Data Sharing<\/h2>\n

Organizations all over the world are submitting map layers and routinely updating their area in an effort to improve the basemaps found in the Living Atlas of the World. Contributing organizations know that providing their GIS data improves collaboration and productivity by sharing their content in the cloud, in some cases, eliminating the need for them to maintain a basemap service. These organizations incorporate basemaps in their web maps and dynamic applications supporting a wide range of daily GIS tasks.<\/p>\n

The Basemap Factory<\/h2>\n

Ever wonder what happens when your organization submits map layers to Esri? Esri’s Community Maps Program accepts contributions of basemap data in two formats, as a service, or from a geodatabase.<\/p>\n

Once an organization’s basemap data is shared it enters the ‘factory’. Factories are where goods are manufactured or assembled. In this factory we are manufacturing and assembling basemaps.<\/p>\n

Inside the factory the basemap database<\/span> connects two concurrent assembly lines, the input process<\/span><\/strong>,<\/span> and the update cycle<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"sidebar","content":"

The Input Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This process begins when an organization contributes map layers that contain updated features. The data is pulled or downloaded and then the layers are evaluated by the Community Maps Team before these features are added to the basemap. A preliminary review is provided to the contributing organization to ensure that all map features are rendering and labeling properly. Once this review is approved, the contributed map layers are integrated into the basemap database.<\/p>\n","image_reference":{"ID":2072992,"id":2072992,"title":"InputProcess","filename":"InputProcess.jpg","filesize":77471,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InputProcess.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/mapping\/my-organization-just-submitted-map-layers-to-esris-community-maps-program-now-what\/inputprocess","alt":"","author":"7651","description":"","caption":"","name":"inputprocess","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2030452,"date":"2023-09-11 19:19:15","modified":"2023-09-11 19:19:15","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1042,"height":643,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InputProcess-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InputProcess.jpg","medium-width":423,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InputProcess.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":474,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InputProcess.jpg","large-width":1042,"large-height":643,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InputProcess.jpg","1536x1536-width":1042,"1536x1536-height":643,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InputProcess.jpg","2048x2048-width":1042,"2048x2048-height":643,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InputProcess-754x465.jpg","card_image-width":754,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InputProcess.jpg","wide_image-width":1042,"wide_image-height":643}},"layout":"image","image_reference_figure":"","snippet":"","spotlight_name":"","section_title":"","position":"Center","spotlight_image":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"sidebar","content":"

The Update Cycle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Basemap content is updated every three weeks. At the beginning of the update cycle, the basemap database, including all new contributions are copied, and then indexed according to feature densities. Using the index, vector tiles are then created from the database copy and packaged. The tile package is then published and the basemaps are refreshed with updated features from contributing organizations.<\/p>\n","image_reference":{"ID":2073312,"id":2073312,"title":"UpdateCycle","filename":"UpdateCycle.jpg","filesize":83861,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UpdateCycle.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/mapping\/my-organization-just-submitted-map-layers-to-esris-community-maps-program-now-what\/updatecycle","alt":"","author":"7651","description":"","caption":"","name":"updatecycle","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2030452,"date":"2023-09-11 22:40:54","modified":"2023-09-11 22:40:54","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1046,"height":728,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UpdateCycle-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UpdateCycle.jpg","medium-width":375,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UpdateCycle.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":535,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UpdateCycle.jpg","large-width":1046,"large-height":728,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UpdateCycle.jpg","1536x1536-width":1046,"1536x1536-height":728,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UpdateCycle.jpg","2048x2048-width":1046,"2048x2048-height":728,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UpdateCycle-668x465.jpg","card_image-width":668,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UpdateCycle.jpg","wide_image-width":1046,"wide_image-height":728}},"layout":"image","image_reference_figure":"","snippet":"","spotlight_name":"","section_title":"","position":"Center","spotlight_image":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
