Una aproximación a la integración en Open Data de los recursos INSPIRE de la IDEE.

Este trabajo, «Una aproximación a Ia integración en Open Data de los recursos Inspire de Ia IDEE », tiene por objetivo el construir un puente entre las Infraestructuras de Datos Espaciales (IDE) y el mundo de los «datos abiertos » aprovechando el marco legal de la Reutilización de la Información del Sector Público (RISP). Tras analizar qué es RISP y en particular los datos abiertos, y cómo se implementa en distintas Administraciones, se estudian los requisitos técnicos y legales necesarios para construir el «traductor» que permita canalizar la información IDE en el portal central de reutilización de información español datos.gob.es, dando una mayor visibilidad a los recursos INSPIRE. El trabajo se centra específicamente en dos puntos: en primer lugar en proporcionar y documentar la solución técnica que sirva en primera instancia para que el Instituto Geográfico Nacional aporte con más eficiencia sus recursos a datos.gob.es. En segundo lugar, a estudiar la aplicabilidad de esta misma solución al ámbito de la IDE de España (IDEE), señalando problemas detectados en el análisis de su contenido y sugiriendo recomendaciones para minimizar los problemas de su potencial reutilización. ABSTRACT: This work titled «Analysis of the integration of INSPIRE resources coming from Spanish Spatial Data Infrastructure within the National Public Sector Information portal», aims to build a bridge between the Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI ) and the world of "Open Data" taking advantage of the legal framework on the Re-use of Public Sector Information (PSI) . After analyzing what PSI reuse and Open Data is and how it is implemented by different administrations, a study to extract the technical and legal requirements is done to build the "translator" that will allow adding SDI resources within the Spanish portal for the PSI reuse data .gob.es while giving greater visibility to INSPIRE. This document specifically focuses on two aspects: first to provide and document the technical solution that serves primarily for the National Geographic Institute to supply more efficiently its resources to datos.gob.es. Secondly, to study the applicability of the proposed solution to the whole Spanish SDI (IDEE), noting identified problems and suggesting recommendations to minimize problems of its potential reuse.

A data model for Cultural Heritage within INSPIRE.

Esta monografía presenta los fundamentos, contexto y detalles técnicos de un Esquema de Aplicación para la incorporación de datos espaciales relativos al patrimonio cultural en el marco definido por la directiva europea INSPIRE sobre información geográfica. Abstract: This monograph presents the background, context and technical details of an Application Schema for the inclusion of cultural heritage spatial data into the INSPIRE framework. Nowadays, INSPIRE provides the most relevant framework for the dissemination and exchange of geographical data, covering many different thematic fields, particularly relevant for envi-ronmental datasets. Although cultural heritage elements are partially addressed within INSPIRE, there is no specific documentation on how these data should be considered, structured and published. This text aims to provide technical guidelines for decision makers, public administrations and the scientific community for the definition and implementation of harmonized datasets for cultural heritage, according to the interoperability principles of INSPIRE.

Access to environmental information in an Open European Society - Directive 2003/4. Research Paper in Law 5/2003

[From the Introduction]. Information gives knowledge and knowledge gives power. Though in all EC Member States, the task to protect the environment is given to the administration, it is obvious that the administration is not the owner of the environment. The environment is everybody's. It is for this reason that administrative decisions which affect the environment must be transparent, open and must strike a balance between the general interest to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment on the one hand, the satisfying of specific private or public interests on the other hand. In order to allow at least a certain control of whether the administration strikes the right balance between the need to protect the environment and other legitimate or less legitimate needs, it appears normal and self-evident that information on the environment which is in the hands of public authorities, be also made available to the public and to citizens.
