A SPARQL service is also now available. This will be the initial entry point https://sparql.geoplatform.gov/ into the GeoPlatform Cached datasets for RDF and SPARQL related services. This service takes advantage of the ONTOP Virtual Knowledge Graph and tie directly into our existing cached data sources.

Bugs¶

When users clicked on any of the menu items on top, the button or menu that was selected was not highlighted. This made it difficult for users to identify which menu they were currently at.

Stories¶

Terriamap now configured to post and get saved share link configurations from s3 using out of the box accessKeyId and secretAccessKey for S3 access.

AND functionality within search

GeoPlatform search uses an OR operator to search terms across title, abstract and keyword fields. The result of using the OR across multiple fields increases the number of search results returned as words are added to the search term. Instead of increasing the search result count as new words are added to the search term, fewer results should be returned to the user. An AND operator may be used to decrease the number of search results returned as the user adds words to the search term.

Bugs¶

Has Image rule doesn’t handle SVG

An SVG browse graphic causes an exception in the has Image rule. The FGDC guidance does specify JPG or PNG but GN displays the SVG. Create an error for the rule that specifies that SVG is not a supported format.

Review Logging use

Adjust non-fatal errors to use logger.warn instead of logger.error to prevent unwanted cloudwatch alarms and for general code cleanup.

March 2022 (Version 1.22.0)¶

Welcome to the March 2022 release of GeoPlatform.gov. Excited about some new tools being released this month and improvements to our FAIR Insights: New FAIR Insight Rules - We are continuing to add additional rules to support data being Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable in GeoPlatform.

FAIR Insight Rules¶

Rule: Point of Contact (GS-1652)

While there are many opportunities within the ISO metadata record to identify contacts, the inclusion of a Point of Contact enables Data.gov and the GeoPlatform to direct users to a single point of inquiry for the resource. To facilitate discovery by ‘organization’ within Data.gov and the GeoPlatform, the Point of Contact should be the agency directly responsible for the metadata publication. In addition to designating the publishing agency as the Point of Contact, it is important to designate the associated Responsible Party Role as ‘publisher’, as shown below.

Rule: Vocabulary/Code List (GS-1565)

This FAIR Insight rule checks for FGDC recommended code lists and that their code types are valid. Code List Vocabulary and Codes are referenced from the official ISO codelist here: https://standards.iso.org/iso/19115/resources/Codelists/cat/codelists.xml

Rule: Maintenance Frequency Code (GS-1567)

Notable Fixes¶

GS-1663 Ability to now sort by date on GeoMarketplace
GS-1223 Improved 404 response page
Various Demo improvements (GS-1588)

Coming Soon¶

A new knowledge base website is being developed for April 2022
