# A usable spatial data publication platform This repository is a placeholder for project management around developments in topic2 of the spatial-data-on-the-web testbed. Topic 2 is about a platform approach for spatial data on the web, making it easy to find and use. The leading perspective of this research topic is using the data. Its goal is to find out how to make spatial data e.g. the Dutch Base registry Addresses and Buildings (BAG) easy to find and more specifically to explore the data of 'government as a platform' i.e. make data easier to use by providing not only the data itself but also a community surrounding is. Here is a short overview of the different parts that Spotzi will address: Task 1: Updating data Task 2: Workflows Task 3: Searchable datastore Task 4: Non spatial data Task 5: Link to formal definitions Task 6: Toolchain Task 7: Reference system Task 8: Linked Data Task 9: Showcase We're using the CartoDB platform as a fundament for our system. CartoDB is an open source data visualization tool. Here are some links that we've created for our research: The platform itself: http://geonovum.spotzi.com WIKI (non-geo environment): http://geonovumwiki.spotzi.com/ Feel free to test for yourself and contact us if you have any questions
