Abstract
 Florida Department of Environmental Protection Geospatial Library Catalog Track: Metadata and Data Publishing Author(s): Chris Judd This presentation will discuss the current multiphase project that will make use of Information Science fundamentals to build a new interface to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (FDEP) library of 300 GIS layers. The current interface, Dataminer, is a custom FDEP extension that serves as a gateway to the GIS library. This tool employs very broad categories to organize the layers and provides a pick list that allows layers with predefined symbology to be added to a user's ArcGIS map. The upgraded Geospatial Library Catalog (GLC) will encapsulate the browse and search features of a library catalog, allowing a more granular data taxonomy. A portion of the project will be dedicated to properly cataloging and organizing the data utilizing Information Science principles. Additionally, the upgrade will allow user-contributed layers and reference data sharing services such as ArcIMS that will allow FDEP users to consume data from internal and outside entities.
