Spatial Data collected by the Government will be publicly made available through Clearing House but some area of spatial data will not be publicly made available. Uniqueness of Japanese NSDI will be that spatial data collection coordination will occur not only within the Government but among Private Industries and the Government coordination. Utilities like power, telecomm and gas will also participate to provide some kind of spatial data collected and maintained for their own duties. Pricing issue will be left out to each spatial data provider. In case of participation from the private industry, charges will occur for the use of value added spatial data service.
Commercial involvement mean spatial data is defined as commodities.
In this sense geopositional accuracy data and 3 D data will have growing future in Japanese market. Please describe those digital spatial data sets for jurisdictions within your nation that are available to anyone without any licensing or intellectual property restrictions imposed on the data sets and the data sets are available at no cost or little cost. Many spatial data sets are made available by the Governmental Agencies and private industries sector by sector associations. Please describe any additional services or goods provided by government in support of the NSDI for which individual users are not charged. No cases found.
