GI-cat

GI-cat is an implementation of distributed catalog services made by ESSI Lab:

  • Allows clients to discover and evaluate geoinformation resources over a federation of data sources;
  • Allows different clients to use the service, as it publishes different catalog interfaces.

A data provider can deploy his/her own GI-cat instance, grouping together disparate data sources, to accommodate his/her user needs.

Data sources:

  • OGC WCS 1.0, 1.1
  • OGC WMS 1.3.0, 1.1.1
  • OGC WFS 1.0.0
  • OGC CSW 2.0.2 Core, AP ISO 1.0, ebRIM/CIM, ebRIM/EO
  • THREDDS 1.0.1, 1.0.2
  • CDI 1.04, 1.3
  • GI-cat 5.x, 6.x
  • GBIF
  • GeoNetwork (versions 2.2.0 and 2.4.1) catalog service
  • deegree (tested with version 2.2) catalog service
  • OpenSearch accessor
  • GENESI DR OpenSearch accessor 

Profilers:

  • Profilers (CSW ebRIM CIM 2.0.2, CSW ebRIM EO 2.0.2)
  • OGC CSW 2.0.2 AP core
  • OGC CSW 2.0.2 AP ISO 1.0
  • OGC CSW 2.0.2 ebRIM EO
  • OGC CSW 2.0.2 ebRIM CIM
  • OpenSearch
