Data Openness

Data Openness is all about opening the vast data gathered by various govenment agencies by different methods (land survey, aerial survey, satellite remote sensing, space shuttle remote sensing etc)to all public. Freely, without any restrictions in use.

These data are usually not at all available for common public for any price, due to security reasons. Or at an atrocious, unaccepable price.

These data enables us to know about our sorroundings, out environment, in dealing with natural disasters, and many other things.

This data should be opened up.
