Authors: michael sebhat, Claire Dawson, Gee-Mei Redgwell, Paul Batley

Paper explores the challenges faced by Landmark Information Group and the Office for National Statistics UK in building a managed service to deliver a GeoPortal using ESRI technology. ONS needs to meet Government Open Data and EU INSPIRE targets to deliver mapping, metadata, search, and download services for their spatial data and related products. The portal delivers a powerful web resource for data interoperability, metadata harvesting, and is consumable by various clients and API's.
