GISCafe Voice Posts Tagged ‘GeoPlatform.gov’More on GeoPlatform.govWednesday, July 21st, 2010A reader wrote in to ask if the data from GeoPlatform.gov was to be served up free of charge, as it isn’t clear from the website whether that is the case. If anyone knows the answer to this, please respond. http://www10.giscafe.com/blogs/gissusan/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=539 GeoPlatform.gov promises near-real time informationThursday, July 15th, 2010“The partner agencies of the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) are developing a Geospatial Platform to more effectively provide place-based products and services to the American public. The Geospatial Platform will be a managed portfolio of common geospatial data, services, and applications contributed and administered by authoritative sources and hosted on a shared infrastructure.” On another page of this website, GeoPlatform.gov/gulfresponse offers examples of how NOAA with the EPA, U.S. Coast Guard, and the Department of Interior integrated up-to-date information about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill’s trajectory with wildlife information, place-based locations of oiled shoreline and the positions of research ships into one map. GeoPlatform.gov/gulfresponse utilizes the Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA®) a web-based GIS platform developed by NOAA and the University of New Hampshire’s Coastal Response Research Center. This may be a useful venue for volunteer geographic information (VGI). |
