According to McMillan, the principles < which have been developed by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) through a process of public consultation < recognise government information as a national resource that should be published for community access and use. "These Principles set out the central values of open public sector information that it be freely available, easily discoverable, understandable, machine-readable and reusable," McMillan said in a statement." ======= Bruce _______________________________________________ Aust-NZ mailing list aust...@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/aust-nz _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
