4 Requirements IR M&R The report should attempt to estimate the costs and to provide examples of benefits as described in the Implementing Rules ( ) directly attributable to the implementation of the Directive ( ) These costs could be subdivided by topic such as metadata, data harmonisation, network services, monitoring and reporting, and coordination and horizontal measures ( ) Positive effects on policy, examples of improved services to the citizen as well as examples of cross-border cooperation

5 Outline Requirements of the Implementing Rules for M&R Lessons learnt from the INSPIRE SoP Way forward Conclusions

6 INSPIRE SoP Early Impact studies in countries (2009) Examples developed in CZ, FI, PL, UK Poland analyzed by a team appointed by the Surveyor General of Poland influence on the state budget for INSPIRE specific tasks additional burden on the state budget reduced need for collecting the same reference data repeatedly, construction of maintenance of duplicating IT systems, efficient monitoring of the environment, implementation of policies concerning environmental protection, protection of citizens, crisis management, execution of trans-european projects simplify the flow of information increase of competitiveness of the economy increasing the number of jobs

7 INSPIRE SoP

8 INSPIRE SoP Detailed survey on use and usability (2011) Qualitative assessment Can you describe two examples of business processes in which components of the INSPIRE & NSDI are used? What are the benefits of the infrastructure from the perspective of G2G, G2C and G2B? What are the improvements that can be made to the infrastructure? Use of a WMS in the River Information System (RIS) "X-border GDI" offering access to spatial and related data on industrial and commercial parcels using web services

9 INSPIRE SoP Assessment of the gains for G2G, G2B, G2C Efficiency Effectiveness & quality Flexibility Innovation Sustainability Client friendliness G2G G2C G2B Openness & transparency Integrity and trust No answer

10 INSPIRE SoP Gains in time for searching and accessing the necessary spatial data and in consequence improve the efficiency of the processes Access to the latest data and complete metadata allows users to use the right data Flexibility is said to increase because so many different types of users can make use of the same infrastructure Contributes to openness & transparency since open to the public through the services Improved integrity and trust also because the infrastructure is improved continuously

11 INSPIRE SoP Particular examples from countries BG: establishment of efficient transportation schemes for public transport and therefore also help reducing air pollution CH: inventory of historic transport routes of national and regional importance by using a thematic geoportal without (+2 million ) CZ, NO: integration of the SDI components in the systems and in decision making processes (CZ: Building Act) DE: planning of surface mining, promotion of renewable energy and information service on flood-prone areas NL: Due to the BAG Building and Address Registry - Citizens only provide information once; information is re-used by different public authorities; prevents fraud and raises tax revenues How?

12 Outline Requirements of the Implementing Rules for M&R Lessons learnt from the INSPIRE SoP Way Forward Conclusions

13 The way forward Estimate the costs of implementation and maintenance Estimates Quantitative Qualitative approach based on good examples Many questions remain need to be resolved How to select good examples? What is the level of granularity? How to describe the examples? How to make estimates of gains/benefits? How to know and explain these are due to INSPIRE implementation? [The attribution question]

14 The way forward How to select good examples? Granularity? Linked to real G2G, G2B or G2C work processes Environmental monitoring process is too broad Use cases for the use of specific INSPIRE components is too narrow Process that is Real and recognisable Which is relevant for policy making and/or society In which use and/or production of spatial data is highly relevant Involves several data producers and users with the context of the process Includes different (sub-)activities Organised in one or more Input-Throughput-Output sequences

15 The way forward How to describe the examples? Quantify gains/benefits Description of the process should be precise (abstract) The organisations involved The major data flows The sequences of Input-Throughput-Output should be described clearly What (spatial) data are needed? What is done with the data? What is resulting from the process? The bottlenecks in the process Where do the data flows not work? Where were they improved due to the use of INSPIRE components? Quantify where possible throughput time, resources needed Explain how INSPIRE (components) made the difference / improved the flows + how it improves the processes

16 Analysing business processes

17 Parcel data flows

18 Towards a quantitative framework Business Process Management Research Managing Business Process Flows (Anupindi et al., 2006) Methods for improving the performance of processes Lean thinking > Reduce lead time in the flow Six Sigma > Find bottlenecks Theory of Constraints > Find bottlenecks Focus of this research is on production processes per se But can also be used in the context of data production and use Key is the flow of the data/information throughout the process chain

19 Towards a quantitative framework Startpoint of the method: pairs of spatial data producers and users Process in which spatial data are produced Process in which spatial data are used I T O I T O P1 P2 P3 P4 S1 S2 S3 S1: ISO series S2: OGC standards S3: OGC standards P1: Production P2: Distribution P3: Access P4: Use

20 Towards a quantitative framework Performance indicators in the context of production processes Flow time - often referred to as lead time or throughput time Flow rate number of flow units going through a particular point in the process Inventory - capturing the degree to which products are buffered (and sometimes are stuck) Performance indicators in the context of spatial data flows (P1.. P4) Human resources needed Flow time Inventory dynamics

21 Towards a quantitative framework Search for 8 test-pairs Variable application of GIstandards at producers / providers level Variable consumption of GIstandards at user level Challenge Comparability organisations Keep other factors constant! Complexity of data usage Complexity of processes Test on organisations within existing SDI s

22 Towards a quantitative framework Steps in the research Analyzing the state of the art of performance measurement in the context of work processes Defining SMART indicators for describing the set-up and measure the performance Design of the test case set-up and selection of the test cases, i.e. the organizational pairs Developing tools and guidelines for measuring performance and describing standards set-ups Train the people of the selected organizations and follow-up of the tests Analyzing and discussing the results of the testing with the organizations involved

23 Outline Requirements of the Implementing Rules for M&R Lessons learnt from the INSPIRE SoP Way Forward Conclusions

24 Conclusions The INSPIRE Directive and its IR MR requires Qualitative descriptions of costs and benefits, mainly by example Efforts have been done by many countries Through initial impact assessments In the first report of 2010 and through specific surveys Details on how gains are generated are lacking The whole picture is missing; how are gains realized? Suggestion to seek for good / concrete work processes Describe in more detail some G2G, G2B, G2C processes In the long run Developing a quantitative approach to measure performance of work processes
