Setting the Scene

In the Session "Setting the Scene" at CAPIGI 2011 the audience was filled in on the subjects of Mapping, Guidance and Sensing.

 

It started with a presentation on Mapping from Wim Devos of the GEOCAP action of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) called LPIS QA Formalises Mainstream GI in the CAP. He explained about the Land Parcel Identification System and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The CAP represents a formal EU requirement on GIS in the Member States stating that "the identification system for agricultural parcels shall be established on the basis of maps or land registry documents or other cartographic references, where use shall be made of computerised geographical information system techniques including preferably aerial or spatial orthoimagery with an homogenous standard". The LPIS systems basically follows the INSPIRE regulation but has not been named part of it. With it's long standing implementation it seems ahead of INSPIRE by 5 years.
