USGIN CSW

USGIN Catalog and Data Services website released

Submitted by wgrunberg on Thu, 04/15/2010 - 2:40pm

The USGIN Catalog and Data Services website (http://catalog.usgin.org) hosts several geospatial metadata catalog (CSW) and geospatial data services (WMS, WFS, WCS) implementations and clients. Although the site functions as a showcase of USGIN service implementations, the Catalog Service for the Web service (CSW - http://catalog.usgin.org/geonetwork/srv/en/csw) is a primary metadata node for the U.S. Geospatial Information Network.

Available services and clients at this time:

GeoNetwork configuration and development

Discussion on GeoNetwork setup, configuration, and development.

This group will focus upon GeoNetwork setup, configuration, and development. Any questions or comments are welcome!

Following are some resources that can help you learn about GeoNetwork:

USGIN CSW Profile Home

A web service interface to search metadata catalogs. With the funding of the GIN project, and its dependency on existing (GEON, NGMDB) or soon to exist (NGGDPP) hosts for catalog/discovery services, the specification for how catalog services will work is a high priority for community convergence. There are many  benifits to the community offered by a standardized approach to registering and discovering geoscience information resources.

Discussion at the GIN kickoff workshop in Houston, and at a subsequent meeting with Steve Richard, Ashraf Memon and Kai Lin at SDSC, indicated that the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Catalog Services for the Web (CSW) specification (07-006r1 Catalogue Services Specification v.2.0.2 ) offered an existing specification for catalog services that could meet requirements of all the interested parties.

CSW Debug Blog

A group blog to discuss metadata Catalog Service for the Web (CSW) implementation experiences

Post to this group blog about your metadata Catalog Service for the Web (CSW) client and server implementation efforts and debugging sagas. I encourage occasional rants of the cathartic nature.
