OpenGeo for Government
Help your organization meet its open government goals
How will your organization meet its open government goals? OpenGeo can help you take specific actions to implement the principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration required by the Open Government Directive.
OpenGeo provides a path to transparency through the OpenGeo Suite — robust software for publishing geospatial information. The OpenGeo Suite allows agencies to cost-effectively provide citizens with government data via powerful web maps. With the reduced costs of scaling enabled by OpenGeo Suite software, more and more government data can be displayed to citizens.
Agencies have the option to not just let citizens see government data, but to easily access data layers, documentation and working examples. Then citizens can build their own applications around agency data, and crowd-source additional information to participate in governance and help governments make policies with the benefit of information that is widely dispersed in society.
Finally, OpenGeo Suite software is standards compliant, fostering collaboration that encourages partnerships and promotes cooperation within the Federal Government, across levels of government, and between governments and private institutions.
Promoting open government is part of our core mission, and OpenGeo Suite software is built to be open from the start.
