TDKEN webinar & on-line discussion on Generalisation and Harmonisation
2023-10-26 10:30 - 12:15
Through many years of experience in delivering pan-European datasets, EuroGeographics, its technical data production team and users, have identified technical challenges in producing seamless and harmonised datasets from official national sources. These challenges have been grouped into five main topic areas: generalisation, edge-matching, harmonisation, quality and life-cycle management.
We recently ran a survey asking your views on the five topic areas which are barriers to seamless pan-European data. The high-level results were presented at the TDKEN/SDQ 2023 meeting last week. We are now embarking on a series of on-line meetings to delve into the results of each of the topic area to identify the gaps and issues for each of the topic areas. And see how we can advance knowledge exchange and learnings in the topic areas.
We invited EuroGeographics members and external stakeholders to the first of these on-line meetings which looked at generalisation and harmonisation.
The agenda was as follows:
Agenda:
10:30 – Welcome to the meeting

Members Webinar Series: Empowering an Interoperable Europe
2023-11-10 11:00 - 12:40
Interoperability within the public sector is a crucial element in realising successful digital transformation. It is challenging to envision an integrated, digitally-driven public system without a seamless exchange of interoperable data.
Currently, the European Parliament and Council are scrutinising the Interoperable Europe Act Proposal, which introduces a strategic mechanism for fostering interoperability collaboration across the European Union.
This webinar, entitled “Empowering an Interoperable Europe”, featured a presentation by Andrea Halmos, deputy head of DG DIGIT’s Interoperability Unit that initiated the Act Proposal. Additionally, representatives from various National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies (NMCAs) shared their insights and contributions, focusing on topics related to interoperability.

The agenda of this webinar was as follows:
Welcome & Introduction – Angela Baker, EuroGeographics
• Andrea Halmos, Deputy Head of Interoperability Unit, DG DIGIT, the European Commission: “The Interoperable Europe Act – a key enabler of digital government transformation“
• Antti Jakobsson, Chief Engineer at the National Land Survey of Finland: “Creating Interoperability based on National Services using Data Spaces – example from GeoE3”
• Ana Velasco, Geodesy and Cartography Engineer at the National Geographic Institute of Spain: “Time flies at the digital library of historical aerial imagery of Spain“
• Ulla Kronborg Mazzoli, Chief Advisor for the Danish Agency for Data Supply and Infrastructure: “Spatial Data Infrastructure – the great enabler?“
• Q&A session via SLI.do & closing

Joint EuroGeographics and EuroSDR Virtual Workshop on Geodata Discovery
2024-01-16 13:30 - 2024-01-17 12:00
After a first successful edition in 2022, Eurogeographics and EuroSDR jointly organized a second Geodata Discovery online workshop, from 16/01/2024 13:30 to 17/01/2024 12:00. This workshop aimed at achieving a common vision of what discovery is nowadays, thanks to exchanges between different perspectives on that field: public or private actors, local or global, GI specific or not. Optimizing the chance of potential users to find data relevant to their needs requires various tools and technologies that complement each other. The discovery process should also be more intertwined with current application development and data exploitation.
