Does the management and sharing of information present challenges for your organisation? Iwi-Cat provides an intuitive way to organise and use your data collections. Learn how Te Tauihu Iwi are implementing a FOSS4G stack to support cultural and Taiao use cases.

This presentation will demonstrate the use of an open-source geospatial stack to support the needs of Iwi. The issue at hand focused on the difficulty in managing and leveraging information available to the best effect. The solution consists of a stack of software with GeoNetwork opensource at its core with PostGIS and Geoserver in a Tomcat container in Nginx on a Debian based Catalyst Cloud server. QGIS and GeoCAT bridge augment the input of resources. This solution provides a reliable way to manage and utilise cultural and environmental data held by the Iwi and data such as consents and sea level rise information that may impact Iwi cultural and economic resources.

Do you or the organisations you support find producing useful, standards-compliant metadata challenging? While many places exist to publish metadata for your resources, modern, easy-to-use tools for creating metadata are hard to find. We propose providing an OSGeo based managed service to ease metadata creation.

OpenWork is proposing a managed service to take the complexity and overhead out of the metadata creation process. This proposal stems from work that OpenWork has provided the ICSM Metadata Working Group creating the web-based ANZMetLive V2 hosted by Geoscience Australia and the ANZLIC ISO19115-1 Best Practice guide. OpenWork proposes to offer an extended version of the GeoNetwork based ANZMetLive V2 in a managed environment to ease the creation and validation of metadata to be used in the catalogue of one's choice. Each account would provide a customised environment for users to create metadata that fits their organisation's requirements.

One strength of FOSS4G is the ability to support open standards, yet the standards process is a mystery to many. Two experts discuss recent developments in ISO and OGC standards and how one longstanding OSGeo project plans to implement these improvements.

This talk, presented by two people with decades of experience developing and implementing open standards and open-source software, will illustrate the symbiotic relationship between open standards and open source software. The first presenter is an OGC chair of both the recently launched GeoDCAT standards working group and the Metadata and Catalogues domain working group, as well as a member of the recently launched ISO TC 211 work to develop the technical review of 19115-4, a JSON encoding of 19115-1. The second presenter founded the OSGeo GeoNetwork opensource project and will discuss recent developments in GeoNetwork to implement these standards to benefit users.

Managing and making available spatial resources is challenging for smaller organisations with limited resources, such as Iwi. Iwi-Cat provides an intuitive way to accomplish this. Workshop participants will gain hands-on experience implementing an opensource stack - consisting GeoNetwork, GeoServer, PostGIS and supported by QGIS with the GeoCat Bridge Plugin.

This workshop will demonstrate implementing and using an open-source stack composed of GeoNetwork supported by GeoServer and PostGIS. We will share how Iwi-Cat allows less experienced users to manage and access the geospatial resources they need to better their work. In this workshop, we will learn how to use GeoNetwork to create and manage ISO19115-3 metadata according to the latest guidance from ANZLIC/ICSM. We will also demonstrate using QGIS to populate the catalogue and GeoServer data services using the GeoCAT Bridge plugin, backed by PostGIS, to publish not only metadata, but the data itself easily. **Book your ticket here:** https://ti.to/osgeo-oceania/foss4g-sotm-oceania-2023-workshops. *A total of 25 spaces are available.*
