Business Models Information and Ad sales - Google is available at no cost for search and for visualization of earth information. Google is supported by advertising and sale of collected information. Facebook has the same model.

Product (Document) Sales - Standards organizations (IEEE, ISO, etc.) sell standards documents and rely on volunteers and corporate participation to formulate standards.

Corporate Support - OGC has a membership model with fees for participation (different levels are available) and relies on volunteers.

- The Open Source Initiative is moving from a volunteer base to a member/affiliate base. They focus on licenses. The financial base comes from corporate sponsors.

Business Models “Software as a Service” (SAS) Model

Companies provide a mixture of base and enhanced services. Wikipedia defines a similar freemium model -“Freemium is a pricing strategy by which a product or service (typically a digital offering such as software, media, games or web services) is provided free of charge, but money (premium) is charged for proprietary features, functionality, or virtual goods

- Model can work through individual sales or large scale subscriptions.

- Examples: WordPress has an open source component (wordpress.org) and a service component (wordpress.com) The latter offers enhanced services for fee. Redhat follows the same model.

Government Funding - GEOSS solicits support from governments for their secretariat operations, both in funds and in staff assignments..

- Pan-European research Infrastructures provide an information service based on government grants.

Use Cases International repositories: ICSU WDS

o ( Michael Diepenbroek, Mustapha Mokrane) interested in coordination of 50 members of WDS – there were challenges Metadata catalog was part of a certification process for member infrastructures. Metadata catalogs are not standard – now working on portal update; use brokering to extend framework – prefer open source project

Environmental sciences: European Commission Danube SDI o (Max Craglia) 19 countries in the basin, EU regional development strategy,

include both EU and non-EU countries.

Global Changes: GEO-BON o (Wim Hugo/Tobias Spears) – Leipzig meeting will define broker interface of 7

data families for biodiversity to reach across data families – persistent reuse (into GBIF), brokering instructions will be reusable – moving to common practices

SIOS (Svalbard Integrated Observation System) (Bente Lye) Four Country Arctic agreement for data resources, communication
