[Rex Banks]

Anyone who wants to read about some practical, community benefit examples
of open data should read LANDMARK magazine produced by the Victorian
Spatial Council and available on the VSC website <
www.victorianspatialcouncil.org> then drill down under resources in the
menu bar to Landmark.
