Geospatial Data

Contains a small amount of data from the Ministry of Natural Resources, including: Provincial DEM, Soils Ontario, Lot, Lot Fabric Improved, and more.

Most data can downloaded directly from this site using your Seneca username and password, but some data is too large. When you see this symbol, you must sign out the CD from the Borrower Services Desk in the library at Newnham Campus.

Search the LIO Warehouse

Land Information Ontario (LIO) is a provincial initiative that supports the province-wide sharing of geographic data.

The LIO Warehouse is a web-accessible database that stores geographic data containing almost 30 million land features from across the province. The data ranges from administrative boundaries to transportation arteries to land ownership information to the location of underground wells and satellite imagery.

Seneca College has downloaded some of the more popular datasets from LIO into our Geospatial Online Collection. To request additional data:

1. Search the LIO Warehouse
   
2. Once you have located the data you require, send a request to geospatiallibrary@senecacollege.ca and include this information in your email:
1. the title and abstract from the LIO search
2. your name and course code
   
3. Your request may take from 2 days to 2 weeks depending on the size of the data (LIO mails data that is too large to download)
