UC Berkeley Contributes Code for Ungeoreferenced Map Images
UC Berkeley contributed code for viewer for ungeoreferenced map images in OGP. Tufts will assist with the interface design. It will be incorporated in the OGP 2.0 release.
U of Minnesota Develops Code for ArcGIS Server Web Services
The University of Minnesota just completed and contributed the development of a module to incorporate ArcGIS Server web services. It will be included in the OGP 2.0 release.
New Metadata Toolkit under Development
Tufts University has acquired funding to develop an open source metadata clearinghouse toolkit: a cloud-based, light weight metadata authoring environment. Our goal is to provide rapid guided metadata authoring. The site will employ controlled vocabularies from the Library of Congress API and the OGP thesauri. It will also facilitate the import and export of geospatial metadata records from the OGP cloud of metadata (currently around 40,000 metadata records). It will also provide a crosswalk to/from multiple metadata formats. It is being developed in collaboration with Harvard, MIT, and UC Berkeley.
University of Maryland – CARPE Demo
Tufts just completed working with the University of Maryland Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE) and University Libraries to ingest their metadata and web services into the demo version OGP.
