Greetings and Happy Earth Day,
Apologies for any cross postings.
Stanford University Libraries is happy to introduce EarthWorks [https://earthworks.stanford.edu], our new geospatial data discovery application. EarthWorks allows you to discover and download GIS data and maps from a variety of institutions.
The software is built on top of the open-source project GeoBlacklight [http://geoblacklight.org], which adds geospatial capabilities to the widely used discovery system Project Blacklight [http://projectblacklight.org/]. GeoBlacklight is the product of an ongoing software collaboration between MIT, Princeton, and Stanford. Contributions and collaborators are most welcome! https://github.com/geoblacklight/geoblacklight/wiki/Contributing GeoBlacklight can be used on its own, or as part of GeoHydra, an emerging suite of tools for managing geospatial data assets within a Hydra data repository. For more information about GeoHydra, please see the interest group wiki https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/hydra/Hydra+Geospatial+Interest+Group .
Metadata sharing for EarthWorks is enabled through collaboration with the OpenGeoPortal project [http://opengeoportal.org/] and the new OpenGeoMetadata initiative [https://github.com/OpenGeoMetadata/metadatarepository].
EarthWorks also uses GeoMonitor [https://geomonitor.stanford.edu/] to monitor the availability of data being provided by the network of collaborating institutions.
Questions about EarthWorks, GeoBlacklight, GeoMonitor, or how we collaborate with OpenGeoMetadata can be directed to geoblacklight...@googlegroups.com .
Upcoming meetings and events:
Open Repositories [http://www.or2015.net/] June 8 - 11, 2015 Indianapolis, IN ,USA - Hands on GeoBlacklight Workshop
ESRI Education GIS Conference [http://www.esri.com/events/educ] July 18-21, 2015 San Diego, CA, USA - "GeoBlacklight, a New Discovery Platform for Geospatial Data” lightning talk
ESRI User Conference [http://www.esri.com/events/user-conference] July 20 - 24, 2015 San Diego, CA, USA - "Preservation and discovery for GIS data” presentation
HydraConnect [http://projecthydra.org/2015/04/10/save-the-date-hydra-connect-2015-monday-september-21st-thursday-september-24th/] September 21 - 24 2015, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - Hydra Geospatial Interest Group
Looking forward to hearing from and meeting you at these upcoming events.
Best regards,
