| Impact of the PSI Directive on the Business | The PSI Directive has had a huge impact on the opportunities to source raw data. Some years ago, geodata was very expensive. The new pricing models have led to a substantial increase of economic activities in this field. Many companies could buy geodata and produce new value-added data (PSI Re-Use), which other companies could use. The company realise, that a lot of companies have been set up in field of Business GIS. Lower prices and accessibility encouraged companies to launch their own Business Geographic Information Systems (GIS). |
