“Publaw
III,” Final Report, EC DGXIII (November
1995)
Initial Parameters of Comparison:
•Right of Public Access: Is there a Freedom of Information
Law or similar
policy?
•Government Copyright: Do governments assert copyright over
taxpayer-funded
data?
•Price Structure: Do governments seek to recoup costs of
dissemination only, or do they attempt to raise significant revenues as in “full
cost recovery”?
•Government Competition: Do governments encourage a robust
private data
industry, or do they compete as through “Government Commercialization”?
Just an analytical starting point.
