[open-government] Centre for Spatial Law and Policy

There is merit for open data and open government advocates, program
developers and policy makers to examine the work done in geomatics,
particularly since ideas of data sharing, standards, interoperability,
catalogs, metadata, data dissemination, and trans-institutional &
multi-sectoral and disciplinary collaboration starts in that sector and are
challenges in the open data discourse.  There is much to be learned from
this large and well developed data producing, user and dissemination
sector.  It is also grounded in organizational theory, geography and the
sciences.

The Centre for Spatial Law and Policy  http://www.spatiallaw.com/ is a rich
repository of knowledge on many data issues and is an excellent resource
upon which to build policies and practices in other sectors and disciplines
using data

There is also a blog - http://spatiallaw.blogspot.com/
