A key goal of the Geospatial Platform is to expand the use and understanding of National geospatial resources. Active social interaction plays an important role in sharing vital, timely knowledge to keep our collective data, content and services fresh and engaging. The more you participate and contribute, the better the GeoPlatform.gov experience becomes for everyone.
The GeoPlatformArcGIS Online (AGOL) organization account provides enhanced web capabilities. Federal partners are able to publish their data as services with no size restrictions. The GeoPlatform builds on AGOL services with the harvesting capability of the GeoPlatform Map Manager.
Search the Data.gov catalog of geospatial data and tools provided by a multitude of federal agencies. Whether you are a Geographic Professional, Student, Teacher or Citizen, you can find data that will help you with your project, assignment, presentation or concern.
The Marketplace facilitates collaboration on the planned acquisition and production of geospatial data, such as elevation and bathymetric datasets. You can use this filtered catalog search to determine whether a potential partner is already planning to invest in data for which you have a requirement.
Web services play a key role in any open platform experience. GeoPlatform.gov provides this experience in two ways:
There are many apps and services already available for use and many more to come in the future!
Sign up to access thousands of datasets uploaded by others and contribute your own data to the world! You can also share your expertise and find experts to help with your geospatial data needs by joining one of our Communities. Submit your metadata to Data.gov and we’ll add it to GeoPlatform so others can use it.
