How to Use the National Geothermal Data System (NGDS) and NGDS Node Deployment David CUYLER, Arlene ANDERSON, Kim PATTEN [Stanford University, USA]

Learn how to discover and access geothermal data served from more than 60 different sources unified by a catalog and standardized metadata. The National Geothermal Data System (NGDS) implements the National Science Foundation sponsored U.S. Geosciences Information Network exchange approach to data publication; provides a standards-based software stack for open data; requires good documentation (metadata) for datasets to make data discoverable and useful; requires ongoing maintenance and is available from the NGDS Design & Testing project team led by Boise State University.
