GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS, OPEN SOURCE PHILOSOPHY AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER. OPPORTUNITIES AND PERSPECTIVES
Journal Title: FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA - Year 2015, Vol 57, Issue 2
Abstract
In the presented paper we dedicate opportunities and perspectives of connection among geographical information systems (GIS), open source philosophy and technology transfer in context of triple helix. In the first part of article we focus on the main theoretical principles of GIS, open source philosophy and we try to conceptualize the term of open source GIS technology transfer, which we understand as the process of transferring skills, knowledge, technologies and their methods to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users who can then further develop and exploit the technology into new products, processes, applications, materials or services. Further we see the term as cooperation of university, private sector and government towards to the concept of triple helix. Therefore using this concept we try to suggest a theoretical framework of triple helix geographical space with an emphasis on open source. The last part of article looks more closely at one of the possible application of the proposed framework in practice
