Dear all,

in Germany local authorities are looking into how to streamline licensing and pricing Geo Data with open data in mind.

In Germany the hole setting around Geo Data (legislative framework, administrative structure and market) is quite complex and I am afraid I am not an expert in this field. So I am asking for your help:

Do you know of any 

- legal framework and or 
- governmental strategies
- best practice 

in regards to licensing and pricing of Geo Data that helped to

- successfully build a growing Geo Data market
- establish a sustainable 'open' [1] Geo Data infrastructure


I very much appreciate your comments, hints and links on this! Thanks in advance.


All the best
Daniel
