 three decades of geographical
(spatial) data digitisation and capture
 numerous academic disciplines
use Geographic Info System (GIS)
software for research and teaching
* 2006 spatial data audit conducted
at four universities yielded:
+500 datasets
100s of orphan datasets
 considerable cost and time
invested in spatial data creation
Requires a spatial data management, discovery and sharing
solution delivered through metadata and infrastructure.
Background

GoGeo Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)

4. 4
• AGMAP supports the specific
needs of UK H&FE
• Comprises elements from
ISO 19115, UK GEMINI and
INSPIRE
• Supports documentation of
datasets and geo-services
(discovery and descriptive)
• AGMAP elements mapped to
FGDC, Dublin Core and
Data Documentation Initiative
(DDI)
• 250 pp. of AGMAP guidelines
UK Academic Geospatial Metadata

2007-2013 Geodoc usage
 Users affiliated with 49
UK academic institutions
 3,130 logins
 2,319 metadata records created
 only 230 records published
 most of these 230 records
published on the GoGeo Portal’s
private, institutional nodes

* Intellectual Property Rights (IPR);
* legacy data;
* trust, liability fears, privacy and security;
* residual licensed data rights for derived data;
* concerns over data quality (data creator and user);
* revisions to metadata standards; and
* confusion about standards compliance and which standard to use.
time and cost for the following:
- updating metadata records (descriptive);
- creating anonymised data for release;
- delivery (normalise, transform and harmonise data); and
- short and long-term investment in infrastructure and data and
software archiving.
