About the Project

Project Overview

SPIN Geospatial Data Registry provides a moderated national registry with standards-based publish, discover, and download flows plus open catalog APIs. Key areas include upload and processing, ISO metadata, spatial search, STAC/OGC/DCAT interoperability, roles and moderation, analytics, favorites, and permissions.

Problem Statement

Geospatial data across India is siloed. Without standard metadata and harvestable catalogs, discovery and reuse are difficult.

Solution

A FAIR-aligned national catalog with ISO 19115 metadata, spatial search, governed roles, and STAC / OGC API Records / DCAT endpoints.

Target Users

  • Government GIS teams
  • Researchers
  • Open-data publishers
  • National catalog operators

Key Features

ISO Metadata

ISO 19115 metadata for governed geospatial records.

Spatial Search

Search and inventory datasets across the registry.

Open Catalog APIs

STAC, OGC API Records, and DCAT interoperability.

Roles & Moderation

Governed publish, favorites, and permissioned access.

Value Proposition

Unified discovery of national geospatial datasets with harvestable open catalogs and governed access.
