Hi Katie:
We did a geospatial data pilot with our campus repository. In the
pilot, we worked with three faculty members.
The link to our repository is http://arizona.openrepository.com/arizona/
and the geospatial data collections are at
http://arizona.openrepository.com/arizona/handle/10150/127285. We
didn't do anything fancy -- any shapefiles for raster data are zipped
files.
I'm working on a final report for the pilot -- what worked, what didn't
work, and recommendations.
Also, the ALA MAGIRT GeoTech Committee had a Spatial Data Catalog
Subcommittee that I chaired where we did a survey of spatial data
catalogs and I'm writing a final report for the GeoTech Committee.
Be happy to talk to you on the phone about both.
I agree with your comment about research data management, you'd think
there would be more. At the UA, we're just getting started. I'm on a
campus wide data management committee and part of our charge is to look
at the UA hosting a data repository.

Hi all,
I'm doing some preparation for a NACIS presentation the week after next
and hoping to gather knowledge from the collective Maps-L mind!
I'm investigating geospatial research data in open repositories. And...
I'm not finding much at all. I had hoped that the recent increase in
research data management and data repositories would be reflected in the
geospatial world. That in itself is an interesting finding, but I can't
talk about it for very long! So, I have two questions for Maps-L folks:
1.Does your institution have an IR that is planning to already holds
research**GIS datasets?
2.Does your institution host a geoportal that contains institutional
research data as well as commercial or government data?
I'm doing more research on geoportals, government, and subject
repositories, but thought I'd ask in case I'm missing something. It can
be hard to pull out geospatial data. Thanks for any info you can provide!
