use happens when the final user will reuse licenced resources to create a direct or indirect<br />
gain, and this category includes ‘pure commercial use’ and ‘professional services’.<br />
The first one means a direct financial gain arising from reuse of resources: for example<br />
a company that acquires a data set to resell them. ‘Professional services’ refer to professional<br />
use, in which there is an indirect gain, because professionals reuse resources<br />
during their activities and receive fees: for instance, an architect using licenced information<br />
to create a master plan.<br />
Non-commercial use refers to reuse activities not producing direct financial gain. This<br />
category includes internal use, teaching use, spreading use, research use and institutional<br />
use. The definition of ‘internal use’ refers to a reuse of licenced resources for internal<br />
use only, in which the customer can manipulate geo information for internal archives<br />
but cannot disseminate the resultant products in the public domain. ‘Teaching<br />
use’ includes the reuse for educational activities and ‘spreading use’ refers to spreading<br />
activities such as meetings, exhibitions or free publications. Reuse activities related<br />
to research refer to ‘research use’ and ‘institutional use’ including reuse in public authorities<br />
activities and projects.<br />
For each use category (commercial and non-commercial), including sub-categories,<br />
three levels of reuse exist:<br />
1. non modified product: end user displays and makes query on licenced product without<br />
modifying it;<br />
2. value added product: the product is developed by the end user and contains information<br />
from the licenced product in addiction to other new information;<br />
3. new product: the product is developed by the end user and does not contain information<br />
from the licenced product, but only other new information.<br />
The third column describes ‘access conditions’ such as user types or use rights related<br />
to display and download. User types category includes ‘free access’, when end user<br />
accesses and obtains resources without personal identification, and ‘registered access’,<br />
in the case of personal identification of the end user. Registered access contains<br />
the following sub-categories: professional, public administration bodies, heritage and<br />
educational area, law enforcement agencies. Other kinds of access conditions refer to<br />
on-screen display, download, format and distribution to third parties, which content provider<br />
decides to permit or not to final user. Concerning resource price content providers<br />
may opt for:<br />
(a) a cash fee: data owner may establish a cash fee for each allowable information<br />
item;<br />
(b) a service fee: data owner may establish a service fee instead of a cash fee. Data<br />
owner asks the final user to return updated information item;<br />
(c) a mixed fee: data owner may establish both a cash and a service fee.<br />
Concerning constraints, the access conditions sub-category defines user obligations in<br />
terms of publications and diffusion via web. In this case, users reusing licenced information<br />
for publications or diffusion via web must respect strict obligations:<br />
(a) copyright labels: data users must use a copyright label referring to the licensor’s<br />
copyright;<br />
(b) communications concerning publication conditions: data users must inform information<br />
providers about information publication methods, specifying the amount and the<br />
typology (publications, domain addresses or applications);<br />
