Delivering Data for Yukon's Corporate Spatial Warehouse (CSW)
Three departments in the Yukon Government will publish location-based ("geospatial") information in 46 data layers through the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure, where it will be publicly accessible over the Internet. The data will be housed by the Corporate Spatial Warehouse (CSW), which hosts Yukon Government geospatial information.
Government employees and private-sector clients will be able to use the CSW web portal to make faster and more effective decisions. For example, analysis tools in the CSW will enable decision-makers to generate consistent reports and inform stakeholders about land, resource, and environmental activities on Crown and private land within the Yukon Territory. The CSW will also deliver a single access window to the Yukon Government's and other collaborating agencies' geospatial data, thereby eliminating duplicate services, redundant data sources, and inconsistent data presentation.
