GeoBase Principles
These are the fundamental principles that GeoBase operates under and that direct the decision making process on a regular basis:
- Source, regional and—where practical—national data all share the same geometry.
- GeoBase provides national data coverages.
- Source data is collected once and used by many.
- Source data is collected and maintained closest to source.
- The cost of maintenance and update is shared among the levels of government.
- All GeoBase data is available at no charge.
- GeoBase data has no restrictions on its subsequent use.
- GeoBase data uses a common license.

Famous quotes containing the word principles:
“In child rearing it would unquestionably be easier if a child were to do something because we say so. The authoritarian method does expedite things, but it does not produce independent functioning. If a child has not mastered the underlying principles of human interactions and merely conforms out of coercion or conditioning, he has no tools to use, no resources to apply in the next situation that confronts him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
