This is the EU position on geodata. I have not read it yet and expect
to hear opinions about it from different groups. There was much
controversy on access and cost recovery. What is interesting however,
is they actually have a directive. The US also uses directives on
access to data, the creation of spatial data infrastructures, data
quality etc. which mandates US federal data producing agencies and
managing agencies to do certain things. I do not think we have such a
process in Canada but i could be mistaken. At somepoint i would really
like to spend some time to figure out the best way to inform the
Canadian gov on these issues and to get some strong support in something
like a directive canadian style. Does anyone know what the best way to
do this is in Canada?
Enjoy the read.
