Data and Security Explored in California
Federal Computer Week looks at data and security in a story (Putting security on the map) about a dispute over county data in California.
Santa Clara County has recently decided to put a temporary stop to their sale of county GIS data. They have asked homeland security officials to review the data for security concerns. Some critics suggest that the move is an attempt to avoid a lawsuit to win free data access for citizens.
The story recaps the on-going data-access vs. data-security discussion that the industry has had over the last few years. It includes links to the FGDC's Access Guidelines PDF.
