ABSTRACT

This study formulates a strategy for commercial utilization of the public sector information(PSI) to promote efficient provision and effective utilization of information. Models for commercialization of the PSI are suggested in consideration of the life cycle perspectives and the commercial arrangements of the PSI. As to the life cycle perspectives, three stages of commercialization - Funding, Cost Recovery, and Revenue Generation - are proposed based on the analysis of cost structure and the economic viability of the public sector information. This paper also considers various types of commercialization scheme and suggests four types of business arrangement for commercialization of the PSI as a sustainable mechanism. Reviewing the literature on the major countries and organizations relevant to commercialization of the PSI, we examine each of four types of commercialization arrangement in the context of an information resource life cycle along a value chain of the PSI. The study also identifies key issues such as copyright and suggests relevant policies for PSI commercialization such as pricing scheme, related legal and institutional requirements. The suggestions in this study can be the foundation for further detailed researches and practical policies regarding the PSI commercialization.
