DESCRIPTION
Since 2010, geospatial data of Swiss gov agencies can be viewed and accessed over geo.admin.ch in a fast, free and state of the art manner. Over 200 datasets are accessed by up to 50’000 users daily. In an analysis we show which datasets were actually requested by different user groups and our lessons learned to leverage usage itself
