Europe INSPIRE Data Specification on Human Health and Safety – Guidelines

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
