UAE Infrastructure Geo-Spatial Platform


Description

UAE Infrastructure Geospatial Platform is A “one‐stop shop” to deliver trusted, nationally consistent geospatial data and services. It provides a suite of well‐managed, highly available, and trusted geospatial data, services, and applications for use by the governments agencies and citizens.
THE MAJOR PURPOSES OF the platform ARE TO
1. Enable Federal agencies and their partners to publish and catalog interoperable web services for all geospatial data, including data identified as “nationally significant”
2. Enable Federal agencies and their partners to develop and share geospatial services and applications through the use of shared application hosting infrastructure and source code sharing capabilities;
3. Offer a mechanism through which Federal agencies can access and/or procure commercially licensed geospatial data and tools by leveraging shared infrastructure and common procurement mechanisms; and
4. Empower a new generation of geospatial collaboration by enabling users of all types to develop and share maps and services with data from trusted content along with user‐contributed data.

To enable these different capabilities fully in the site, a range of user accounts with varying privileges and access rights will be implemented.

Additionally, policies and procedures to support the provisioning and use of these accounts should be established and implemented.
