Technology
Technology is the capabilities driver of a platform delivering applications and enabling infrastructure to disseminate geospatial content and information.
Content
Geospatial content is the fuel that drives the platform. From raw map data, EO data, services, analytical products, Basemaps and a Living map of Canada.
Community
Communities make sense of the content. They highlight what's important, and how it's used. A platform needs to enable communities.
