47 chapter six CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH CONCLUSIONS This synthesis was intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of current and effective practice in sharing geographic information and related resources between airports and public agencies. It describes the means by which airports and public agencies exchange information, and identifies challenges many have faced while doing so as well as measures that they have found successful in overcoming these challenges.

48 Costs • Staff time spent preparing and fulfilling requests for data • Costs of hardware and software required to establish a data repository • Time spent and travel costs of attending collaborative forums and meetings • Lack of control or influence over shared data resources or derivative products • Legal liability, both real and perceived. This synthesis indicates that there is an obvious movement toward open data exchange and leveraging technology through web-based services that make it easier to find, identify, obtain, and use information available from other organizations.

49 There are many reasons for this gap, but participants in the study suggested that the greater challenges are organizational rather than technical ones, many of can be addressed relatively easily by applying newer technologies, especially web or "cloud"-based options. The following are the primary challenges hindering data exchange between airports and public agencies identified by study participants.
