  1. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER ASIACOVERSpatial Database Engine Based on GeoNetwork OpenSource Technology

  2. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER FAO GeoNetworkandASIACOVER Improve access and use of geographic data and information

  3. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER The GeoNetwork Concept • A Spatial Data Infrastructure that • Provides easy to use tools to accomplish data sharing and use • Allows for distributed maintenance and ownership of data

  4. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER The GeoNetwork Concept • A portal that integrates • Metadata search and maintenance functions • Data distribution and publication functions

  5. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER The GeoNetwork Concept • A portal that integrates • Interactive access to Geographic Data from distributed sources through Internet Mapping Services (InterMap) • Distributed databases for data & metadata

  6. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER The GeoNetwork Concept • A Spatial Data Infrastructure that • Implements widely accepted standards (United Nations Geographic Information Working Group (UNGIWG))

  7. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER The GeoNetwork Concept • The International Standard for Geographic Metadata - ISO19115 • OpenGIS Consortium standards (dynamic internet map services, catalogue services etcetera)

  8. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER The GeoNetwork Concept • ISO/DIS 19115 • This new international standard defines the schema required for describing geographic information and services. It provides information about: • identification; • extent; • quality; • spatial; • temporal schema; • spatial reference; • distribution …of digital geographic data.

  9. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER The GeoNetwork Concept • OpenGIS • GeoNetwork uses Open GIS Consortium (OGC) compliant map services for dynamic mapping.The OGC is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the development of open geoprocessing systems and standards.

  10. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER The GeoNetwork Concept • Implementing common standards. • Standards for: • Describing data; • Finding data; • Combining data

  11. UNEP.net portal WFP VAM ASIACOVER GeoNetwork portal DynamicMap Server Dynamic Map server Metadata Catalog Metadata Catalog data data FAO GeoNetwork portal DynamicMap Server Metadata Catalog data ASIAC VER ASIACOVER Integrated Portals

  12. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER Functionality • Searching of individual spatial data layers in distributed databases (through the Z39.50 protocol) • Finding information related to these data layers

  13. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER Functionality • Access dynamic Internet Map Services • Uploading and downloading of spatial data

  14. UNEP.net portal WFP VAM ASIACOVER GeoNetwork portal DynamicMap Server Dynamic Map server Metadata Catalog Metadata Catalog data data FAO GeoNetwork portal DynamicMap Server Metadata Catalog data ASIAC VER ASIACOVER Integrated Portals

  15. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER Basic software requirements • An XML/XSL based web application • Platform independent (Windows, Unix, Macintosh) • Uses JDBC compliant databases • Freely available

  16. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER GeoNetwork OpenSource • What is it? • A website! • You can quickly set up a metadata portal • It implements the International Standard for Geographic Metadata (ISO19115) • It allows online maintenance of metadata and data • for internal use on an intranet and/or • for publication on the internet

  17. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER GeoNetwork OpenSource • This means that • Anybody in the world that wants to set up a spatial data and metadata portal can do so • No costs are involved in buying the application • Access to all the source code that was developed for the application

  18. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER GeoNetwork OpenSource • This means that you • are free to modify the application • can contribute to the further development of the application • can add new features to the Open Source release of GeoNetwork • can benefit from new features developed by others

  19. ASIAC VER ASIACOVER GeoNetwork OpenSource • This means that you • only have to respect the GNU Library or Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
