+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + +GeoBlacklight is an open-source software application for discovering geospatial content, including GIS datasets, web services, and digitized paper maps.
+One of GeoBlacklight's strengths is its ability to serve as a bridge to geospatial content hosted on various platforms, simplifying the way users find and interact with data. Instead of storing data directly, GeoBlacklight focuses on integrating with existing data repositories and web services.GeoBlacklight does this through providing useful preview, download, and exports of open standards-based services, including Web Mapping Services (WMS), Web Feature Services (WFS), ArcGIS Rest API, and International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF). There is also support for externally referenced metadata viewing and file download support.
+This includes offering previews, downloads, and access to data through web standards such as Web Mapping Services (WMS), Web Feature Services (WFS), the ArcGIS Rest API, and the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF). Additionally, GeoBlacklight enables supplemental metadata views and downloads.
+Examples of technology providing external services:
+GeoBlacklight uses the OpenGeoMetadata Aardvark Metadata Schema by default, which has been designed to privilege discovery use cases. It supports text searching, faceted searching and refinement, and spatial searching to improve relevance and findability of data. Visit OpenGeoMetadata for more information and full documentation.
+Our core focus is geospatial discovery. This focus initially was limited to discretely catalogued data objects, but has expanded over time to include a wider range of information sources.
+We emphasize end-user experience, including inclusivity and accessibility in design features.
+We prioritize stability by semantically versioning our application releases and metadata schemas.
+We aim for GeoBlacklight to be simple to adopt and easy to maintain. We recognize that many adopters are in the cultural heritage space where metadata and software development resources can be limited.
+We make GeoBlacklight customizable for common use cases, and extensible to a plugin for a less-common use case.
+We leverage existing communities. Building on established standards gives us more bandwidth to focus on discovery and developing plugins.
+Excellent geospatial analysis and mapping tools already exist. Rather than build new ones in GeoBlacklight, we focus on integration with these existing tools.
+Open source model: GeoBlacklight is an open source software project licensed using the Apache License, version 2.0. Our development practices have been codified in a contribution guide since December 2015 and we use semantic versioning to release the Ruby on Rails engine to RubyGems. Changes are made to the codebase using pull requests to the GitHub source code repository.
+Connected frameworks: Many of the development practices for the GeoBlacklight project have foundations in other open source software communities. A strategic design decision was made to build on existing pools of expertise in organizations with Blacklight and Samvera rather than build a completely custom system. The project also relies heavily on configuration and extensibility as useful patterns for adopters making customizations.
+Decision-making: Much of the technical decision-making is driven from the original GeoBlacklight Concept Design document and has been further distilled into our GeoBlacklight Technical Values. Major and minor decisions are made using informal consensus.
+Testing: GeoBlacklight has Continuous Integration Testing, and tests are expected to be written with code contributions to the project. The project also implements both Ruby and JavaScript style guides to ensure a stylistically similar codebase.
+Funding: There is no funding model for GeoBlacklight, and most development comes through volunteered or assigned time from contributing organizations. Some projects have received grants or dedicated funds to build their GeoBlacklight applications. Our community also includes private vendors and independent freelancers that have contributed to the project through contracted work.
+GeoBlacklight Software Versioning: GeoBlacklight follows the practice of Semantic Versioning for software releases. The declared semantically versioned public API includes:
+The GeoBlacklight software stack consists of several open source software projects which work together to enable a better discovery experience.
+GeoBlacklight is the main discovery interface for geospatial data. It is developed as a Ruby on Rails engine and built on top of the popular open-source discovery interface Blacklight.
+Developers from Harvard University have created a built instance of GeoBlacklight in a Docker context. This will allow new and existing users to test and develop an instance of GeoBlacklight within the Docker environment.
+ +GeoBlacklight is built to use the OpenGeoMetadata schema, which is designed for GIS resource discovery and focuses mainly on discovery use cases. Text search, faceted search and refinement, and spatial search and relevancy are among the primary features that the schema enables.
+ +A community format for sharing index maps in GeoBlacklight and a repository that hosts community-produced GeoJSON index maps that facilitate discovery within GeoBlacklight portals.
+ +This GeoBlacklight plugin captures remote images from geographic web services and saves them locally.

+GeoMonitor is a Ruby on Rails application used to monitor geowebservices. It was built out of the premise that users who are looking for and find data should actually be able to access and use it. The application is setup to periodically monitor WMS web services and log data on a layers availability.
