Monetising SDIs

... eLicensing and ePayment for Spatial Services

SDI Value Chain

Spatial information is valuable

> even if it‘s for free!

Spatial information can be used for commercial products

> it‘s raw material for spatial products, applications, etc.

Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) are the distribution network

> moving the raw and semi-finished products from the producer to the user

If value is created along the value chain, there is a need for metering and accounting!

And spatial information is heterogeneous!

> It‘s not sufficient to summarise what is taken from and given to the network

Basic Assumptions

Homogenious good

Producers measure their output

Users measure their consumption

Only balance is determined

Actual origin of product does not matter

=> Unlike SDIs!

SDIs are classical value chains

Along the value chain, raw materials are assemled to semi-finished and finally to end products

Each step adds value, so each step may need individual accounting

Value Chains

Interoperability

Find the right content!•Product catalogs•Search tools•…

Technical integration•Standards•Services•…

Legal agreements•Negotiate contracts?•Sign papers?•…

Status quo of SDIs ensures technical interoperability

Applying business aspects

> must not break technical interoperability

> must ensure immediate workflows

> must support existing technology

> must solve all business requirements (terms and conditions, prices, rights and duties, ...)

cf. INSPIRE Data & Service Sharing Implementing Rules:

> Convey legal terms and conditions

> Transparency of charges

> Licence creation without delay

Applying Business Aspects to SDIs

Protection aspect

> Services are protected against unlicenced access

> If a valid licence is provided, access is granted

> If the licence includes restrictions (e. g. spatial, content, …), these have to be enforced

Conclusion aspect

> Licence offer

> Licence agreement

Management aspect

> Maintenance of existing licences

> Accounting

eLicensing of Geo Services

Why is spatial special?

Data Sharing in SDIs

> Price

Geo products

> Geographic extent

> Layers

> Data format

> Price formula, with regard to the parameters

> Download or service

Product Aspects

Be generic

> Support different business models

> Click-through vs. configurable licenses

> Free of charge vs. flat rate vs. pay-per-use

> Pre-paid vs. post-paid

> General access vs. user-specific access vs. license configuration-based access

> Provide an easy-to-use workflow to

> clearly convey license terms

> allow easy license conclusion

> give immediate access

> limit access to license terms

Challenges for Licensing Solutions

How eBusiness is implemented in license.manager

licenseManager Deployment

Licence description (What is it all about?)

Terms and conditions (What is allowed? What is not?)

Configuration options (Customise your licence)

Access rights (How can you access the service?)

Price models (What do you have to pay?)

Elements of Licence Models
