Definición

  • Access to geographic (or spatial) information concerns the right and ability of the general public to use a range of geographic data and information gathered by local, state, and federal government agencies and paid for by citizens'tax dollars. Since much of the data gathered for public purposes have a spatial reference, be it a street address or the geographic coordinates of a particular location, understanding the complexities of managing access to geographic information becomes important and relevant for all of us.
