Data Layers
Provincial, territorial, and municipal stakeholders agreed to work together to ensure the availability of high-quality geospatial data covering the entire Canadian landmass. This data is collected once and maintained closest to the source, and provided freely through the GeoBase portal with no restrictions for users.
GeoBase has partnerships with federal, provincial, and territorial agencies, with the dual goals of eliminating data duplication and optimizing collectively available resources. GeoBase partners are involved in different levels of the data production process such as project funding, sharing of source data or by working on data collection and data processing.
All GeoBase data must conform to the following technical characteristics:
- GeoBase data elements carry a unique and singular ID.
- GeoBase data comply with a standard data model and meet or exceed a minimum standard for accuracy, resolution and currency.
- Metadata is defined and standardized at the entity level.
- GeoBase data and all associated tools adhere to international standards.
- GeoBase data is seamless across Canada.
- GeoBase data is consistent across layers.

Famous quotes containing the words data and/or layers:
“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“The force of a death should be enormous but how can you know what kind of man you’ve killed or who was the braver and stronger if you have to peer through layers of glass that deliver the image but obscure the meaning of the act? War has a conscience or it’s ordinary murder.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
