The interactive data preview capability

The capability provides real benefits for GIS specialists and non-technical users alike. Alongside each spatial dataset’s description, a map visualisation allows you to zoom and pan spatial data to better understand what is available.

When download is not a convenient option, the data preview and access to technical attributes and metadata can help users decide whether it’s fit for purpose.

Previews are enabled for 1038 Web Map Service (WMS), GeoJSON, and Keyhole Markup Language (KML) records.

The teams at DataVic and DTV with CSRIO’s Data61 joined forces on this technical collaboration to provide users with a fully integrated experience while re-using existing government technology.
