Summary

Go-Geo! is an online resource discovery tool which allows for the identification and retrieval of records describing the content, quality, condition and other characteristics of geospatial data that exist with UK tertiary education and beyond. The portal supports geospatial searching by interactive map, grid co-ordinates and place name, as well as the more traditional topic or keyword forms of searching. The portal is a key component of the UK academic Spatial Data Infrastructure.

Project Deliverables

Objectives for Phase 5b are:

• enhanced user interface for registered users within My Go-Geo!
• cross searching of additional nodes
• investigation of web service discovery
