I recently attended two symposiums (USEUCOM and C-Sigma - TEXAS V) where the subject of "Data Sharing" was discussed. As I looked around the room, it struck me that for different groups, the term “data sharing” conjures up very different feelings. From an Administration's perspective, Data Sharing means equal access between partners in order to further collaboration and advance the cause whether that cause is security, defense, ecological, meteorological, etc. But from the Data Provider’s perspective Data Sharing equals Bankruptcy!
