government and why spatial data infrastructures equally offer added value for public administrations.
