The document discusses accessibility of geospatial data in Europe. It provides an overview of the INSPIRE Directive which aims to create a European Union spatial data infrastructure. The directive includes 34 spatial data themes that member states must make interoperable. It also discusses examples of best practices for data harmonization and access including Plan4all, Geoland.at and CentropeMAP. Potential use cases for linked geospatial data are described such as a mobility pass for real estate and web-based maps for the blind.

15. USE CASES 1: Mobility Pass for Real Estate My place of residence or operation – what does it cost me? Relationship between the selection of the location and the mobility behavior, Calculated mid- and long-term costs in terms of time, mobility costs, CO2 emissions and possible accident risk.
16. USE CASES 1: Mobility Pass for Real Estate Modeling mobility patterns and lifestyles; measuring costs and CO2 emissions Save costs, strengthen mobility behavior; reduce environmental impact Service for user (buyer/tenants) and real estate agents

For the “object component” (apartment or house), the situation is analysed on the basis of the transport and the mobility options. The probable medium and long-term mobility costs will be calculated according to the different locations. The aim is to provide residents with useful information on the advantages and disadvantages of a specific location according to their own personal mobility style.
“ Mobility Pass for Real Estate” wants to include as benchmarks mobility costs, CO2 emissions, time and accident risk, so to ensure transparency and have a positive influence in the decision making process and therefore further develop an environmental and economic awareness concerning the chosen transportation mode. The users of the online tool will hence be able to understand the costs of their residence related to their mobility and lifestyle. Another long-term goal is to integrate the topic of “mobility and traffic development” in the real estate and property evaluation, and therefore the “Mobility Pass for Real Estate” would be a useful tool for the housing and real estate industry. The online tool of the “Mobility Pass for Real Estate” is designed with GIS components and should be further developed after an intensive research and testing phase, into a structured tool with specific algorithms so to be used for broader applications by the real estate industry. In a further stage, there is the intention to develop the “Mobility Pass for Real Estate” for the decision-making concerning land use, transportation planning and subsidized housing.
