Language: English
Get introduced to a mix of pycsw, pygeometa, mapserver and terriajs to set up a data platform in your intranet or for the internet, to provide your coworkers with a better spatial data discovery experience.
The set of tools presented in this workshop is interesting for various use cases. From an intranet application to search through datasets on a shared folder up to a project knowledge portal where participants contribute to extend the platform.
We build on the principle that metadata should be maintained close to where the data is, in an easy to use format (think of a readme.txt). This metadata is then crawled from a shared folder into a searchable index. For spatial files the data can then automatically be exposed as OGC:WMS/WFS/WCS/OGCAPI services. The scripts involved can run as cron jobs or Git CI/CD pipelines.
In the workshop you'll get introduced to typical osgeo components, such as Mapserver, pycsw, pygeometa, terriajs. How to deploy them using containers and how to tweak them to your needs.
Understanding of docker containers is a must, make sure docker is running locally, python skills are desirable.
