American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC)

The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) is the voice of America's engineering industry. ACEC seeks to provide a favorable business environment for the engineering industry through the passage of legislation and regulatory reform. The Council's mission is to contribute to America's prosperity and welfare by advancing the business interests of member firms. Council members – numbering more than 5,500 firms throughout the country – are engaged in a wide range of engineering projects that propel the nation's economy and enhance and safeguard America's quality of life. These activities allow Americans to drink clean water, enjoy a healthy life, take advantage of new technologies, and travel safely and efficiently. ACEC's roots date back to 1909 when a loosely organized group of engineers in private practice established the American Institute of Consulting Engineers (AICE), the forerunner of ACEC. Today ACEC is a large federation of 51 state and regional councils representing the great breadth of America's engineering industry. ACEC member firms employ hundreds of thousands of engineers, architects, land surveyors, scientists, and other specialists, responsible for more than $200 billion of private and public works annually. Member firms range in size from a single registered professional engineer to corporations employing thousands of professionals.

Towards a Global Licensing Framework for Geospatial Data

Is it time for a global licensing framework for geospatial data? The GSDI Legal and Economic Working group thinks so and offered a presentation and a way forward at the GSDI 13 conference held in Quebec City in May. The effort aims to harmonize existing licensing without changing fundamental access policies and funding models and be compatible with the diferences in national legal systems. That's a tall order, but an important one as the world moves toward geodata sharing. Geoff Zeiss reports.
