GIS Resources
From Code4Lib
We have several packages of data to play with. Two of them are for ingestion into PostgreSQL/PostGIS. The third is raster data that will come with a preprepared Tomcat instance.
The first SQL package is a bag of metadata (our PostgreSQL data store will hold both data and metadata). Please find it [1].
Those of you on *nix platforms should be able to run this file as SQL against your PostgreSQL instance without change. Be sure that the PostgreSQL commands are available in your shell:
export PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
and try:
psql -f geonetwork.sql -U postgres -d postgres
Let me know how this goes.
