B.C. Kok, M. Reuvers
Amersfoort, The Netherlands
The presentation is concentrated on the way in which we are organizing the design, implementation and
execution of the INSPIRE process in the Netherlands.
In our Strategic plan and our Action Plan for 2006 we our working on:
� the implementation of the general Dutch GI standards
� the specific GI standards in the several sectors in the public domain
� on the development and maintenance of meta standards and web services
� on innovation of standards in the international context and the Dutch administration
� the design of a cross border knowledge centre with Nord Rhein Westphalia
� INSPIRE drafting team activities focussing on standardization
� Preparatory actions on the design of a central INSPIRE portal
These actions have been started in the beginning of the year 2004. In our presentation we give an overview
which results have been made and how we are organizing the communication with our stake holders resulting
in a broad national support and consensus for the INSPIRE process
Our second action line is focussed on our advising role for the central government in the priorities which have
to be taken in the INSPIRE process on national and international level as well.
Both of these action lines are of vital importance for the right adjustment between the activities on technical
and professional GI level and the decision makers which are responsible for the GI policy in the coming years.
The third action line is the way in which we are organizing the communication process with the producers of
the main core data sets which are of vital importance of the European Spatial data infrastructure and how the
communication with these producers is organized in the coming years.
