[euopendata] [open-government] licensing and pricing Geo Data

[Katleen Janssen]

Hi Daniel,

Specifically for geodata, The Queensland Government Information Licensing Framework (http://www.qsic.qld.gov.au/initiatives/gilf.html) and the Geoconnections work in Canada might help (executive summary is here: http://www.geoconnections.org/publications/Best_practices_guide/Executive_Summary_EN_V2_2008.htm; pdf of report is here: http://www.geoconnections.org/publications/Best_practices_guide/Guide_to_Best_Practices_Summer_2008_Final_EN.pdf).

Other stuff that might help are the reports of the EU project OneGeology-Europe, which tried to make some basic recommendations on licensing policies, taking into account the obligations of the EU legislations (the deliverables can be found at http://law.kuleuven.be/icri/deliverables/2071G-E_WP7_D7.pdf?where=; and http://www.onegeology-europe.eu/files/doc/D7.1%20-%20Analysis%20of%20existing%20legal%20framework.pdf.

Maybe the INSPIRE good practices document also helps in digging up good examples: http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/documents/Data_and_Service_Sharing/GoodPractice_%20DataService%20Sharing_v1.1.pdf. 

If I think of something else I'll let you know!

Best regards,
Katleen

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
