In this podcast, editor in chief Joe Francica speaks with Terry Moloney, President and CEO of PCI Geomatics. Mr. Moloney was an early pioneer in business GIS and now heads one of the largest remote sensing software companies. Moloney and Francica spoke about PCI as one of 20 Canadian companies leading a delegation to India to broaden the reach of geospatial technology within that country. Moloney also spoke of the work of Dr. Robert Moses, founder of PCI and a leading proponent of OGC standards who passed away last year. He also addressed the relationship PCI has with Rolta and the opportunities for both companies in India.
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.
