- 35. Overview and issues Spatial data audits (2006) at four academic institutions yielded 600 datasets - 100s of orphan datasets! Cambridge, Edinburgh, Kingston, Leeds and Sheffield created and published more than 200 metadata records on Go-Geo! portal (global and private). almost 500 metadata records published on Go-Geo! (public, private, international). changing a mindset ( academia ) Go-Geo! portal still using ISite (GeoNetwork, summer 2010) access to spatial data IPR and residual licensed data rights for derived data
- 36. ShareGeo A repository for academic deposit and extraction of spatial data. Resides under Digimap Collections Service. Addresses IPR and licensed data issues. Holds almost 100 national and international spatial datasets. Open access version of ShareGeo to be completed in July 2010.
