GIS Data Dictionary Updates


1/30/20252 weeks ago

We've added several new items to our GIS Data Dictionary pages to make them even more useful.

For layers that are available in ArcGIS Online:

  • There is now a link in the Purpose section to an ArcGIS Online Mapviewer map with the layer added (1). You can use this to get a visual preview of the layer or create a new map with the layer pre-loaded.
  • There is now a link in the Download Layer Data section to the layer's item details page in ArcGIS Online (2). From there you can export the data in a variety of formats, open the layer using various Esri tools, and more.

For data layers that are available as GeoJSON on GitHub:

  • There is now a link in the Download Layer Data section to the layer's location in our GitHub repository (3).

For all layers:

  • We added a License section for more clarity on the allowable use of the data (4).
