| Description: |
By the millennium most government departments and businesses will rely on some sort of GIS to conduct their everyday activities. The power and speed of such a tool in planning, research and managing spatial databases is invaluable. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the legal implications of GIS are as convoluted as those raised by the Internet. This is already becoming a field which is stretching legal systems around the world to their limit. Users, practitioners, developers, and custodians of data need a clear guide. This book, avoiding technological and legal jargon, clarifies the issues of the rights, limitations, and responsabilities of GIS. "Geographic Information Systems and the law" addresses the legal relations between those who provide data and those who use the data. The analysis is illustrated by an international range of case material from the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. |
