IP's didn't really exist, so when you're trying to create something accurate it's hard to prove it's yours without 'de-creating' some of it. The extent of plagiarism in the paper era is what led to misinformation within maps.
I’m interested to hear from the rest of the community as this is a topic that appears from time to time: what are your thoughts on this? This should make sense, correct? However, it is not always that simple! An organization may contract data as the deliverable to be used internally within a GIS and if we think of something like a road network being supplied with any inconvenience, even a misspelled street name, could have serious ramifications. That is why you see these more commonly in products delivered by a contractor rather than a product produced internally by an organization’s own GIS department. You can imagine the troubles false data could cause. A GIS can be used to produce infinite products and deliverables from paper maps to digital navigation and data capture. In terms of a GIS - it is difficult to provide a system that has in it misinformation and market it as dependable to organizations that are heavy-reliant on it as an authoritative source of truth. The industry, if you look at the leading providers of GIS data and applications, struggle with the balancing act of providing accurate mission-critical deliverables with protecting their IP. What is interesting (as you posted it in this sub) is how paper features have affected GIS, if you accept the acronym as Geographic Information System. I used to have a whole discussion day dedicated to this topic each semester for the 101’s.Īcademics chastise the practice for the intentional creation of misinformation whereas the practicality of the approach is evident in its proliferation.
You have stumbled onto a neat little bit of history.
