This workshop builds on the [Law and the GeoWeb][lg] workshop held
recently
at Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, and will bring together speakers from
across industry, research and academia to contribute toward some of the
fundamental theoretical and technical questions emerging in the Open Data
space (i.e., how to mark up and release open data; licensing models for
governments and how to interface them to other open source and commercial
licensing regimes; conflicts between data protection and transparency and
structuring access to data by different groups).
