QUT has co-sponsored two international summits on Open Access to Public Sector Information (PSI), the first in Brisbane on Tuesday 4th March and the second in Canberra on Thursday 6th March. The presentation powerpoints for the Canberra summit can be viewed here.
In a world where access to knowledge has become a key driver of social, cultural and economic innovation governments throughout the world have begun to focus on how they might provide better access to the publicily funded information resources. This raises questions of information management, pricing and economic modelling and legal compliance. The summit brought together leading experts from around the world and Australia working on projects in the area to provide and overview of the current policy development and what this means for Australian governments.
Thank you to CRC-SI, QLD Goverment and Queensland Spatial Information Council who co-sponsored the Brisbane summit and to CRC-SI and Office of Spatial Data Management for their co-sponsorship of the Canberra summit.
