Good afternoon everyone! Since I'll speaking today about GeoNode and it's relationship to CAPRA, I wanted to write a quick blogpost that would give you some more details about the project.
GeoNode provides an open platform for the access, management, and publication of geospatial data. The tool is built upon mature and free open- source software and is designed to allow non-technical users to easily share their data and use it to create interactive maps.
GeoNode’s data management system allows for intergrated curation of data, metadata, and map visualizations. Each dataset in the system can be shared publicly or restricted to allow access to only registered users. Soon to be released social features like user profiles and commenting and rating systems allow for the development of communities around each platform to facilitate the use, management, and quality control of the data the GeoNode instance contains.
