© con terra GmbH 3 Spatial information is valuable >even if its for free! Spatial information can be used for commercial products >its raw material for spatial products, applications, etc. Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) are the distribution network >moving the raw and semi-finished products from the producer to the user If value is created along the value chain, there is a need for metering and accounting! And spatial information is heterogeneous! >Its not sufficient to summarise what is taken from and given to the network Basic Assumptions

INSPIRE Data & Service Sharing Implementing Rules: >Convey legal terms and conditions >Transparency of charges >Licence creation without delay Applying Business Aspects to SDIs
