The Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) website is a platform provided by the Ontario government of Canada that allows the public to stay informed about environmental matters and participate in decision-making processes. It allows public to search for various environmental notices, proposals, and decisions. This information is valuable for individuals, organizations and businesses interested in how government decisions might impact the environment in Ontario.
Extracting data from ERO platform involves interacting with the website's search engine, navigating multiple pages of results, and accessing detailed spatial and non-spatial information within each record. Manually navigating through pages and pulling relevant information can be time-consuming. This article demonstrates how to automate the data extraction process from the ERO website using FME Workbench and output the results into a spatial format such as a file geodatabase.
