This repository is the most current source for geospatial metadata housed within the NYU Libraries collection, the Spatial Data Repository. We encourage any institution to index our metadata into their own discovery environment(s).
Our metadata is validated to be in compliance with the current GeoBlacklight 1.0 schema through Travis-CI. Click the "build-failing" button to see which of our records (if any) have validation errors.
There are many potential ways members of the GeoBlacklight community can enhance our metadata. Some examples include (but are not limited to):
- Fixing typos
- Normalizing string values for subjects and placenames
- Adding placename strings to records
- Enhancing descriptions
- Correcting errors on bounding box values
- Suggesting references for contextual information
- Submitting fixes for invalid records
We prefer that enhancements be consolidated into as few branches as possible. Here is a suggested workflow:
- Fork this reports
- Make all changes to the files locally while preserving our naming convention
- Submit a pull request based on your fork and describe the nature of your changes
- Assign the review task to Andrew Battista or Taylor Hixson
If you have any questions about remediating this metadata or would like to discuss larger-scale remediation projects, please reach out to Andrew Battista or Taylor Hixson or create an issue within this repository.
