GSDI and Commerce

• A GSDI should support a “commerce” in data

  • Access to both institutional and commercial data should be supported by a GSDI “marketplace”
  • Electronic commerce mechanisms will need to exist; no one policy of pricing, copyright, intellectual property, or security is possible
  • Mechanisms that allow for exposure of these data into a GSDI framework with minimal effort will enable easy entry into the market for data

• A GSDI should support a “commerce” in services

  • Many entities will provide services to add value to the GSDI marketplace, if a concept of services is made possible

• If GSDI supports commerce, businesses will support GSDI
