Oct 2, 2014 -- By using ArcGIS Open Data, a hosted app included with ArcGIS Online subscriptions, you can easily share authoritative content with stakeholders, constituents, and the general public. To learn best practices for working with these open data capabilities, tune in to the free Esri live training seminar Get Started with ArcGIS Open Data on October 9, 2014.

During the seminar, the presenters will show you how to enable the Open Data capabilities in your ArcGIS Online organization, create and configure an Open Data site, share data, and make the data easy to discover and explore. You also will learn how to easily search for, filter, and explore data and download it in open formats.

After viewing this seminar, you will understand how to:

• Configure your Open Data site by specifying groups, roles, and items.
• Include specific information when sharing data to help your open data consumers understand your content and produce better          information products from it.
• Quickly design your site's look and feel to reflect your organization's branding.
• Build a custom Open Data site using HTML5 and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

This seminar will be of interest to public-sector information officers, managers, analysts, and others who are interested in providing and using open data and want to know more about the ArcGIS Open Data capabilities that come with ArcGIS Online.
