Organize & catalog
Bring all your data en docs together, in one place.
[ Collect & Connect ]
Bring every source together in one place
Your geodata rarely lives in one system. GeoCat connects to the places it already sits — spatial servers, file stores, databases, other catalogs and open data portals — and harvests their metadata into a single, structured catalog. Built on GeoNetwork opensource and open international standards, so nothing stays trapped in a silo.
[ Why start here ]
Everything begins with connected data
Plug into the sources you already use
Set up harvesters for CSW, OGC API, WMS/WFS, CKAN and more. GeoCat reaches out to each source on a schedule and pulls in what's new — no manual exports, no copy-paste.
Compliant metadata, automatically
As records arrive they're aligned to ISO 19115, OGC, INSPIRE and DCAT. View services and related metadata come out the other side ready to share.
One place for data and documents
Spatial layers, datasets and the documents that describe them land in a single catalog — searchable, de-duplicated and linked, instead of scattered across drives and portals.
Solid development and support
GeoCat handles development, security and up to 5 years of life-cycle support on the underlying GeoNetwork opensource platform, so your team can focus on the data.
