This organization contains an initial set of tools to curate special collections of GIS data as services through standard open and selected proprietary protocols. Currently it includes a back end data store in a containerized kubernetes environment, a set of tools for data management and curation, and a front end search engine to browse the data catalog.

There are several key components to GDSC:

1. metadata repository: currently an excel file stored on Box
2. kubernetes cluster with rook-ceph storage and a clone of the kubernetes repository (current control plane at kmaster.idsc.miami.edu)
3. administrative machine with a clone of the tools repository (your data management and curation machine)
4. a set of custom container images in the docker repository used by the kubernetes implementation

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.

These components provide several internet services (development machine):

1. A simple search interface at https://gdsc.idsc.miami.edu (http://localhost:5000)
2. A vector tile server at https://gdsc.idsc.miami.edu/vector/ (http://localhost:7800)
3. A SOLR index of the metadata repository at http://10.141.251.20:8983 (http://localhost:8983)
4. A PostgREST endpoint for database queries at http://10.141.251.21:3000 (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:

• general architecture
