Overview

The ArcGIS Server Geoportal extension helps organizations manage and publish metadata for their geospatial resources. It also gives users the ability to discover and connect to these resources. It supports standards-based clearing house and metadata/service directory applications.

With the Geoportal extension, users can

• Reduce time and redundancy of data production by connecting geospatial data and service producers and consumers.
• Maintain data integrity by allowing organizations to easily share the authoritative version of data among its users ("one copy of the truth" in data).
• Enable easy search and discovery of existing geospatial data and services by allowing users to create and post metadata records (citations describing their geospatial resources) efficiently.
