What are barriers to information addition? It is unclear how to submit new information Metadata requirements are not clearly stated Confusion over data hosting possibilities OSU | PSU | UO
How can we reduce barriers to addition? • Clearly state collection policy and metadata requirements on the site • Implement a range of solutions for individuals or organizations with varying capacity OSU | PSU | UO
Host own data and metadata • Ability to edit metadata and data • Host data with DAS GEO, but have the ability to set up a web accessible folder outside firewalls to store metadata • Retain ability to edit metadata • Host data and metadata with DAS GEO/OSDL • Edits go through OSDL staff • Harvest from an existing map service or catalog What might the range of solutions look like?
