More Data Now Discoverable Through Geodisy

February 10, 2021

Geodisy now includes a much larger collection of data for map-based search and discovery! Geodisy, an open-source geospatial discovery platform for Canadian open research data, previously harvested data exclusively from Scholars Portal Dataverse. 

With this update, Geodisy now pulls directly from the Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR)’s harvested metadata collection, which includes content from over 70 Canadian research data repositories. In addition to indexing datasets from Dataverse repositories with either geospatial metadata or geospatial files, Geodisy now also includes datasets with bounding box metadata from all repositories harvested by FRDR. The team continues to work toward processing geospatial files and place name metadata from additional repository platforms.
