FINDINGS

  • Many Data Affected by Limits. Many types of information proposed to be available through an NDIN will be affected by access and/or disclosure limitations.

  • Precise Limits Not Defined. Need to know more about the features and intended uses of the network.

  • Lessons from Other Fields. Lessons for accommodating data access and disclosure limitations associated with an NDIN may be available from other fields, such as GIS.

  • Complexities and Inconsistencies. The current array of federal, state, and local laws, regulations and practices that limit data access and disclosure is highly complex, and not always consistent.

  • International Implications. Unresolved international intellectual property proposals, as well as privacy protection conventions, may have significant impact on U.S. practices.
