This event was hosted by the Office of Spatial Data Management (OSDM) in collaboration with the Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information (CRCSI), the Queensland Government and the Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
Background
In a world where access to knowledge has become a key driver of social, cultural and economic innovation governments throughout the world have begun to focus on how they might provide better access to the publicly funded information resources. This raises questions of information management, pricing and economic modelling and legal compliance. This seminar brings together leading experts from around the world and Australia working on projects in this area to provide an overview of the current policy development and what this means for Australian governments.
