10. Where in the Region?
• Operational GeoNodes:
• Grenada
• Saint Lucia
• Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
• Saint Kitts and Nevis (Testing phase)
• GeoNode has been deployed at the University of
West Indies - Geo-Informatics Department led by
Dr. Opadeyi
• Soon to be deployed at the CCRIF
• Belize and Dominica next on the list
11. Geonode uses and users
• Geospatial data can be used for many purposes:
establishing baseline data, conducting risk assessments,
planning, project monitoring, and tracking progress.
• Access to high quality information is critical for project
mangers, planners, policy makers, stakeholders and
consultants involved in the development projects, as well
as students, and public sector.
• Composing, sharing and publishing geospatial data and
maps.
• Geonode lets you upload, manage, browse and search data.

13. Geonode Project Goals
• Development, Implementation and maintenance of a
Geonode portal for local and regional collaboration,
geospatial data sharing and management, to support
evidence-based decision making.
• facilitate open access to related geo-spatial information,
data and knowledge sources, encouraging others to
collaborate and share spatial data.
• Address technical challenges of both national and regional
geospatial data management, including GSDI, data-sharing,
metadata policies, infrastructure, technological capacity,
and open-source data platforms.

34. Questions?
• Does GeoNode attempt to replace ArcGIS, Mapinfo, Geomedia,
etc.?
• Does GeoNode support MrSID, ECW, Arcgrid, JPEG 2000, and
World Files?
• Does GeoNode work with MySQL, Oracle spatial, MS SQL, Arc
SDE?
• Does GeoNode support OGC standards? (eg. WMS, WFS, WCS,
CSW, TMS)
• Does GeoNode support uploading data in different
projections/datums?
• Is GeoNode really open source?
