== GeoHydra: How to Build a Geospatial Digital Library with Fedora ==
* [http://stanford.edu/~drh Darren Hardy], Stanford University, drh@stanford.edu
Geographically-rich data are exploding and putting fear in those trying to
tackle integrating them into existing digital library infrastructures.
Building a spatial data infrastructure that integrates with your digital
library infrastructure need not be a daunting task. We have successfully
deployed a geospatial digital library infrastructure using Fedora and
open-source geospatial software [1]. We'll discuss the primary design
decisions and technologies that led to a production deployment within a few
months. Briefly, our architecture revolves around discovery, delivery, and
metadata pipelines using open-source OpenGeoPortal [2], Solr [3], GeoServer
[4], PostGIS [5], and GeoNetwork [6] technologies, plus the proprietary ESRI
ArcMap [7] -- the GIS industry's workhorse. Finally, we'll discuss the key
skillsets needed to build and maintain a spatial data infrastructure.
