Thought this might be of interest.   http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/documents/Data_Specifications/INSPIRE_Data_Specification_HH_v3.0rc2.pdf   This document specifies a harmonised data specification for the spatial data theme Human Health and Safety as defined in Annex III of the INSPIRE Directive.   The theme “Human health and safety” (HH), as described in the INSPIRE Directive, covers a wide range of data on diseases and related health problems, as well as other indications of health effects that might be linked – directly or indirectly – with the quality of the environment. Given that definition, several components of the scope of the theme “Human health and safety” have been identified, including: - Health statistical data on diseases, poisoning, injuries, etc., and data on general health status in a population, such as self-perceived health, people with health problems, smokers, etc. - Biomarkers - Determinants of health - Health care / services data – for example on services provided by hospitals, health care workforce, etc - Safety   Please note that a new release candidate version (the last before the final version) will be published in the next few weeks. Will be mandatory to implement by public authorities in Europe starting in 2015.   Cheers   Carl Reed, PhD CTO and Executive Director Standards Program Open Geospatial Consortium www.opengeospatial.org The OGC: Making Location Count! --------------------- This communication, including attachments, is for the exclusive use of addressee and may contain proprietary, confidential or privileged information.
