Esri’s Open Vision promotes open standards, data interoperability, open data and open APIs, code and the community. ArcGIS software is designed as an open platform that’s flexible, interoperable, reliable, constantly evolving and encouraging innovation that helps you achieve your goals.

Esri supports many data formats to ensure data and product interoperability. Formats include standard KML and GML as well as other widely used formats that are considered standard.

We build the ArcGIS system to work with multiple data formats. The ArcGIS Data Interoperability Extension enables extract, transform, and load (ETL) for data formats and data models.

Many organisations use ArcGIS to share and work with open data. People are looking for ways to liberate data so they can communicate effectively, meet transparency requirements and enable greater insights. Esri includes open data capabilities at no cost in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Hub.

Esri has a long-standing commitment to open standards and interoperability. That’s why ArcGIS supports more than 100 established standards including data formats, metadata, and services. We work with many standards organisations to develop new standards and update existing ones.
