The future of open data
summary
Describes a geospatial data publishing platform (Coordinates) that moves government data from zipped, proprietary, or broken WMS files into reliable, consumable data as a product with APIs, projection transforms and usage metrics. Shares a concrete failure: an authoritative marine reserve map in Fiji proves wrong, and a success: a dataset owner shifts from 30 DVDs per month to 26,000 views and 30,000 downloads in one year, showing the platform raises discoverability, usability and uptime and enables synchronized, filtered data supply chains.
