The topic "Open" has become immensely important in recent years. There are numerous Open Data<\/STRONG> initiatives from cities such as Hamburg and Berlin. The crowd-sourcing project OpenStreetMap plays an increasingly important role. The industry develops numerous open formats and interfaces to ensure interoperability between IT solutions (Open Standards<\/STRONG>). Finally, the developer community has shifted to collaboratively developing software (Open Source<\/STRONG>) and uses sharing platforms like GitHub for this purpose.<\/P><\/P>How does Esri deal with this development? How does Esri itself rely on "Open"? What really lies behind statements like "ArcGIS is an open platform"? You can find answers here at Esri's Open Vision<\/A>.<\/P>
