WoNGC

WoNGC stands for World Online National Grid, a web-based online platform that allows users to visualize and interact with geographic data in various formats. The platform is designed to provide a unified interface for accessing and manipulating geospatial data, streamlining workflows and enhancing analysis capabilities.

WoNGC was initially developed by the UK Government's Ordnance Survey (OS) as a means to share and distribute geographic information systems (GIS) data online. Since its launch, the platform has expanded to include data from multiple sources and partners, including local and national authorities, as well as private companies. The platform supports a wide range of data formats, including geographic information systems (GIS) files, spatial databases, and web mapping services (WMS).

Key features of WoNGC include:

* Interactive map viewers with support for multiple layers and spatial queries

* Tools for data analysis and visualization, including heat maps, density maps, and network analysis

* Integration with popular GIS software applications, including Esri ArcGIS and QGIS

* Support for web-based publishing and sharing of GIS data and maps

* A range of APIs and programming libraries for custom integration and automation

The primary goal of WoNGC is to provide a collaborative and open environment for sharing and working with geographic data, promoting efficiency, consistency, and standardization across various industries and stakeholders. By leveraging WoNGC, users can streamline data management, improve data discovery, and enhance community engagement around geographic data and mapping initiatives.
