iGEO geoportal is a GeoServer-based set of web services allowing Bosnia-Herzegovinian local municipalities, government agencies and utility infrastructure organizations access to the most precise base map data. Particular attention is paid to the role of the iGEO portal in this process. The geoportal is modeled after the European Union's Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE) directive to share geographic information across Europe. INSPIRE addresses 34 key spatial data themes organized in three groups (or Annexes to the Directive), reflecting the different levels of harmonization expected and staged phasing. Annexes I and II focus on reference data, while Annex III focuses on data for environmental analysis and impact assessment.

DEVELOPMENT OF SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE
BASED ON INSPIRE DIRECTIVE – CASE STUDY OF iGEO
PORTAL

2. INTRODUCTION
1.
WHAT IS INSPIRE?
• Geo-information experts of the European
Commission, the European Environmental
Agency, and the environmental and national
mapping bodies of Member States elaborated a
proposal for European directive in 2005-06, to
establish an European SDI. The proposal was
named as Spatial Information in the European
Community, shortly as INSPIRE.
• INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council, published in the
official Journal on the 25th April 2007.

3. INTRODUCTION
1.
Levels of spatial data infrastructure:
• ISO 19100 series of standards was adopted in
INSPIRE as technical base.

4. INTRODUCTION
1. • Particular attention is paid to the role of the iGEO
portal in this process. The geoportal is modeled
after the European Union's Infrastructure for
Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE)
directive to share geographic information across
Europe.
• INSPIRE addresses 34 key spatial data themes
organized in three groups (or Annexes to the
Directive), reflecting the different levels of
harmonization expected and staged phasing.
Annexes I and II focus on reference data, while
Annex III focuses on data for environmental
analysis and impact assessment.

5. INSPIRE GEOPORTAL
2.
• The deadline for member states to provide
discovery and view services in operational mode,
according to the INSPIRE regulation on network
services was November data sets and services.

3.
• Access to countrywide geographic data through
an on-line geoportal named “iGEO”.

4.
• Technically, iGEO geoportal is a GeoServer-based
set of web services allowing Bosnia-Herzegovinian
local municipalities, government agencies and utility
infrastructure organizations access to the most
precise base map data.

10. CONCLUSION
7.
• More and more spatial data within the framework of
INSPIRE become available throughout the EU.
• Complexity of the INSPIRE programme is certainly
innovative not only in relation to the development of
SDIs, but also more gene-rally to the formulation of
public policy at the European level.
• All eyes are now clearly focused on the MS. Their
experiences in implementing INSPIRE in the coming
period will be crucial to the planning and preparatory
activities already started for the review of the
INSPIRE Directive, which is due in 2014.

11. CONCLUSION
8.
• INSPIRE process has involved hundreds of experts and
professionals from all over the Europe.
• Registrated experts
