Meeting Notes

Reviewing the Geospatial Data Archiving Quick Reference document. Diane Papineau described the origins of the document. It came out of her experience with the GeoMAPP project and she developed it as a quick reference to hand out at a couple of GIS conferences in 2013.

She imagined the audience for the document as GIS people; data creators, anyone who has a hand on the data who "pushes the delete button." After further discussion the group felt that the document audience could be broadened to include anyone engaged in the stewardship of geospatial data, including archives and libraries.

After some document discussion, the group moved on to brainstorming possible speakers for future calls. The list below is an informal start:

• Vendors in the Geo space
• Safe Software and their FME tool (http://www.safe.com/fme/fme-technology/)
• Archivematica (are they doing special work with geospatial data?)
• ESRI to talk about their perspective on facilitating geoarchiving (Andrew Turner)
• Mapbox data publishing platform (https://www.mapbox.com/about/)
• Mikel Maron (geopreservation w/OpenStreetMap)Listserv a https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic
• Openstreetmap generally (http://www.openstreetmap.org)
• Open Geospatial Consortium preservation people (David Arctur used to be engaged but may have a new job. Who is the current Director of Interoperability programs?
• Karl Grossner (karlg@stanford.edu) & Kathy Weimer (k-weimer@library.tamu.edu) on their efforts to start an ADHO GeoHumanities SIG
• Wade Bishop (library school instructor w/Laura Bush grant to do research on training geospatial librarians). Wade Bishop, Assistant Professor, School of Information Sciences, U of Tennessee. wade.bishop@utk.edu http://scholar.cci.utk.edu/wade-bishop/publications

• OpenGeoportal (Patrick at Tufts)
• Preservica
