What are barriers to information addition?
It is unclear how to submit new information
Metadata requirements are not clearly stated
Confusion over data hosting possibilities
OSU | PSU | UO
How can we reduce barriers to addition?
Clearly state collection policy and metadata requirements on the site
Implement a range of solutions for individuals or organizations with
varying capacity
OSU | PSU | UO
What might the range of solutions look like?
1. Host own data and metadataAbility to edit metadata and data
2. Host data with DAS GEO, but have the ability to set up a web accessible folder outside firewalls to store metadata
Retain ability to edit metadata3. Host data and metadata with DAS GEO/OSDL
Edits go through OSDL staff4. Harvest from an existing map service or
catalog

Harvesting
OSU | PSU | UO
What’s next?
1. Work with interested FITs or agencies to add more records
2. Ensure consistency between framework elements and the spatial data library
3. Set up harvesting for Preparedness and Coastal and Marine FITs

Do you have data and metadata you’d like to contribute, or have questions on harvesting?
