Preferred term

data access policies  

Definition

  • Data access policies are important to the development of GIS and related applications because they affect the extent to which data resources are available, under what conditions, and by whom. They should be a subset of broader information policies, that is, policies that articulate the role of information for an organization and define processes for its creation, dissemination, use, and maintenance.
