Models for rights management workshop
Vowles, Graham
Throughout the workshop the term GeoRM will be used extensively and in this context it refers to Geospatial Rights Management. GeoRM is the electronic license for dynamically created content and is built upon the foundations of "Creative Commons" licensing. Approximately one third of the group were aware of the "Creative Commons" licensing framework. The workshop was structured around a triangular model of trust, technical protection and legal remediation. Within the group there were five members representing content providers, all of whom agreed that licensing and rights management is an important issue facing their business. The workshop was asked to consider the key question of how the licensing terms for geospatial information can be standardised, given that the current technology is relatively stable?
