<h1>About the NationalMap</h2>
<p>The <strong>NationalMap</strong> is a website for map-based access to spatial data from Australian government agencies.
It is an initiative of the Department of Communications and the Arts now currently managed by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and the software has been developed by Data61 working closely with the Department of Communications and the Arts, Geoscience Australia and other government agencies.</p>
<!-- 4:3 aspect ratio -->
<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-4by3">
<iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="//www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/gsEAq0x0xh4?rel=0"></iframe>
</div>
<p>The <strong>NationalMap</strong> is a fully open architecture. When you access data through it, you are typically
accessing the data directly from the government department or agency which is the custodian of that data.</p>
<p>The <strong>NationalMap</strong>...</p>
<ul>
<li>provides easy access to authoritative and other spatial data to government, business and the public</li>
<li>facilitates the opening of data by federal, state and local government bodies</li>
<li>provides an open framework of geospatial data services that supports commercial and community innovation</li>
</ul>
<p>To see what data is available on the NationalMap, refer to the Data Catalogue in the
<a href="http://nationalmap.gov.au/">NationalMap</a> itself. Click the <b>Data Catalogue</b> tab and expand the Data Set group names.</p>
<h2>How to use the NationalMap</h2>
<p>Just go to <a href="http://nationalmap.gov.au/">http://nationalmap.gov.au/</a>. Most operations are obvious,
but you can click the <a href="help/help.html">Help and FAQs</a> button near the top of this page for specific instructions.</p>
<p>For further information email <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.
Feel free to send us feedback and bug reports.</p>
<h2>Contributing Data to NationalMap</h2>
<p>Spatial data sets which are placed on <a href="http://data.gov.au/" target="_blank">data.gov.au</a> using supported data formats and protocols (such as WMS) will
automatically be included in the NationalMap. See the <a href="help/help.html">How To...</a> page for more information.</p>
<p>Australian government agencies that wish to find out more information about contributing data sets to the NationalMap
should email <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> with their questions.
Typically, the NationalMap does not store the data itself, but refers to the data servers of the data contributors,
directly taking that data and presenting it overlaid over a map. Therefore, agencies providing data directly must have the data
available via an online server using a standard protocol.</p>
<h2>NationalMap Software</h2>
<p>The NationalMap is Open Source software available as a
<a href="https://github.com/NICTA/nationalmap" target="_blank">Github project</a>. The core platform, <a href="https://github.com/TerriaJS/terriajs" target="_blank">TerriaJS</a>, was initially
developed by Data61 for the NationalMap, but has subsequently been used for other projects. It has been made available
to assist with the development of other spatial data viewing applications.</p>
<p>The NationalMap core software is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"). You may not use the source code files
except in compliance with the License. You may obtain a copy of the License at

<h2>Additional Open Source Software Used</h2>
<p>In developing the NationalMap, Data61 has used open source software and contributed back to it. NationalMap leverages these
excellent open source libraries:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/TerriaJS/terriajs" target="_blank">TerriaJS</a></li>
<li><a href="http://cesiumjs.org/" target="_blank">Cesium</a></li>
<li><a href="http://leafletjs.com/" target="_blank">Leaflet</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The <a href="https://github.com/NICTA/nationalmap/blob/master/LICENSE.md">complete list</a> is available with the <a href="https://github.com/NICTA/nationalmap">NationalMap source code</a></p>
