There will always be exceptions, abstentions, opt-outs and so on.<br /><br />Most of the 'geospatial' data of which you (and I) expect to yield so much benefit is I suspect really data with location attributes; what is needed is consistent geo frameworks to hang all that valuable stuff on. For the rest its a case of understanding requirements and assimilating data to meet them.<br /><br />So there will be different legal, licensing, IP and related frameworks across different jurisdictions and between different data sources. We take that as a given while supporting calls for simplicity and standards and sharing of best practice.<br /><br />There is a continuing explosion in all types of data including both geospatial and data with location attributes (everything happens somewhere right) and this is set to continue in all territories in one form or another; the new generation of remote sensing satellites and the tools to extract useful geospatial data from them will see to that while other tools and platforms of varying degrees of maturity (be it sensor webs, cctv, social media etc etc) will facilitate a lot of the rest. Discovering what is available, what suits the problem at hand and then developing a 'solution' to that problem/issue/challenge will continue to happen in all territories at different paces using these and other data sources driven by many factors of legal, cultural and technical frameworks are but three examples. And given that many really high value applications have as an input some proprietary data and a proprietary or at least customised way in which the data is to be assembled and analysed in pursuit of insight, performance, productivity and profit there is a risk of over-stating the limitations of the absence of legal and policy frameworks as enablers of social and economic good.<br /><br />There seems to be an implicit expectation within your 10 year horizon that "good" data frameworks will liberate all involved while "bad" frameworks carry an Orwellian tag and that by implication the more data that is more open and freely exchanged at every level (and again by implication this demands that corporates and individuals cede their right to privacy to the greater 'good') the 'better' it will be. As the Boomtown Rats reminded me only this morning there's always "Someone looking at you" (even in 1980) and we would be naive in the extreme to assume that the (increasingly privatised, in terms of who we divulge our information to or who hoovers up our data exhaust) surveillance society into which we are sleepwalking is a benign entity or that the crowd offer a powerful enough antidote to its potential for malevolence.by Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921702055203147904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168778176880634797.post-87078272019491545062012-02-15T11:59:15.592-05:002012-02-15T11:59:15.592-05:00Jeff,

The consequence of which will be poorer data reliability in the future from consumers - and ultimtely impacting any consumer related data products.<br /><br />Jeff ThurstonMr Jeff Thurstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856663834586008424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168778176880634797.post-17127332339610295102012-01-03T17:05:40.500-05:002012-01-03T17:05:40.500-05:00How or what the Federal Government does to treat g...How or what the Federal Government does to treat geospatial data as infrastructure is exactly what I think needs to happen. Let’s take your transportation for example. Treating geospatial data like transportation would mean that the Feds would supply incentives and minimum standards to the States. The States would use the incentives and apply the standards as well as add their own standards and actually create the data or accumulate from their county equivalents. Every State is different in how it handles data down to the county equivalents and the same is true for roads. The Federal Government supplies money and other incentives to the States to maintain the roads and the States maintain the Interstates and State roads, the local counties receive money from the State along with their own to maintain their local streets. This varies from county to county and State to State but it’s fairly similar. The point here is that the federal government does not do the work, nor do we want them to. But they become a repository and accumulator while supplying standards and incentives to the States/Local government to maintain the data.<br />The other reason I used the term infrastructure is to clarify that this is not a ‘thing’ to be bought. I don’t feel that the government fully realizes that this data needs to be the product of a process which is perpetuated. I know that a lot of the issue here is the rapid changes in technology that have made it seem more like a product because both process and data delivered have become obsolete in only a few years. A lot of this seems to be slowing down a bit and we have gotten a lot better at migrating to new systems. But still building the process here is more important than the product which is sure to change..https://www.blogger.com/profile/03999711325315819303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168778176880634797.post-63336345849000123292011-12-22T15:00:09.604-05:002011-12-22T15:00:09.604-05:00In retrospect I think I took the comment from the ...In retrospect I think I took the comment from the unknown user out of context.

However I don't believe this is true at the federal level. Consider the physical infrastructure for the United States road network if you will. Local, State and Federal entities all have a hand in maintaining the road network, receive funding to support their work and understand their roles. Now consider centerline data. Open sources, private sources, local, state and fed entities all maintain different copies of data covering the same jurisdiction. Do we each maintain a set of our own physical road infrastructure for our exclusive use?<br /><br><br />The feds don't want to deal with state and local data. They lack the capacity for technical and political innovation that's necessary to make the vision of the NSDI a reality. Consider if you will that in order to get Indiana's spatial data integrated into the NSDI that it was necessary to bypass the NSGIC and the FGDC entirely (ref: http://geoplatform.ideascale.com/a/dtd/The-50-States-Initiative-guidelines-need-scrapped-and-rewritten/99477-10935).

I don't disagree that there is a privacy issue (thank you Apple), but so long as we are able to develop infrastructure representing structures, facilities, common events, news locations etc we should be fine. The definition or exceptions to "Precise Geolocation" should allow for development of information that aid in communication and facilitation of displaying relative information. Locations will need to be considered a common location such as an address without personal information. When a location is associsted with personal information or identity it should not be precise unless warrented and desired.
