Details

This system uses machine learning to automatically find and catalogue publicly available geospatial web services — such as maps and data feeds — across the .ca internet domain and Arctic region. It helps Natural Resources Canada understand which standards-based geospatial services exist as part of Canada's national geospatial data infrastructure. The system is operated by a third-party vendor (Spatineo) on behalf of the department. Users are generally not informed that this AI system is in operation.
