The objectives of the ‘IACS65 data sharing project’ performed by the JRC were to make: IACS data more visible and accessible through the INSPIRE geoportal by the production and publication of discovery metadata for datasets and services, improve interoperability with other relevant data sets for the interest of public administration (LULUCF, crop classification, landscape features), ensure effective re-use through use cases, with a specific focus on soil, explore IACS data when it is integrated with third data bases, collaboration with the Member States (Paying agencies). Substantial progress has been made in the 30 months for the project thanks to AGRI/JRC efforts to facilitate IACS data sharing with Member States, even though data are not yet available for all Member States. Good results have been obtained and the positive trend along time was possible thanks to different EC actions, notably: publication of technical guidelines for the data discovery metadata and datasets metadata, adaptation of INSPIRE geoportal for better visibility of LPIS and GSA(A) (In line with the implementation action on High Value data sets) and trainings for the paying agencies, leading to exchange during workshops and conferences. Nevertheless, the efforts should continue.
