EDINA (JISC) National Data Centre
Joint Information Systems Committee
• providing world-class leadership in the innovative use of Information Communications Technology (ICT) to support education and research
• JISC manages and funds 195 projects within 29 programmes
• JISC supports 49 services to provide expertise, advice, guidance and resources to address the needs of all users in HE and FE.
Background• three decades of GIS and
spatial data capture technology
• an eclectic range of academic disciplines using GIS as a
research and teaching tool
• considerable cost and time invested for all this spatial data
• promote greater awareness of spatial data within tertiary education – existence is not publicised – need to help make more (effective) use of these data
• promote greater awareness of spatial data within the wider GI community in the UK
• facilitate understanding of the problem space: provide access to geographically related resources
• a geographically-oriented access point to the JISC IE
• *Geo-portal the solution to support spatial data management and sharing.
The vision thing
How Go-Geo! started
• Perl
• Z39.50 protocol
• GEO Profile for searching and retrieving records (ISite)
• Academic profile based on the UK NGDF metadata guidelines
• Project started 2001
• JISC funded
• Collaboration between EDINA Data Centre and UK Data Archive
• Go-Geo! portal launched in early 2003

The long journey to service
• A new profile compliant with ISO 19115 and UK GEMINI
• Online metadata editor tool
• Go-Geo! redesign
• international metadata
• Service started in late 2008
Go-Geo! resources for UK academia
UK AGMAP 2 created to support the eclectic needs of the UK H&FE academic communities.
Comprises elements from ISO 19115, UK GEMINI 2 and INSPIRE.
UML and schema
Supports descriptive level documentation of datasets, dataset series or geo service.
Mapped to Dublin Core, DDI, FGDC, INSPIRE and UK GEMINI 2.

Overview and issues• Spatial data audits (2006) at four academic institutions yielded 600 datasets - 100s of orphan datasets!
• Cambridge, Edinburgh, Kingston, Leeds and Sheffield created and published more than 200 metadata records on Go-Geo! portal (global and private).
• almost 500 metadata records published on Go-Geo! (public, private, international).
• changing a mindset (academia)
• Go-Geo! portal still using ISite (GeoNetwork, summer 2010)
• access to spatial data
• IPR and residual licensed data rights for derived data
ShareGeo • A repository for academic deposit and extraction of spatial data.
• Resides under Digimap Collections Service.
• Addresses IPR and licensed data issues.
• Holds almost 100 national and international spatial datasets.
• Open access version of ShareGeo to be completed in July 2010.
