Makes publishing easy
• Upload data through the web
• Edit metadata in the same place
• Restrict access if you need to
GeoNode Features
LCSSD BBL: GeoNode – 10/20/2010 Galen Evans, gevans@worldbank.org
Makes publishing useful• Convert to many output formats
– Google Earth works immediately after upload
• Build maps combining uploaded layers- Link, embed, download
• Style layers in context
GeoNode Features
LCSSD BBL: GeoNode – 10/20/2010 Galen Evans, gevans@worldbank.org
Collect metadata– Provided through browser editor– Associated with users– What maps is a layer in?– What tags do other users add?
GeoNode Features
LCSSD BBL: GeoNode – 10/20/2010 Galen Evans, gevans@worldbank.org
Metadata and the actual data in the same place and maintained through one easy-to-use interface.
View and Explore Data

Two GIS Analysts, both in the same organization
I really need a forests dataset…
Finally! Finished that forests dataset

Use Case
LCSSD BBL: GeoNode – 10/20/2010 Galen Evans, gevans@worldbank.org
GeoNode allows Analyst B to easily share the forests dataset with Analyst A – even if they don’t know each other
Analyst B Creates Data
Analyst B uploads data to
GeoNode
Analyst A finds and downloads
data
This allows for improved efficiency, and higher quality results
