Publication service of geodatasets [BRGM]

BRGM logo

Public Authorities at various levels must now share their geo-information data in the environmental field with the public and other authorities.
In the "Publication service of geodatasets" use case, implemented by BRGM, the IGC platform provides both producers and users with an infrastructure offering the relevant interfaces and technical support to ensure the quality and success of the publication of availablegeodatasets.
Once a few basic conditions are fulfilled (internet access, specific files format, availability and access on the Internet…), the IGC platform enables producers to publish their geo-datasets on the Internet as webservices, compliant with OGC international standards and INSPIRE. They can combine them into maps including data and layers from various sources, in different formats, which they can customize adding symbols, characteristics, attributes and parameters, as needed.
Specific requirements are set upstream(producer): various tools and controls are applied during the process to ensure compliancy of datasets and specific locks added to secure access to the publication by the public. Further requirements are linked to performance, capacity, availability of services following the INSPIRE prescriptions.
Downstream, the configuration of the interface and services provides a user-friendly and performing tool for the citizens to access public information made available in the environmental field.
