I would very much value your collective advice and guidance on this summit I am coordinating on the tricky subject of rights management. It is conveniently located at MIT so I would like to take advantage and fully connect into the W3C community. I have attached the press release which gives some further detail. Ian can you let me know who I need to contact to get the summit publicised on the W3C network. *OGC Geospatial Rights Management Summit: Call for Participants* I am writing to you in my capacity as Chair of the Open Geospatial Consortium – Geo Rights Management Domain Working Group. We are looking for participants to join us at the *OGC Geospatial Rights Management Summit* on *22 June 2009* at *MIT, Cambridge, Mass., USA*. The summit will be held in parallel to the OGC Technical Committee meetings and is open to everyone - participation from outside of the OGC community is particularly welcomed. The purpose of the summit is to reach out to other communities in this field in order to understand complementary perspectives and to exchange ideas. Would you be able to join us on that day? or can you recommend someone you know with expert knowledge in the field? Also, if you have any ideas or suggestions for the summit, please do let me know. I would appreciate your response by this Friday, 15 May 2009. Regards Graham Vowles, Chair of the Geo Rights Management Domain Working Group *------* *OGC Geospatial Rights Management Summit (Provisional Agenda)* 22 June 2009 MIT, Cambridge, Mass., USA *Purpose*: Enabling Licensing Models: connecting business with technical infrastructure for managing and protecting intellectual property. 10.00 Welcome and Introductions to Rights Management A brief history of GeoRM 11.00 Review of standards and approaches 10min lightening talks: Legal Aspects, Creative Commons, ISO REL, XACML… GeoRM SWG Presentation – common issues on rights managing services 12.00 Panel Discussion 12.30-14.00 *Lunch and networking* 14.00 Commonality of Approaches Example application of licensing models – BIM/INSPIRE/Mobile Apps? 15.00 Workshop to generate ideas for enabling licensing models 16.00 Summary and Next Steps Moving from internal OGC process to public OGC Network approach 16.30 Close Useful links: Geo Rights Management (GeoRM) Domain Working Group (http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/geormwg ) Geospatial Digital Rights Management Reference Model (http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=14085 ) -- All the best, Ashok

PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For information about this announcement, contact: Sam Bacharach Executive Director, Outreach and Community Adoption Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc tel: +1-703-352-3938 sbacharach@opengeospatial.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------- May 6, 2009, Wayland, Massachusetts.The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC®) invites participation in an OGC Geospatial Rights Management (GeoRM) Summit to be held June 22, 2009 at the Stata Center at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Geospatial data and services -- Earth images, GIS, map browsers, location services, navigation, etc. -- have become an integral part of our information environment. But this progress raises issues of security, public access, intellectual property, and emergency use of geospatial information. The issues are complex because geospatial data products are often composed of data from multiple sources which may have different rights and restrictions associated with them. Thus, business and policy issues, not technical issues, are now the industry bottleneck. "The OGC's Geospatial Digital Rights Management Reference Model (GeoDRM RM) provides a framework that enables much more than today's ‘all or nothing' protection," explained Graham Vowles, chair of the GeoRM Working Group ( http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/geormwg ) of the OGC Technical Committee. "This has important implications for governments and scientists whose data would have far more value if the data could be readily shared." "Standards based on the GeoDRM RM will open up many new opportunities for geospatial data and geoprocessing service businesses," said Mark Reichardt, the OGC's president and CEO. "We are holding this summit to give multiple stakeholder communities an opportunity to see how they can benefit from developing and using GeoRM standards." For OGC GeoRM Summit information, agenda and registration, see http://www.opengeospatial.org/event/090622georm. The OGC's June 2009 Technical Committee meeting week also includes a Sensor Web Summit ( http://www.opengeospatial.org/event/090624swe ) hosted by the OGC's Sensor Web Enablement Working Group and a 3D Fusion Summit http://www.opengeospatial.org/event/0906233dfusion ) hosted by the OGC's 3DIM Working Group. The OGC® is an international consortium of more than 380 companies, government agencies, research organizations, and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards. OpenGIS® Standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT. OGC Standards empower technology developers to make geospatial information and services accessible and useful with any application that needs to be geospatially enabled.
