Data and open research
Outerview is built on the belief that better access to physical-world evidence can improve research, communities, and stewardship of the Earth.
We love open research
The physical world is too important to understand through closed systems alone. We want researchers, communities, journalists, builders, and public institutions to be able to investigate real conditions and share what they learn.
Outerview supports workflows that connect observations to source context, make uncertainty visible, and help findings remain useful beyond a single project.
A broad evidence layer
- Visual observations and contributed imagery.
- Open geospatial, environmental, and Earth observation datasets.
- Public records such as permits, inspections, incidents, and notices.
- Derived features, change signals, and model-supported interpretations.
Responsible use
Physical-world intelligence can affect people and places. Applications should use appropriate human review, respect privacy and local law, preserve source context, and communicate limitations.
A result is evidence for a decision, not a substitute for judgment. High-impact uses should include verification and accountable human oversight.
Contribute to a more visible world
Open research becomes more valuable when evidence is diverse, current, and connected to local knowledge. Outerview is designed to grow through responsible contributions and partnerships.
