What is open data?Open data is data that can be used by anyone for any purpose for free.
Many of our customers, such as Esri, the Weather Company, and the Climate Corporation, rely on quality open data as much as they rely on our computing, storage, and other web services.

Open data on AWSMaking data open on AWS enables more innovation by making data available for rapid access to our flexible and low-cost computing resources.

Landsat – big open dataThe Landsat program is a joint effort of
the U.S. Geological Survey and NASA.
It is the longest running program to
gather Earth imagery from space and
is considered the gold standard for
natural resources satellite imagery.
It can be time-consuming and
expensive to acquire, store, and
analyze Landsat data.

AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofit Symposium Washington, DC I June 25-26, 2015
Landsat on AWSAWS has committed to make up to 1
petabyte of Landsat imagery available
through the AWS Public Data Set
program.
Over 170,000 Landsat 8 scenes are
available now, and about 700 are
added every day.
Now anyone can analyze Landsat data
at web scale with no up-front
investment of time or capital expense.

Landsat on AWSSince March 19 launch:
• 270 million hits from 147 countries
• >3 million hits per day on average
• 19TB of data transferred per day
• 2 brand new applications: Snapsat and
Astro Digital browser
• Fueling new product development from
Mapbox, Esri, CartoDB, MathWorks,
and Development Seed

The cost of working with geospatial data has plummeted, thanks to:
• Technological innovation• Open source culture• Open data
![Page 10: Open GIS Data](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102903/55cd19b4bb61eb497a8b4774/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Brilliant. this is the greatest leap in facilitating the use of satellite data I’ve ever seen. In 1990, it was a US$50K SGI workstation (three colours!), a separate US$20 K machine to run the tapes + US$20K of software. Oh, and each image cost US$625.

It’s getting better, but…
![Page 12: Open GIS Data](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102903/55cd19b4bb61eb497a8b4774/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofit Symposium Washington, DC I June 25-26, 2015
The learning curve remains steep

AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofit Symposium Washington, DC I June 25-26, 2015
The old process required:• Understanding the command line.• Knowing which tools to install• Knowing how to configure them• Time• Bandwidth
![Page 14: Open GIS Data](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102903/55cd19b4bb61eb497a8b4774/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofit Symposium Washington, DC I June 25-26, 2015
The new process requires:• A browser• A mouse• A few clicks

AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofit Symposium Washington, DC I June 25-26, 2015
We flattened the curve

AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofit Symposium Washington, DC I June 25-26, 2015
Why now, and why us?

Collecting the World’s Open Address Data

AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofit Symposium Washington, DC I June 25-26, 2015
Problems we’re trying to solve• Addresses are the human interface to
geographic data• A map isn’t usable by humans until they can
locate themselves• Street address is where everyone starts• Geocoders are the software that translates from
an address to a point on the map
![Page 22: Open GIS Data](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102903/55cd19b4bb61eb497a8b4774/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofit Symposium Washington, DC I June 25-26, 2015
Problems we’re trying to solve• Make it easier to build geocoders• Improve and promote access to open data• Share data improvements
![Page 23: Open GIS Data](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102903/55cd19b4bb61eb497a8b4774/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Existing projects• OpenStreetMap
– 51M addresses, 30K monthly active users
• OpenAddresses.org• OpenAddressesUK
![Page 24: Open GIS Data](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102903/55cd19b4bb61eb497a8b4774/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofit Symposium Washington, DC I June 25-26, 2015
Our project• http://openaddresses.io• Crowd-sourced list of ~1000 open data
sources• Contributions are made through Github• Software stack to download and transform• 127M points, 64 contributors
![Page 25: Open GIS Data](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102903/55cd19b4bb61eb497a8b4774/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofit Symposium Washington, DC I June 25-26, 2015
Our project• Output is bare minimum right now:
lat, lon, house #, street, city, state, postcode
• We keep source data, so new outputs are trivial
![Page 26: Open GIS Data](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102903/55cd19b4bb61eb497a8b4774/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofit Symposium Washington, DC I June 25-26, 2015
Where to next?• Crowd-sourcing points isn’t sustainable,
we need more authoritative datasets• Convince entities to release data to the
public• Lots to do internationally, but still plenty to
do in the US
![Page 27: Open GIS Data](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102903/55cd19b4bb61eb497a8b4774/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofit Symposium Washington, DC I June 25-26, 2015
Where to next?• Feedback mechanism• Licensing• Organization
