GeoDirectory definition
GeoDirectory means a database which contains all known postal addresses and geocodes in the Republic of Ireland, and which is formatted and stored according to an approved standard agreed by the Irish State Bodies. Each postal address on the database contains a unique Irish national grid reference in the form of “X” and “Y” co-ordinates approved by the Irish State Bodies. The GeoDirectory constitutes a collection of independent data and other materials which is arranged in a systematic or methodical way, which is individually accessible by electronic or other means, and the selection or arrangements of its contents constitutes the intellectual creation of the Irish State Bodies and is therefore protected by copyright pursuant to the provisions of the Database Directive. There has been and will continue to be both qualitatively and quantitatively a substantial investment by the Irish State Bodies in obtaining, verifying and presenting the contents of the “GeoDirectory” such that it qualifies for the Sui Generis Rights provided for in the Database Directive;
