Biography
Bastiaan van Loenen (associate professor) holds a PhD from Delft University of Technology, and a M.Sc. from The University of Maine ( Spatial Information Science and Engineering) and TU Delft (Geodetic Engineering). Bastiaan is chairing the Knowledge Center Open Data at the Faculty of Architecture and The Built Environment.
Research
Main focus is on open data: the stimulation of re-use of public sector geo-information (PSGI). Other research interests include the development and assessment of Spatial data infrastructures (SDI), the assessment of access and re-use policies and legal aspects of geographic information (e.g., location privacy, harmonising licenses, intellectual property rights).Bastiaan chairs the Geo-information infrastructure committee of the Dutch Geodetic Commission, was chair of the legal and socio-economic committee of the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association (GSDI) (2011-2015), participated as an expert in the European Legal Aspects of Public Sector Information 2.0 project, the INSPIRE State of Play project and in the eSDInet+ project, and has advised several European countries on INSPIRE implementation.
Current projects are the H2020 Marie Curie European Training Network project Towards a sustainable Open Data ECOsystem (ODECO), H2020 Twinning Open Data Operational (TODO) and the Erasmusplus project SPIDER: open SPatial data Infrastructure eDucation nEtwoRk.
Among his publication are the co-edited books Open Data Exposed (2018), SDI Convergence; Research, Emerging Trends, and Critical Assessment (2009), A Multi-View Framework to Assess Spatial Data Infrastructures (2008) and Spatial data infrastructure and policy development in Europe and the United States (2004).
