Scope & Objectives (adopted 17 Feb 2015)
What set of practices, standards, tools, and infrastructure do we want for geospatial objects, and non-geospatial objects with geo characteristics? How can institutions move from simply providing access to GIS data to sustainable full-lifecycle repository based management of GIS data? How can we create consensus and collaboration in answering these questions? Topics of interest will include:
- Geographic metadata - practices for representing geospatial metadata for non-geo objects, e.g., place name subject headings in MaRC records
- Geospatial data in a wide variety of formats and types (e.g., ingesting shapefiles, geodatabases, raster images)
- Licensing issues
- Access services: e.g., authentication, web service protocols (WMS, WFS, etc.)
- Workflows: production, curation, publication, and preservation of GIS data
- Building and operating spatial data infrastructure (e.g., GeoServer, PostGIS, tile cache)
- Preservation services
- Metadata standards: e.g., FGDC vs ISO
- Metadata services: e.g., gazetteer management, linked data approaches
- Metadata sharing: e.g., OpenGeoMetadata
- Management and integration of GIS data in a repository: e.g., modeling GIS data in Fedora 4
- Discovery services: e.g., geoportals, GeoBlacklight, Blacklight-Maps
Meeting Times & Communication Channels
We'll be having a bi-monthly phone call on the 3rd Thursday quarterly, with more frequent meetings for specific working groups.
