ArcGIS Is a Complete Platform for Open Data
ArcGIS Is a
Complete Platform for Open Data
Agencies and
organizations at all levels of government are increasingly conscious that being
transparent and open will make them more effective and efficient. To expand the
number of smart communities in the United States and around the world, the
White House and other national governments are calling for government agencies
to share more information. Open data fosters trust by promoting constituent
engagement and provides validation that equitable and appropriate development
is being done.
As agencies start down the path of creating an open
data strategy, they typically realize that the GIS department is the most
mature, experienced, and prepared team to build powerful information services
and make data accessible to different communities. Tens of thousands of
government-based GIS teams use ArcGIS as their system of record, so the
platform is already integrated with agencies' enterprise and operations
systems. This is beneficial, since ArcGIS is a complete open data solution as
well.
Open Data at No Extra Cost
Too often, it is assumed that making data open and
available to the public is expensive, complicated, and not very advantageous.
Executives deem that forming and executing an open data strategy involves a
long process of acquisition, installation, and operational work that burdens
already busy IT groups that are just striving to get through their day-to-day
work and respond rapidly to unexpected occurrences.
However, many organizations are realizing that
ArcGIS is an exhaustive solution for open data. When combined with the rest of
Esri's mapping platform, it can be used to support business development,
collaborate with other governments, and tell stories that really engage
citizens. The data services already available in ArcGIS can be reused to share
integrated, sustainable, and effective data with the public.
ArcGIS Open Data is included with ArcGIS Online at no
extra cost. It requires only a few minutes to enable, build, and publish an
open data site. Organizations can create as many open data sites as they need,
as well as configure and design them. For example, an organization can have a
main ArcGIS Open Data site along with other open data sites for individual
agencies, specific initiatives and events, or even local neighborhoods.
