Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has been contributing to Canada’s Open Government Portal with thousands of published datasets that meet open standards.

The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) Data Catalogue Service team at ECCC chose FME to build streamlined workflows to transform data of hundreds of formats, harvest from GeoNetwork and OGC Catalogue Service via APIs, catalogue metadata, perform QA/QC, and provide feedback to program areas on data improvement. 

Boosting productivity and interagency collaboration

Automated data validation with no coding enables the team to improve work efficiency, eliminate human errors, and support more open data publishing. This ultimately helps improve authoritative data sharing among federal departments and agencies and increases government transparency.

Environment and Climate Change Canada informs Canadians about protecting and conserving natural heritage and ensuring a clean, safe and sustainable environment for present and future generations.

This project was done in partnership with Safe Software partner, Consortech.
