Developing a Portal for Geospatial Resources

Home / Project Briefing Pages / CNI Spring 2012 Project Briefings / Developing a Portal for Geospatial Resources

March 30, 2012

Alan Darnell
Director, Scholars Portal
University of Toronto

21 university libraries in the Ontario Council of University Libraries have collaborated to develop a portal for delivering numeric and geospatial resources to students and scholars across the province. Using the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) for numeric data markup and the ISO 19115 metadata standard for geographic information system (GIS) resources, the portal allows users to discover, preview, select, and download data from key government and commercial publishers. The features of the current portal will be presented along with a description of the collaborative model employed for design and development.
