DeliciousPodcast: WSCA States Team Up for Better Deal on Cloud GIS
Last November, the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) issued a “Request for Information” (RFI) to look at purchasing bundled cloud hosting services. The effort was to assess the technical and financial feasibility of using public cloud hosting services to support GIS applications and data presently supported by the individual states. The idea was to save money by "bulk purchasing" such services. The editors look at the RFI, the assessment of responses from the 23 vendors, and consider the value of this effort to states for the short and long term.

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.
