The document discusses the state of open geodata in Germany. It notes that for geodata to be effectively reused, it needs to have (1) interoperability so it can be easily discovered, accessed, and processed by machines; (2) open licensing for legal interoperability; and (3) low or no transaction costs. However, currently geodata in Germany is fragmented across different locations and platforms, has some technical and legal barriers, and higher resolution data is often not free to access. The document calls for more consolidated and standardized access to open geodata to help fuel innovation.

1. Open? Geodata

5. What the re-user needs
Interoperability & low transaction costs:
!
1. data can easily be discovered & accessed
2. data can easily be processed by machines (technical interoperability)
3. data is openly licensed (legal interoperability)
4. data is free of charge
!

6. What the re-user hates
Silos & high transaction costs:
1. data can NOT easily be discovered & accessed
2. data can NOT easily be processed by machines (technical interoperability)
3. data is NOT openly licensed (legal interoperability)
4. data is NOT free of charge

7. State of play Geo data re-use in Germany...

8. 1. Availability of geo data
www.govdata.de
www.geoportal.de
www.geodatenzentrum.de
!
and at +16 other places…

9. 2. Technical interoperability
Yes, but ….
!
make sure re-user can access the data behind the service.

10. 3. Legal interoperability
Yes, but ….
!
GeoZG and GeoNutzV at grant right to re-use free of charge at federal level
!
Berlin initiated GeoNutzV at federal state level, 15 more to come…

11. 4. Quality of available geo data
1:200.000 - 1:1.000.000 free of charge :)
1:25.000 bis 1:100.000 not free of charge :(

13. !
To be re-used geo data
needs to be
1. discoverable
2. legally open
3. technically open
4. free of charge*
