Using Geodoc, users can now ensure that their metadata complies with all the widely used metadata standards.
Geodoc now supports the creation of INSPIRE and UK GEMINI 2.1 compliant metadata through the implementation of the UK Academic Geospatial Metadata Application Profile, version 2.1 (UK AGMAP 2.1). UK AGMAP 2.1 is also fully compliant with ISO 19115, FGDC, Dublin Core and the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI).
ShareGeo is being used as the “end-point” data repository for the visualising Urban Geographies project (geo.nls.uk/urbhist/) run jointly by The University of Edinburgh and The National Library of Scotland. Depositing the data in ShareGeo provides the project with Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI’s) making it easy for them to link to the data and for people to cite their use of the data.
