OPEN DATA

A growing number of Public Administrations and private organization share their geographic data as open data with free use licences. Open data are a natural step forward of simple free databases sharing, because data and metadata are served as standard format and organized as standard framework, following international rules. These characteristics makes them be used directly inside other application softwares without human intervention. Open data, thanks to this characteristic, can be used, for example, from smartphones Apps, be reached by open data research engines and integrated inside open data geoportals.
