NRCan/CCMEO Presents Gov Open Maps Portal at April GoGeomatics Networking Social
April 10, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Andrew Moore is the Project Manager of the Federal Geospatial Platform (FGP). (The biggest thing in open data in Canada!)
Two years ago Andrew Moore gave us a talk on the planned Federal Geospatial Platform (FGP) initiative. It’s live now!
That being said, GoGeomatics has invited Andrew back to update us on the FGP and the Open Government Mapping Portal. He will discuss the technology, data, work that has gone into creating Canada’s open geospatial hub, and the lessons learned.
Join us for this fun free networking event where we share a drink and talk about spatial tech.
What is the FGP?
The FGP is an initiative of the Federal Committee on Geomatics and Earth Observations (FCGEO), a group of 21 federal departments and agencies that are producers and/or consumers of geospatial data, or have an interest in geomatics-related activities, requirements and infrastructure. The FGP supports the Open Government initiative and supports the evolution of the open data portal. Through collaboration and integration with open.canada.ca (http://open.canada.ca/en), the FGP will help Canadians through enhanced search, visualisation and access to open geospatial data.
