SLIDE 2
SLIDE 3
Enabling Environment
Create enabling legislation/policy that
supports broad collection/use/distribution of geospatial information:
All types of geoinformation Provides for adequate funding
levels/support
Identifies a lead organization Encourages data access and sharing
SLIDE 4
Considerations When Developing a Legal and Policy Framework
Geospatial community is an ecosystem. A number of different laws and regulations
impact geospatial information management.
Legal systems vary considerably. There are many different types of
geospatial information.
Geospatial technology is rapidly
changing.
SLIDE 5
Key Components of a Legal and Policy Framework
Binding Elements
Legislation and Laws Contracts and Other Agreements Treaties and other international obligations
Non-binding Elements
Policies Best Practices Standards
SLIDE 6
Critical Aspects of a Legal and Policy Framework for Geospatial Information Utilization
Issues that Impact Governance and
Accountability
Designation of Lead Organization Data Collection and Governance Sector/Platform Specific Laws
SLIDE 7
Critical Aspects of a Legal and Policy Framework for Geospatial Information Utilization
Issues that Indirectly Impact
Geospatial Information Management
Intellectual property rights Liability National Security Contract Law
Role of Data Sharing Agreements/Data Licenses Open Data
SLIDE 8
Conduct Gap Analysis
Review of existing laws and regulations
What laws and regulations are hindering collection/use/sharing of
geospatial information?
What laws and regulations are needed to facilitate
collection/use/sharing of geospatial information?
Areas to consider:
Intellectual property rights Privacy Liability Sovereign immunity National Security Open Data
SLIDE 9
Address the Gaps
Work with legislators, policymakers, and regulators to address the
gaps.
At all levels
Find examples from other countries (best practices).
UN-GGIM website Implementation Guide

SLIDE 10
Make Data Accessible
What is government’s plan for making geospatial
information accessible?
Does it include industry and public? If not, why?
Is there a formal policy or legislation or is it informal? How will geospatial community participate in the decision
making?
Will they have a seat at the table?
Are the unique aspects of geospatial information being
considered?
SLIDE 11
Licensing Arrangements
Adopt/develop licenses/data sharing agreements for
sharing of geospatial information:
Resource:
Compendium on Licensing of Geospatial Information
Understand User base Consult with: Users Lawyers Data providers Industry Government
SLIDE 12
Future Proof
Consider creating Geospatial User Group/Council to
consider legal and policy issues associated with future technologies/applications:
Drones Autonomous Vehicles Cloud technology Machine learning Internet of Things Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality
