Geoportal Server is a standards-based, open source product that enables discovery and use of geospatial resources including data and services.

Esri Geoportal Server v1

UPDATE: Esri Geoportal Server v2 is now available

The next generation Esri Geoportal Server v2 is now available. Geoportal Server 2 provides the metadata catalog and harvesting capabilities as separate modules. The repositories are located at Geoportal Server Catalog and Geoportal Server Harvester.

This repository is maintained as an archive for those who are still actively using Esri Geoportal Server v1.

We are not planning any updates to this repository.

Note: Geoportal Server 1.x does not use Log4j and as such is not vulnerable to the recently identified issue with Log4j 2.

Geoportal Server

Introduction to geoportal-server

Geoportal Server is a standards-based, open source product that enables discovery and use of geospatial resources including data and services.

Geoportal Server allows you to catalog the locations and descriptions of your organization's geospatial resources in a central repository called a geoportal, which you can publish to the Internet or your intranet. Visitors to the geoportal can search and access these resources to use with their projects. If you grant them permission, visitors can also register geospatial resources with the geoportal. Geoportals give you an enterprise-level view of your geospatial resources regardless of their type or location. Resources are registered with a geoportal using metadata, which describes the location, age, quality, and other characteristics of the resources. With access to this information about resources, an organization can make decisions based on the best resources available.

With the Geoportal Server you can:

• Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of geospatial activities within your enterprise and across organizations.
• Support collaboration and cooperation among departments and organizations by facilitating the sharing of geospatial resources regardless of the GIS platform.
• Gain an enterprise-level awareness of disparate geospatial data, Web services, and activities.
• Leverage existing geospatial resources so your organization doesn't duplicate those resources or the effort to create them.
• Ensure the use of approved, high-quality datasets.
• Reduce the time users spend trying to find relevant, usable geospatial resources.
