Homepage of Bastiaan van Loenen

Currently my main focus is on open data: the stimulation of re-use of public sector geo-information (PSGI). Other research interests include the development and assessment of Spatial data infrastructures (SDI), the assessment of access and re-use policies and legal aspects of geographic information (e.g., location privacy, harmonising licenses, intellectual property rights). Of special interest is the concept of the open (data) city where citizens, companies and government together, with equal information positions, design and develop the city of the future.

Bastiaan chairs the Geo-information infrastructure committee of the Dutch Geodetic Commission, was chair of the legal and socio-economic committee of the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association (GSDI) (2011-2015), participated as an expert in the European Legal Aspects of Public Sector Information 2.0 project, the INSPIRE State of Play project and in the eSDInet+ project, and has advised several European countries on INSPIRE implementation. Van Loenen was in 2010 awarded the professor J.M. Tienstraprijs for most talented young Dutch researcher in the geo-sciences domain.

He has (co-)authored over a 100 publications including the co-editorship of Open Data Explored (2018), SDI Convergence; Research, Emerging Trends, and Critical Assessment (2009), A Multi-View Framework to Assess Spatial Data Infrastructures (2008) and Spatial data infrastructure and policy development in Europe and the United States (2004).
