GeoNorge.no: The New Norwegian GeoPortal
Track: Metadata and Data Publishing
Author(s): Roy Mellum

In January this year, the Norwegian GeoPortal was pre-launched. The portal is one of the first implementations worldwide based on the ArcIMS Portal toolkit. The feedback and attention of the portal has been overwhelming. The portal is a key component in the Norwegian NSDI,and will be a central building block in the further development of the GI infrastructure as well as in the Norwegian e-government initiative. The presentation will cover aspects of technical and organizational challenges we have been facing so far, with focus on standards, interoperability, and content quality. The presentation also outlines the 2004 activities on further development, education, training, and information, ending up with an interoperable, content-comprehensive, and easy-to-use GeoPortal.
