16
Key Indicators: Delivery
• Through the Upload page of the ESPON Database
Portal (restricted access)
1. Upload the Data+Metadata XLS Template
2. The first checking phase - Syntactic Check is automatically launched
3. Consult the result
4. While errors then Correct
5. Correct warnings or/and Proceed to the
Checking Phase (Semantic Check)
17
Key Indicators: Tracking
• A online Tool to see and consult reports about
• Data+Metadata sets already entirely checked
• Data+Metadata sets currently checked
• Which step(s) they have passed
• Which step(s) remain
• A online Tool for
• TPG Members and Manager
• M4D Contact Teams
• ESPON CU

Data and Metadata Workflow
27
Zoom-In Data: Strategy
• A Zoom-In Dataset does not cover the entire
ESPON Area (EU27+4)
• Local data for a Region or a group of Regions
(e.g. Greater Manchester at LAU2, Ile-deFrance at employment basin level)
• Non ESPON Area and non ESPON
Neighbourhood data (e.g. data on American,
Brazilian or Japanese Regions)
28
Zoom-In Data: Delivery
• Some Files are expected
• Data File (Template available)

37
Zoom-In Data: Checking
• Checking of Zoom-In Data
• The codes of the territorial units contained in
the geometries and the dataset are the same
• The geometries are georeferenced
• All the mandatory fields of the documentation
file are correctly filled
•A notification is sent
• Support and follow-up provided TIGRIS Team
(University of Iasi, Romania) – M4D Partner

Data and Metadata Workflow
43
Background Data: Strategy
• ESPON TPGs may have produced
• a lot of data useful for specialists but not for
other users (policy maker, practitioners…)
• intermediate data used to produce their key
indicators
• These data are Background Data
• The database that contain them will be made
available as a zip file…
• … With metadata described in an XLS Template
44
Background Data: Delivery
• Some Files are expected
• Data File (similar to the case-study xls file)
• Metadata File
• Indicator + Source Descriptions
45
Project Database: Delivery
46
Background Data: Checking
• A compliance check: template is followed and all
the mandatory fields are filled
• Syntactic Check
• No semantic and no outlier check on this delivery
47
Background Data: Access
• Background Data will be made available on the
ESPON Web page of each project
48
Project Database: Access
49
Agenda
• 30th of June
• Web App v2 (online access to the current
version under development)
• Database (today)
• 30 datasets
• 443 indicators
• 1070213 indicator values
50
Agenda
• 31th December 2012
• Web App v2 with all functionalities
• P1 Metadata online Editor
• Urban Data + Metadata Sets
• SWOT Analysis about OGC Web Services to
access the ESPON Database
51

implemented features
• Continuous integration of new datasets via the
new integration tools
