Abstract

TASKS OF THE HYDROGEOLOGISTS’ COMMUNITY IN FORMATION OF THE INSPIRE INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract. European initiative INSPIRE is an undertaking which role in scope of environmental geospatial information providing cannot be overestimated. The base of this initiative is Framework Directive of European Parliament, which establishes an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE). Among 34 thematic domain, which data will be provided, spatial data in scope of geology, hydrology and in consequence also in scope of hydrogeology will occur. Application of advanced interoperable technologies creates for users completely new possibilities of access in on-line mode to large resources of geospatial information in digital form, which were hard to reach previously and as well often practically unavailable. Benefit from direct access to these resources imposes on hydrogeologists community also an obligation. Other communities will have access rights to hydrogeological information also. In consequence of this, Directive INSPIRE imposes an obligation to make hydrogeological data available in forms and structures precisely specified in implementation rules of the Directive.
