20 UK Implementation of the re-use of PSI Directive UK House of commons - Parliamentary Questions Question rd May May 2006: Column 1682W continued Ordnance Survey Mr. Pickles: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many requests Ordnance Survey has received for information under the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005; and how many requests were refused (a) in whole and (b) in part. [66231] Jim Fitzpatrick: Since the implementation of the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005 on 1 July last year, Ordnance Survey has received four requests under the legislation. One request was granted in full. In line with published guidance, the other three were treated as requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and were therefore not applicable under this legislation. There have been no refusals in whole or part by Ordnance Survey under the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005.

33 New PSI Associations - UK - January 2006 The objectives of LOCUS - Locus works to promote fair competition between the public and the private sectors, in particular in the use of Public Sector Information (PSI). - Locus represents organisations that use PSI from a number of sources, including the Environment Agency, Ordnance Survey, HM Land Registry and local authorities. - Locus is being established because its members recognise that PSI underpins the business models of many organisations in the UK s private sector. - Locus believes that private sector use of PSI has an important role to play towards fostering innovation, developing new and improved products and services, and ultimately contributing to the overall health of the UK economy and international competitiveness.

34 PSI Kick back! Petition Status Verified Signatures: 5398 Petition started: 14th February 2006 View signatures: here Declaration We the undersigned, ask Members of the European Parliament to adequately amend or, failing that, to reject the current draft of the INSPIRE Directive on European Spatial Data Infrastructure because it: Does not guarantee that European citizens and businesses can download and freely re-use Geographic Information collected by government. Instead it entrenches a policy of charging citizens for information they have already paid to collect, enforced by state copyright over geographic information. Given that: * Public Geographic Information is the bedrock of how civil society is managed in the information age. Free map data could enable a new generation of location-based technologies with enormous economic and social potential. Open access to geodata is the best way to ensure co-operation between Europe's government agencies on environmental and census data, and in other important fields. The INSPIRE Directive in its current form risks holding back the economic and social potential in maps and location-based technology in Europe by many years. Source Ref:
