GeoDRM is needed for legitimate open data collection communities.

If you want to set up a Geographic Wiki, where users can edit, update and maintain geographic data, you have 2 options: 1. Let everyone change data (which is likely to include intentionally and unintentionally corrupt data).

2. Set up a trust system where only trusted users can validate data or enter certain features.

Both cases will have their uses and both will promote open geographic data.

What have authentication and authorisation got to do with DRM?
