So it's Friday afternoon, it's a little bit quiet I see, thank you for being here, thank you for letting me have this presentation. I would like to show you some simple example of how we can make the request for permit more easy by integrating like semantics, geodata,
00:28
into an interactive map. So and therefore I would like to give you this example of which is Bert. He wants to open a restaurant at specific locations and he likes cooking so he maybe later wants to expand his company with a raise on the dike
00:46
and maybe later on when business goes well he would like to have a ballroom also. But actually he wants to know whether it can do, is he allowed to do this, what rules must he follow and if he must submit or request something, does he need a permit, does he
01:04
need to inform the local government with it. On the other hand we have, on the other side we have Hans, he's a civil servant, he adopts the regional plan, it's his responsibility and well Bert needed to do a request for a permit and Hans is the one who judges this
01:25
and he decides whether or not it fits with the regional plan and in this it was okay. So after opening the restaurant Hans checks if everything went okay according to the permit.
01:41
So this sounds very simple but actually it's a long procedure in which you need a lot of information which you have to get from different places and the chances that Hans and Bert do not have access to the same information and that causes this, that Hans has some information
02:03
Bert doesn't have and it might also be incomplete and insufficiently reliable which causes in the end there is a delay because we have to do more research and that causes of course irritation because Bert cannot start his restaurant. So to make it more simple
02:22
in the Netherlands they try to make the whole procedure more simple and they now work on a new environmental law because in the Netherlands we have a lot of legislation, we have a long history of laws and articles regarding spatial planning and what they want to do, we want to bundle all this legislation, all these laws and they want to go from, on
02:52
and they want to have less degrees, governmental degrees and they want to have less municipal regulations so then it gets easier for Hans to do his work, he needs to take
03:02
into account less legislation and for Bert it's also more easy because I don't know what your experience with legislation is but it treats difficult, yeah specifically it's a lot. So it's a complete system reform of environmental law, it should be simpler, more efficient and better but they kept in mind actually law protects civilians but it also gives room
03:27
for initiatives so you should not make it too strict. It should be more flexible and decentralized that means that well give local governments more responsibility in judging about permits because they know what kind of development is good and valuable for
03:45
that region and it should be more transparent and efficient the whole procedure. So actually and that's their slogan, that's what they quote, it's make it simply better, that's how they say it. Well when I think of that I would also say make the IT more simple
04:00
because we have now so much tools and information so as we can use. So the idea is if we have an optimum digital support for that, improving the availability and usability and stability of the data then we get a better process in that and I would like to demonstrate it later on. So what they want to do is go towards one digital counter with all the
04:25
information adapted to the needs of the users and they do that well and it should that digital counter should give access to the same information Hans and Bert should get and they want to do that by making a good infrastructure, a good digital infrastructure
04:44
which connects different registers of geodata with also with legislations and with base registration so you have one digital counter and they metaphorically use this avenue
05:00
of the environment they call it and they identify different information, help from different domains, different areas, water, nature, they all have data about these topics and if we could integrate that then you have access to that information. This is the Dutch
05:21
system of government based registrations, for example the business registration, we have a cadastral registration, we have the taxation, land taxation and then the poverty taxation registration. Then we have several geo datasets as base registration and they
05:42
are available as open data, large scale topography, small scale topography and also buildings and addresses. I don't know if you have seen the talk of Tom Lee this morning about open addresses but they can take out the exact location of addresses from the
06:01
Dutch SDI because this is the website and the datasets are available in OGC standards and because OGC standards like the XML are not that nice for web developers we have also we are now organising a test bed to see how we can make it better available also
06:28
to non-geo experts like I think of other standards like GeoJSON to make it a part of the ecosystem of the web. So if you're interested please go to there and you can find more information about that, it's an invitation to tender. So they are trying
06:44
to make a new infrastructure between the digital counter and the public registers and also the information from the base registrations and also from the legislation so they all want to try to connect it and put it in one counter so they have access to all the information
07:00
and Hans and Bert will get the same information. And the data provided to them that should meet in Dutch it's triple B but when I put it in Google translate I will get 3As that's why it's called triple A it should be available, applicable and abiding and if you want to use other terms for that it should be accessible, it should be usable
07:23
and it should be sustainable or stable. So that's why it's triple A. So I would like to show you some concepts, some prototypes, we were thinking of this for how could you do this so I would like to present you a concept of linking the data
07:40
definition and regulations into one website and we did it using an interactive map with a simple form as a user interface, we use Leaflet which is very simple to use and a simple form, web form and if Bert wants something, wants a permit then his question
08:03
is do I need an environmental permit for and then in that case we have now a use case that you have your restaurant or your farm and that you want to apply for a change in the business activity so and we worked out one use case that is the impact assessment
08:22
of the air quality, determinate effects on the nearby nature reserves, we have if you see in the sky picture the Netherlands is near the sea, we have dunes and so for this example we count the effect of the dunes. So what you have to do, you have
08:43
to point out where your business is, in this case it is a cow house which will be expanded, cattle barn and you fill in the requested details like how much emission you expect to have in the new situations and then what is done, you send a request to a remote
09:06
service register of the National Institute for Public Health and the environment and then you get back, you get a geodation and in this you see what the impact is. In red it is high impact on that nature area and in green it is less impact so you
09:26
need a permit because it has to be judged by in this case Hans. So this is one example, we took another example for industry, for a waste management company if we are expanding that one, your emission gets higher like for example the nitrogen
09:45
and the ammonia and sometimes you don't know what, if you fill in a form you don't know what is meant by it, the meaning of a particular concept, the definition is then
10:01
provided by a tool tip and that is not a tool tip which is just implemented in the HTML but it is a remote request to a different register with all the legislation and definition of concepts from the information model in it and we call that an avenue catalogue,
10:22
it stores all the definitions, so the semantics of legislation and information models. So what we did hereby is that we disconnected the semantics and the technique to data so on the one hand we have legislations and the information model, on the other hand we have
10:43
to register the data itself and the information services and using linked data we can connect them, we can query them and we can get the information into that one digital counter. So again a request is sent to a remote web service for this use case for this example
11:03
and it returns again geodesism and in this example you see that the impact is less high using these values that we filled in but still it needs a permit because it has some high values. So where are we now with this? Well we
11:26
are in the designing phase and we are now constructing, we think of standards and new techniques, this is one of the concepts we provide to the decision makers. So that's now being implemented and I guess it will take some time before it's really
11:41
there but in the end what we would like, what we want is that it's and IT gets simply better for Bert and Hans in the near future so they can get their permit and do their business activities. Thank you very much if you're interested, it's the pictures I took are from a nice video which is in Dutch with some nice music
12:03
under it but I thought I need to have to translate it so if you're interested go to YouTube and you can click on it, it's a link and if you want other information about what we're doing in the Netherlands then you can go to the links of the presentation.
12:22
So thank you. Are there any questions? Did I have a question for you if that's allowed? How is it arranged in your country? Do you know? Where do
12:44
you need to go to if you need a permit? What would be your first guess where to start? Is there a digital calendar or is it just to go to an office or do you have to fill
13:01
in a form which you print and then you... And then you wait. In France I think it's more or less similar to what you described at the beginning. It's quite complex to get the information even if you have more and more websites where you can access the data,
13:22
the information about the risk, about the protected area and so on but you have to go in different places and it's quite hard to combine everything together and at some point you need to sign a form and then I think more or less similar initiatives also happen
13:40
in France at least. Thank you for your answer. So are there any more questions? Because then let's conclude this session. Thank you very much.
