The Geospatial Platform Definition 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, for use by government agencies and partners to meet their mission needs and the broader needs of the Nation
Vision All government agencies and their partners have access to geospatial capabilities to meet mission needs, ensure transparency and accountability, and geo-enable the business of government 3
Geospatial Platform Conceptual Model
Streamlined Access to Resources
Improved Business Processes and Outcomes

Data.gov geo-enhancements Data.gov with Geo enhancements
Enable search discovery of data.gov catalog items (datasets, map services, catalogs) using location: Geographic coordinates, proximity, place names etc…
Allows for spatial visualization of existing map services and catalog metadata: Evaluate data for appropriateness of use
Improves harvesting with geo intelligence Make metadata more discoverable and useable 17
