GDSC is a set of configurations and tools to curate special collections of GIS data.
Currently it includes a back end data store in a containerized k8s environment, a set of tools for data management and curation, and a front end search engine to browse the data catalog.
Please see the installation notes in the docs repository.
There main repositories for GDSC are:
- kubernetes - tools for managing the k8s cluster
- tools - to manage data curation and ingest
There are several other key components to GDSC:
- metadata repository - currently an excel file stored on Box
- docker repository used to build containers used by GDSC
Note: the kubernetes repository can also be run on localhost as a development machine and managed by the tools repository on the same development machine.
The above components provide several internet services (development machine):
- A simple search interface at https://gdsc.idsc.miami.edu (http://localhost:5000)
- A vector tile server at https://gdsc.idsc.miami.edu/vector/ (http://localhost:7800)
- A SOLR index of the metadata repository at https://gdsc.idsc.miami.edu/solr/solr/ (http://localhost:8983)
- A PostgREST endpoint for database queries at https://gdsc.idsc.miami.edu/functions/ (http://localhost:3000)
The GDSC data store is also linked to an ArcGIS Portal server at https://portal.gdsc.miami.edu (not part of the Kubernetes implementation).
For most documentation see the README files in respective directories of each repository in this organization. A few general notes are in the docs repository for:
