6.6 York Regional Government GeoViewer
Screen Capture from York Region GeoView
The York Regional Government wanted everyone to be able to access information about the region
via the Internet. In addition, they wanted to enable quality decision-making through geospatial
information. Over the years, they deployed a number of informative Web sites that implemented
standards, data models, creation and scheduled maintenance of data, quality control processes and
documentation to ensure managed geospatial information was correct, current and complete.
The impressive, award-winning York Region Web site is operational and publicly available at
http://maps.york.ca/yorkexplorer/default.jsp. The publicly available Flash-based YRGeoView was
implemented in 2010 and is available at
http://ww3.yorkmaps.ca/yrGeo/yrGeoView/RegionalBase/index.html.
Numerous geographic data layers are available on the York Region Web site, which are provided
from internal or other sources. Partnerships are in place to source data and provide maintenance of
orthophotography, parcel fabric, single line road network and address points.
