Project
2003
Following the EuroGeographics
General Assembly 2002, Frankfurt-am-Maine, the decision to
start a Pricing & Licensing project was executed
involving experts from the EuroGeographics Expert Group on
Legal & Commercial Issues, and EuroGeographics project team
members.
The Pricing & Licensing
project objectives were to define and agree between all members
of EuroGeographics on guidelines for a common Data Policy
which would be applicable within EuroGeographics projects
and which would provide a good reference for harmonising the
national data policies across Europe.
The project started
with the study on standard licensing terms. Information was
gathered from 15 National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies (NMCAs)
and 4 comparison reports were produced for the each type of
license (End-user, Distributor, VAR and Evaluation). |
