The Geoportal is a geospatial content management system, a platform for the management and publication of geospatial data

　　Data management tools built into this Portal allowing for integrated creation of data, metadata, and map visualizations. Each dataset in the system can be shared publicly or restricted to allow access to only specific users. Social features like user profiles and commenting and rating systems allow for the development of communities around each platform to facilitate the use, management, and quality control of the data the portal instance contains.
