Feel it should be owned by the jurisdiction from which it was gathered. Disclaimers are usually meaningless when it comes to liability. AccessNS asks for permission to distribute info from each dept contacted. Their databases contain corporate and municipal info as well. Legislation can inhibit flow of info.
Larger issue is the public perception.
Will be putting out omnibus survey questions to find out what the public feels about data transfer issues and privacy. Need a smoother flow of info from transactional point. Privacy Group has looked at integration and standards issues. Especially cost avoidance issues. Civic transactional addresses would be useful as well.
