GIS Resources

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. I'll be updating this page with these packages over the course of this morning.

The first SQL package is a bag of metadata (our PostgreSQL data store will hold both data and metadata). Please find it here.

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.

I'm not yet sure what to do for those of you who have chosen to use Windows platforms. Please try the above instructions and tell me if they work for you as well.
