LAST WORDS• There is a rapidly growing demand for efficient access
to fundamental spatial data
• There are a number of good examples of public and
private spatial data clearinghouses around the world
• A national clearinghouse will need to involve both
public and private sectors, and will need to link to
regional and global implementations
• There is need for technologists to stop talking to
themselves and understand the speech of the policy
