State of GeoNetwork
11-21, 12:00–12:25 (Pacific/Auckland), WG126

Join us for the latest from the GeoNetwork community


The GeoNetwork opensource project is a catalog application that makes it easy to discover resources across any local, regional, national or global Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). GeoNetwork is a mature technology, an OSGeo Project and a proud member of the FOSS4G community for over 20 years.
The GeoNetwork team invites you to hear what we’ve been up to in 2025!
We will showcase the many community-driven projects that have added new features over the past twelve months. Our thriving ecosystem of schema plugins keeps growing, with national teams contributing fixes, enhancements and entirely new capabilities, now including DCAT-AP output support and integrations.
You will also get an insider’s look at the GeoNetwork team’s plans: the current status of our 4.2.x and 4.4.x branches, our upcoming release schedule and an early preview of GeoNetwork 5. We’ll share a high-level roadmap for GeoNetwork 5 and updates on the crowdfunding effort to help bring it to life.

Join us for the latest from the GeoNetwork community and this ever-evolving platform!
