Information and data are now the global currency in the 24/7 digital economy. The use of information and data for product and business process innovation across all sectors, including the public sector, has emerged as a primary engine of productivity and growth for national economies.

Today, the Federal Geospatial Platform (FGP) plays a key role in bringing together the Canadian government’s economic, social and environmental data to better support location-based decision-making on a range of complex issues, such as responsible resource development, environmental management, regulatory reviews, and safety and security.

This case study aims to identify the specific barriers to information sharing in the e-Government open data context, and describe the specific suite of open standards, frameworks and policies that were key to overcoming those barriers and enabling information interoperability and sharing for the Federal Geospatial Platform.

Enterprise Architecture techniques, and standards such as TOGAF® and ArchiMate® facilitated the enterprise transformation while leveraging a common platform of technical infrastructure, policies, standards and governance enabled the Government of Canada to make more high-quality, authoritative, and useable geospatial data available in open formats to support better services to Canadians.

Businesses, researchers, governments and individuals who generate, share or use geospatial information may benefit from understanding and adopting standards and policies that allow data to be used for many different applications.

Additionally, leveraging open standards to overcome barriers to interoperability is a universal topic that is of interest to many different organizations that are looking to increase the share-ability and value of their information assets, as interoperability can best be fostered through the consistent application of applicable principles and standards.
