RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] OGC geospatial rights mgt. summit
Doesn't the USGS already release a ton of data in the public domain? I also thought an organization interested in standards for geospatial data might be interested in geospatial data licensing. They seem like parallel tracks.

I also thought an organization interested in standards for geospatial data might be interested in geospatial data licensing. They seem like parallel tracks. OSGeo, OGC, GSDI, and probably other organizations all present different views into dealing with data. Aligning with any of these has its pluses and minuses. I think it boils down to where the inertia is. If there seems to be a current lack of intensity, then one interpretation is that there hasn't been enough critical mass in any one place to achieve the intensity. Depending on the organization, some of the energy put into moving the topic forward may have to be used to counter other interests within that organization. Thus, one approach is to assess where to best apply positive energy without having to counter lots of resistance. Maybe that place is within Science Commons itself.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OGC geospatial rights mgt. summit
But OGC could, as a service to its membership, work with SC to define standardized classes of licenses that would help geospatial data publishers with their licensing needs all along the permissions spectrum. --- Raj On May 30, at 4:53 PM, Ian Turton wrote: On Fri, May 29, 2009 at 7:09 PM, Landon Blake lbl...@ksninc.com wrote: How about OGC support for the Science Commons work on a public domain or creative commons type license for geospatial data.
