We have had no need so far to establish a legal framework, in the form of new legislation or changes to existing legislation. The government regulates its own activities and other stakeholders have voluntarily joined in, seeing the advantages for themselves. For Europe a different approach is used by the European Union. An SDI is being established with the use of a legal framework, the INSPIRE directive with supplementing regulations. As a supplement for the needs of the private sector, EU has the PS I (re-use) directive. It is interesting to compare these approaches by analysing the need and use of a legal framework for establishing an SDI. It is also interesting to look at what happens when a voluntary solution is about to be replaced by a law reform. Laws and regulations are tools for a purpose and not an end in itself. The question is whether a regulatory approach helps in a way that other tools can not. It is also a general experience that legislation meant to initiate a fairly large reform in a certain area, needs vigorous follow up for a long time in order to work as expected. The role of the public sector is important in the discussion of how to establish and SDI. In this context, one can not avoid the issue of funding and the discussion on whether the moving around of money between public organisations serves a purpose. In a global perspective it is interesting to consider how these two approaches, legislation or cooperation will work in other places. There are places where establishing data and services that will work in a modern technological environment are more important than an SDI, because an SDI needs data and data services like a road network needs the roads and the road signs. It is also a consideration that some of the ambitions of an SDI as they have been denned up to now, should be reconsidered when considering the tools for implementing an SDI.

European geographic information infrastructures: opportunities and pitfalls, ch. Intellectual property and mapping: a European perspective / L. Aslesen (1998)

Public contenu dans European geographic information infrastructures / Peter A. Burrough (1998) Titre de série : European geographic information infrastructures: opportunities and pitfalls, ch Titre : Intellectual property and mapping: a European perspective Type de document : Chapitre/Contribution Auteurs : L. Aslesen, Auteur Editeur : Londres : Taylor & Francis Année de publication : 1998 Collection : GISdata series num. 5 Importance : pp 127 - 135 Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Infrastructure de données [Termes IGN] propriété intellectuelle [Termes IGN] système d'information géographique [Termes IGN] Union Européenne Résumé : (Auteur) GIS is moving from electronic versions of traditional mapping and charting products into multimedia systems ; where the products create the basis for the use of other types of work. An endless possibility for new applications arises. A number of legal aspects also arise, many just as important as intellectual property. This chapter gives an overview of the legal situation on intellectual property and GIS, and focuses on some specific GIS problems, as well as the dilemma of how to make data available without compromising protection.
