Public-Private Partnerships for Data Sharing: A Dynamic Environment
Abstract
This report presents a RAND analysis of public-private partnerships focused on data sharing. Many different practical case studies, models of data sharing partnering, were analyzed to understand differences and similarities in the practical approaches to data sharing, especially geospatial data sharing. This report can provide useful information to federal policy makers about how to more effectively partner with non-federal partners. It should also be of interest to state and local governments, non-governmental organizations, researchers, and others who are interested in data sharing partnerships, especially those with interests in geospatial data. This research was originally sponsored by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) through RAND's Science and Technology Policy Institute. Originally created by Congress in 1991 as the Critical Technologies Institute and renamed in 1998, the Science and Technology Policy Institute is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the National Science Foundation and managed by RAND. The Institute's mission is to help improve public policy by conducting objective, independent research and analysis on policy issues that involve science and technology.
