ArcGIS provides a framework for informing and engaging audiences within and outside your organization, allowing everyone to communicate through maps. Organizations, governments and the public alike can actively collaborate and strengthen communities through maps that users can easily create and share using ArcGIS. This sharing extends to the Open Data movement as well.
The concept of Open Data is one component that helps foster relationships and provides others with open access to their authoritative data. Organizations configure a website with their own look and feel and specify Open Data groups to share specific items. The general public can use Open Data sites to search by topic or location, download data in multiple formats, and view data on an interactive map and in a table. This presentation will cover topics related to open data and how these data foster relationship across a wide variety of groups allowing for a collective voice around topics of interest to the community from local to global.
