Rich,
While communicating with a colleague Down Under last night, I thought of
another reason why municipalities should charge certain users for GIS data.
In this part of Colorado there was tremendous urban growth until the economy
soured recently. I would guess that ten houses a day were built in counties
such as Douglas and Arapahoe, and 5-6 a day in JeffCO. Parcel splits were
probably posted to databases nightly as GIS specialists worked during the
day to maintain up-to-date data.
Well, if these counties wanted to provide good customer service to their
user communities then they would either notify the people and organizations
that purchased data from them or they would download the data automatically
to subscribers. All the county GIS departments would need to do is create
triggers based on spatial queries of the GIS data. The GIS could extract
data according to the requirements of the subscribers or download the entire
database on a schedule paid for by the subscriber.
The cost of providing this service to such users as developers and private
land development companies should be borne by that user community. Some
costs will eventually be passed onto the public at some point but according
to other user criteria.
