25 Permissive Licensing: Implementing a permissive license like OGL-Canada, allowing free use, modification, and distribution with proper attribution. Liability Disclaimer: Including disclaimers about data accuracy and liability, clarifying that data is provided "as is" and disclaims responsibility for errors or omissions. Continuous Improvement: Regularly reviewing and updating data and policies to align with best practices and user needs. By adopting these lessons, Malaysia can enhance openness, accountability, and user-centricity in our geospatial data initiatives, benefiting researchers, policymakers, businesses, and the public. “ “ Malaysia can enhance its open geospatial data services by adopting best practices from the U.S., Canada, and Switzerland, which emphasise public accessibility. Discussions and Conclusion Malaysia can enhance its open geospatial data services by adopting best practices from the U.S., Canada, and Switzerland, which emphasise public accessibility. Implementing these methodologies could reduce costs and increase e ciency. However, this study has certain limitations. It does not include a comparison of Malaysia's economic situation with those countries, which may impact investment in geospatial data. Furthermore, it lacks an analysis of data sales and security policies, as well as feedback from Malaysian data users. Future research should examine the economic impact of data accessibility, evaluate policies in the REFERENCES; Craglia, M., Shanley, L., & Nativi, S. (2012).
