geo-coord -- lobbying activities for free access to government-held geographic data in the UK and EU
About geo-coord	English (USA)
Current government policy about the licensing and pricing of government-owned geographic data ignores economic and social realities. A proposed new European Commission Directive aims to establish a common spatial data infrastructure, with common licensing and cost policy along the lines of that operated by the UK's Ordnance Survey. How can we help raise awareness of the issues surrounding the access to and distribution of government-owned national mapping data across Europe?
