The ShareGeo team are pleased to announce that their new Depositor plug-in has just been released. This plug-in makes uploading spatial data to ShareGeo Open from ArcGIS easy. Simply download the plug-in by clicking the link below and follow the install instructions. Then all you have to do is to select the spatial data in ArcCatalog and click the plug-in. The plug-in will grab all the relevant files for you and extract metadata from your data. All that’s left to do is add a couple of pieces of information about what the data is and how it was made, then press the big publish button. The data will then be published on ShareGeo Open. Easy. To download the ShareGeo Open Depositor tool, click the link below: http://www.sharegeo.ac.uk/ ShareGeo Open is a data repository for Open data. There are lots of useful spatial datasets that have been deposited by users for others to download and re-use. This create – share – reuse philosophy is central to ShareGeo Open. If you have spatial data that you think others may find useful, or if just want to browse the datasets held in ShareGeo Open, click the link below to visit the site. http://www.sharegeo.ac.uk/ Sorry for any cross-posting.
