Abstract:
The purpose of Data.gov is to increase public access to high value, machine readable data sets generated by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. Although the initial launch of Data.gov provides a limited portion of the rich variety of Federal data sets presently available, we invite you to actively participate in shaping the future of Data.gov by suggesting additional data sets and site enhancements to provide seamless access and use of your Federal data.
Description:
The GeoSpatial One-Stop portal is a U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sponsored initiative with a goal to promote and develop improved access to geographic information throughout local, state and federal governments.
