Creating Geoportals using Esri's Open Source Geoportal Server

—Marten Hogeweg

In this presentation, users will be introduced to the concept of geoportals and their role in spatial data infrastructures (SDIs). We will describe how the open source Esri Geoportal Server supports both standards-based and Web 2.0-style discovery and access to geospatial resources for SDIs. The presentation will show how to obtain the Esri Geoportal Server from SourceForge, how you can tailor it to meet your specific needs, and how you can contribute your enhancements or improvements to the community.
