Who actually uses geospatial data?
summary
A national SaaS platform publishes spatial data for human download and for system integration, with exports dominating interactive use and web services dominating automated workflows. About 50% shapefile downloads remain common, DWG is a major use case for AEC users, and raster/JPEGs drive government display needs. Web services are used mostly by nightly jobs and integrations — roughly 90% automated WFS/WMS clients — and an export API exists for automation. The team is prototyping versioned data-as-dependency workflows and finds GeoPackage adoption still low.
