3. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 3 The overall context  Sharing and spread of territorial information, available at Public Administration bodies, assume an important role in Geographic Information field.  New web services and digital media make geodata widely available: geographic contents can be easily shared, used and reused across the geospatial domain.

4. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 4 The overall context This involves a particular attention towards:  Providers: about checking the flow of their intellectual properties;  End users: about use rights related to a specific resource

5. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 5 The overall context Piedmont Region, thanks to the experience in legal interoperability, started with the realization of the “Discipline of use” for the Spatial Data Infrastructure SITAD, has continued on this way with a new analysis, supported by a specific CSI research scholarship. “Development and reuse of geodata“

6. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 6 The overall context Goals of the research “Development and reuse of geodata”:  regulate use, reuse and dissemination of geodata available at Public Administration bodies;  define a new way of sharing, using and reusing geodata, away from an “all rights reserved” approach towards a “some rights reserved” approach.

7. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 7 Research phases Legal context about geodata use and reuse PHASE I Matrix “data/use categories/access” PHASE II “Some rights reserved” approach: a business model for licensing geographic information, based on a set of rights associated with specific geospatial resources.

8. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 8 Phase I Phase I:understand the legal context related to the use, dissemination and reuse of geospatial resources (data and software):  International activities of managing use rights of geodata: OGC, ISO TC 211, RELs;  European and Italian legal context about use, diffusion ad reuse of digital information;  Rights Management (RM) and the application in the geospatial marketplace (GeoRM).

9. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 9 Phase I The INSPIRE Directive recognises the importance of public authorities intellectual property rights, by using GeoRM. Geo Rights Management:  is “an instrument which allow public authorities to electronically specify distribution’s policies”;  “supports the automated transfer of legal rights to final users” using licences.

11. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 11 Phase II Phase II: working out of the matrix of “data/use categories/access”:  helps data owner (licensor) to have a background about all possible uses;  summarizes all possible kinds of access to different types of user.

16. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 16 Matrix “data/use categories/access” ACCESS CONDITIONS  User types;  On –screen display;  Price;  Format;  Distribution to third parties ;  Publication;  Diffusion via web.

17. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 17 Guidelines about the use of geographic information Matrix of “data/use categories/access” has been useful to create:  “Guide-lines about the use of geodata”: a tool to regulate the complex geodata of Piedmont Region, defining use and reuse policies for the digital information;  a set of “standard geolicences” to protect geospatial resources of Public Administration bodies.

18. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 18 Standard geolicence Data OwnerEnd User “Defines policy to be applied when resources flow across the geospatial domain” (OGC GeoDRRM Reference Model) “Accesses geodata based on specified terms and conditions” (OGC GeoDRRM Reference Model) GEOLICENCE

19. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 19 Standard geolicence Geolicence:  defines terms and conditions for the licensee (end user), who acquires a set of rights (permitted uses, display, download, format, distribution);  it could be useful to express geolicenses using two forms: “legal code”, a legally expression of terms and conditions of the license; “user friendly”, a simplified readable version for the web, expressing key terms and conditions.

20. 25/06/08 Roberta Lucà INSPIRE Conference2008 Legal aspects about sharing geodata 20 Standard geolicence Piedmont Region, in the next months, will implement a sort of “Click Licences”, automatically composed by:  User information (name, surname, e-mail…);  Use categories (Commercial, Non-Commercial…)  Access conditions (specific user type…)
