ESPON 3.2 - Data Navigator 2 - Final Report
Résumé
This report is divided in four parts: 1. The Data circuit part describes briefly the system of data collection
set up in the first phase of the ESPON program by giving an global overview (1.1). We present the dual role of Transnational Project Groups which are, at the same time, users and producers of data and, consequently, both receive input data (1.2) from multiple sources and send output data (1.3) towards the ESPON DB. 2. The Rules for data collection part firstly gives some general principles for data collection which are summed up in the form of “10 commandments” (2.1). These commandments come from an analysis of the data circuit presented in section 1. They also enlighten the necessity of re-thinking the data circuit and the way data are stored and managed. We therefore propose a new data model, called Long Term Data Base, whose main aim is to guaranty the right application of the commandments (2.2). Then, we show that this model also serves as a support for both the estimation of missing values and the elaboration of practical rules for quality control (2.3). 3. The recommendations for ESPON 2013 concludes this first part and summarises our proposals for further research. 4. The Experiences part presents, in a separate part, a set of concrete examples built by the experts of our group and which deal with the thematic harmonization of data (4.1), the extensive use of
national sources (4.2) and the integration of environmental and socio-economic data (4.3).
