Tracey - Thank you for your note pointing to the on-line text of the
document titled The Dissemination of Government Geographic Data in Canada -
Guide to Best Practices highlighting that section 4.3.4
Provincial/Territorial Statutory and Policy Constraints on Disposition of
Crown Intellectual Property is incomplete.

Unfortunately, Version 1.2 of the "Best Practices Guide" (published in
Winter 2005 as available on the website) was never completed with input from
CCOG.

A new version of the "Best Practices Guide" (Version 2.0) will be available
in the next couple of weeks.  Version 2.0 does not include any information
with respect to provincial and territorial statutes or policies so
unfortunately I cannot assist you with any Province of Ontario information.

Version 2 is an update of Version 1.2 to include some of the changes in
technologies and licensing of federal government geographic data that has
transpired since Version 1.2. A Working Group comprised of representatives
from several federal agencies, provincial governments, industry and the
Department of Justice Canada have spent the past 2 years updating the
document and multiple license templates that are included.

I suggest that this version of the Best Practices Guide will be an excellent
tool for persons interested in licensing of federal geomatics data including
copyright and IP clauses.

The intention of the Working Group is to use the Info-GeoConnections email
bulletin service to notify the community of the on-line release of Version
2.0 of The Dissemination of Government Geographic Data in Canada - Guide to
Best Practices through the Geo-Connections website. I assume you receive
these bulletins as a subscriber, but if not, please visit
http://www.geoconnections.org/en/subscribeForm so that you do not miss first
notice of the release of Version 2.0.

I hope this is helpful.

Greetings Jeannine;

I was reading over the THE DISSEMINATION OF GOVERNMENT GEOGRAPHIC DATA IN
CANADA GUIDE TO BEST PRACTICES (
http://www.geoconnections.org/publications/Best_practices_guide/html/toc_e.html).
 I was looking for information regarding the Province of Ontario and
discovered that the following section was incomplete.  Do you know if there
has been any follow-up from CCOG's working group?  Also, is there a federal
expert or working group that citizens can consult regarding geomatics
licensing, copyright, IP etc.?


4.3.4    Provincial/Territorial Statutory and Policy Constraints on
Disposition of Crown Intellectual Property


[TO COMPLETE WITH INPUT FROM CCOG WORKING GROUP]

Sincerely
Tracey
