NSDI | Shared Infrastructure
Our ability to harness the power of placed-based information relies on having access to a reliable, sustainable infrastructure to connect, share, and use data with local to global participants.
How will we connect and share place-based information?
To efficiently share and deliver this diverse information, the NSDI has developed the Geospatial Platform portal (www.geoplatform.gov). It allows online co-creation of place-based resources for discovery, access, and use in response to the needs of diverse communities. The Geospatial Platform delivers new services and tools to participants with a need for place-based information.
The NSDI enables the integration of emerging technologies that connect people, data, and technology through the Geospatial Platform to provide:
- Place-based education
- Audience-based products and services
- Place-based community collaboration forums
- Visual solutions for understanding and decision-making
- Applications, tools, and services
To advance place-based understanding, we need to connect people, data, technology, and services. This transforms the way all organizations and nations address complex issues facing us now and in the future. The NSDI continues to advance and accelerate the use of emerging place-based solutions that connect people, data, and technology.
Together we will:
- Build local to global partnerships
- Expand access to place-based data
- Provide a platform to deliver products and services
- Encourage collaboration and innovation
The Geospatial Platform links people and communities of interest and provides applications, tools, products, and services. These services are accessed by local, national, and global users every day.
