Bridge is a plugin for your favorite desktop GIS that makes it easy to publish your data to map and catalog services. Now it will also allow you to search and consume your OGC services.
If you need to publish your (meta)data to GeoServer and/or GeoNetwork straight from QGIS or even ArcGIS, GeoCat Bridge might just be the tool for you.
In this talk we'll show you how Bridge works and what it does: from converting native symbology into SLD or MapLibre GL JS, to publishing feature and raster layers to a variety of services, as well as publishing metadata records and linking them to your services.
Furthermore, we're excited to show you a sneak preview of the upcoming integrated Catalog Search functionality, which will allow you to search through OGC API Records from any server - including your own - and add the results directly to your desktop GIS.
As director and owner of GeoCat, founder of GeoNetwork and board member of OSGeo, I’m obsessed with helping organizing data using free and open source software in a sustainable way.
I started my career at the United Nations supporting Early Warning Systems with satellite imagery and quickly moved to also support the management of geospatial data. Now, 25 years onwards, the software we develop runs at over 85% of national geoportal end points in Europe and is in use at all levels in governments around the world.
