Title: Otevřený software a otevřená data – nasazení v geoinformatice
Description: In recent years, the field of open data and software has seen a significant shift not only in technological tools, but also in the legal and institutional framework that supports data sharing and access. While the principle of open source software has had its supporters and a strong market position for decades, the principle of real open data was previously more of a theoretical framework (or wish) and its real deployment the preserve of individuals or visionaries. There is a misconception that open software or open data can replace expensive commercial solutions for free, free does not always mean free. Minimizing financial costs is usually the'most popular'aspect, but a comprehensive view of the issue brings a variety of other, less important aspects. After studying these scripts, the reader should have a comprehensive understanding of the objectives and principles, correctly identify specific concepts, and be able to analyze and compare the advantages, disadvantages and specifics when choosing between proprietary and open solutions. While the present scripts provide insight into issues primarily addressed in the context of geoinformatics and related disciplines, in general terms, the text is for anyone interested in insight into the principles and operation of open systems, regardless of the discipline being studied. Therefore, it does not contain any detailed overview of tools, descriptions of (more or less obsolete) software, or specific tutorials or practical exercises.
