  1. Monetising SDIs... eLicensing and ePayment for Spatial Services Rüdiger Gartmann, on behalf of Andreas Wytziskcon terra GmbH, Münster, Germany

  2. SDI Value Chain

  3. Basic Assumptions • Spatial information is valuable • even if it‘s for free! • Spatial information can be used for commercial products • it‘s raw material for spatial products, applications, etc. • Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) are the distribution network • moving the raw and semi-finished products from the producer to the user • If value is created along the value chain, there is a need for metering and accounting! • And spatial information is heterogeneous! • It‘s not sufficient to summarise what is taken from and given to the network

  4. Power Networks • Homogeniousgood • Producers measuretheiroutput • Users measuretheirconsumption • Onlybalanceisdetermined • Actualoriginofproductdoes not matter => Unlike SDIs!

  5. Value Chains • SDIs are classical value chains • Along the value chain, raw materials are assemled to semi-finished and finally to end products • Each step adds value, so each step may need individual accounting

  6. Interoperability • Find therightcontent! • Productcatalogs • Search tools • … • Technical integration • Standards • Services • … • Legal agreements • Negotiatecontracts? • Signpapers? • …

  7. Applying Business Aspects to SDIs • Status quo of SDIs ensures technical interoperability • Applying business aspects • must not break technical interoperability • must ensure immediate workflows • must support existing technology • must solve all business requirements (terms and conditions, prices, rights and duties, ...) • cf. INSPIRE Data & Service Sharing Implementing Rules: • Convey legal terms and conditions • Transparency of charges • Licence creation without delay

  8. eLicensing of Geo Services • Protectionaspect • Services areprotectedagainstunlicencedaccess • If a valid licenceisprovided, accessisgranted • Ifthelicenceincludesrestrictions (e. g. spatial, content, …), thesehavetobeenforced • Conclusionaspect • Licenceoffer • Licenceagreement • Management aspect • Maintenance ofexistinglicences • Accounting

  9. Data Sharing in SDIs Why is spatial special? 

  10. Product Aspects • Books • Price • Geo products • Geographic extent • Layers • SRS • Data format • Price formula, with regard to the parameters • Download or service • ...

  11. Challenges for Licensing Solutions • Be generic • Support different business models • Click-through vs. configurable licenses • Free of charge vs. flat rate vs. pay-per-use • Pre-paid vs. post-paid • General access vs. user-specific access vs. license configuration-based access • Provide an easy-to-use workflow to • clearly convey license terms • allow easy license conclusion • give immediate access • limit access to license terms

  12. How eBusiness is implemented in license.manager

  13. licenseManager Deployment

  14. Elements of Licence Models • Licence description (What is it all about?) • Terms and conditions (What is allowed? What is not?) • Configuration options (Customise your licence) • Access rights (How can you access the service?) • Price models (What do you have to pay?) optional

  15. WMS 1 WFS Users and roles 2 WFS-T 3 WCS Registerservices Definition of licence and pricemodels license.manager Administration Workflow

  16. Licence Conclusion Workflow • Select a service

  17. License Configuration

  18. License Acceptance

  19. Confirmation
