Spatial Data Infrastructure and Public Sector Innovation  

Workshop on legal aspects of geographic data
Second edition
Leuven, Friday 18 March 2011 – ICRI, K.U.Leuven

The Spatialist project and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Law and ICT organised the second workshop on legal aspects of geographic data, taking place in Leuven, Belgium on Friday 18 March 2011, from 9.30 to 17.00.

This workshop intended to bring together the members of the GI&SDI community whose work and activities are aimed to progress the research, policy and practice with regard to the legal aspects of geographic data, either as a lawyer or as a researcher or professional in other fields closely related with law or policy.

For the second edition, three main themes were on the agenda. The morning session was dedicated to licensing policies and the possibilities for harmonization. In the first session of the afternoon we addressed location privacy, and the second afternoon session dealt with the new calls for a “right to data”. For each theme, there were be two or three short presentations followed by a discussion.
