Fixing GIS Data Discovery

Introducing GeoBlacklight

Jack Reed / @mejackreed

Stanford University Libraries

Geospatial data preservation and discovery is broken

@lyzidiamond | Code for America

Hours of user interviews

Students, instructors, researchers, experts, librarians, government agencies

Environmental scan

Development of a metadata schema

GeoBlacklight-Schema

Hardy, D., K. Durante. 2014. A Metadata Schema for Geospatial Resource Discovery Use Cases. code4lib 25.

Complimentary to other projects:

  • reusing a controlled vocabulary from the FOSS4G CatInterop project
  • crosswalk from ISO 19115/19139 and FGDC (and ArcGIS)
  • conversion from OpenGeoportal Metadata

Current software offerings don't match institutional objectives

Focus on discovery
