In the past, government agencies typically acquired ownership of such data from private-sector and other data producers and distributed these data without restriction. Licensing--whereby the producer may restrict redistribution--has emerged as an alternative business model that agencies must now consider among a suite of procurement options. The report highlights licensing perspectives and experiences of major stakeholder groups and examines the pros and cons of licensing. It concludes that licensing may be a viable option in some instances and advises agencies on how to best serve societal interests.Geographic information systemsLicensesGeodatabasesLicensesLicense agreementsGeographic information systemsLicenses.GeodatabasesLicenses.License agreements.910/.285National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Licensing Geographic Data and Services.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961508203321Licensing geographic data and services4367909UNINA
