This release marks a whopping 20 years since the first release of the standards-compliant, open-source metadata application. The release includes enhancements driven from customer requests and industry developments around data discovery:
- Implement Spatio-Temporal Asset Catalog (STAC) API. This fairly new specification is quickly gaining popularity for managing large volumes of imagery, lidar data files, etc.
- Use in combination with KoopJS to build very large Oriented Imagery Catalogs (OIC).
- Enhancements in harvesting metadata from ArcGIS and to ArcGIS. Geoportal Server can be used as companion to ArcGIS Enterprise/Online implementations for organizations who want to enhance their users' search experience.
As always, release and source code are available online:
