The Methodological Framework for the Integration of National and Pan-european Spatial Data Infrastructures (inspire)
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Today, the state policy continues to be implemented with the aim of integration into the European space in all areas of activity, including the national geospatial data infrastructure (hereinafter – NSDI). This necessitates the study of methods and tools for integrating geodata of INSPIRE and NSDI. This article analyzes the provisions of Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a Spatial Information Infrastructure in the European Community (hereinafter – INSPIRE Directive) and its annexes, as well as the Implementing Rules on geospatial data, metadata and services for their compliance with the current legislation of Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for integrating national and European geospatial data infrastructures for further customization of geoinformation interaction between these two integrated systems. The scientific novelty lies in the analysis of methods, environment, tools and technologies for developing a methodology for data integration and further development of a roadmap for INSPIRE implementation in Ukraine. The practical significance of the research results is the use of the data integration methodology to implement the provisions of the INSPIRE Directive in Ukraine, including the creation of geospatial data sets and geographic information services defined by the INSPIRE Directive. Therefore, the methodology for integrating national and European geospatial data infrastructures (INSPIRE) is developed taking into account the levels of interoperability. To monitor its implementation, it is necessary to develop a roadmap for INSPIRE implementation based on the IGIF methodology, as it has a sufficient number of indicators that allow for prompt monitoring of the plan. Alignment with the INSPIRE legal framework and finalization of the national legislation on NSDI will help to eliminate gaps and implement the provisions of INSPIRE in Ukraine. Rules for monitoring and reporting on the NSDI functioning should be developed and made available to the public.
