"Location data is fundamental to digital public services and the wider economy, delivering value in combination with other data, and supporting innovation through ‘location intelligence’. In this context, there is a need for interoperability supporting these services across Europe, and an important role for both government-authorised core location data and sector-specific location data. The European Union Location Framework (EULF) project, which was part of the Interoperability Solutions for Public Administrations (ISA) programme took action to tackle these challenges. The EULF vision is to create and promote a coherent European framework of guidance and actions to foster cross-sector and cross-border interoperability and use of location information in digital public services, building on national SDIs and INSPIRE4, and resulting in more effective services, savings in time and money, and contributions to increased growth. The EULF Blueprint is a guidance framework for a wide audience to implement the EULF vision. It is based on an extensive EU survey and consultation with stakeholders and therefore embodies a wide range of views and experience. The EULF Blueprint has been updated periodically to keep pace with developments. This updated version (v4) has been produced by the European Location Interoperability Solutions for e-Government (ELISE) project, which is part of the ISA2 programme. The principles and good practices will be increasingly relevant as the EU progresses to the next stages of its digital and data strategies. The document is aimed at six types of readers: Policy Maker; Digital Public Service Owner, Manager or Implementer; ICT Manager, Architect or Developer; Data Manager or Data Scientist; Public Sector Location Data Provider; and Private Sector Product or Service Provider." |
