The GeoPlatform is a strategic US national resource that supports the Administration's–Open Government, Open Data and Digital Government strategies to enhance transparency, collaboration, and participation. GeoPlatform provides a suite of managed, geospatial data, services, and applications for use by the public, industry, and federal, state, local, and tribal agencies to meet their mission needs.

This talk will focus on the recently redeveloped GeoPlatform.

GeoPlatform provides a searchable geospatial metadata catalog, access to geospatial data, integration with the GeoPlatform ArcGIS Online Enterprise Organization (AGOL), and a community-shared workspace dedicated to the work of individual agencies. GeoPlatform is the authorized source for all the official US National Geospatial Data Assets (NGDAs). The NGDAs are organized in 17 Data themes as guided by the U.S. Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC).

In 2020, GeoPlatform, operating under the authority of the Geospatial Data Act of 2018, redeveloped GeoPlatform to better meet the FAIR data principles to make data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
