Publishing services

Map services play a pivotal role in supporting the mission and core values of the European Environment Agency (EEA). These services serve a wide range of purposes, from internal use to the dissemination of public information, covering EEA's key thematic areas. Given the dynamic nature of the information and the evolving requirements associated with these services, it is imperative that we establish and adhere to a standardized approach for requesting and maintaining them. In this document, we will explore the essential guidelines and practices for service publication utilizing ArcGIS Pro in conjunction with ArcGIS Servers and Portal for ArcGIS. By following these recommendations, we can ensure the highest standards of data quality, streamline workflows, and maximize the benefits of our GIS initiatives. Let us embark on this journey of effective service publication and make a lasting impact in the world of geospatial information.
