Comments on: Better Know a GeoCommons Feature – OpenSearch http://blog.geoiq.com/2010/01/05/better-know-a-geocommons-feature-opensearch/ News and updates from GeoIQ Wed, 23 May 2012 08:01:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: andrew http://blog.geoiq.com/2010/01/05/better-know-a-geocommons-feature-opensearch/#comment-1170 andrew Mon, 18 Oct 2010 02:44:20 +0000 http://blog.fortiusone.com/?p=1236#comment-1170 Thanks Stephen - you're right that "Finder" and "Maker" aren't there anymore. We've merged them into a simpler GeoCommons. So you can now do universal search using opensearch from any page on GeoCommons. Let us know if you have trouble with the new design.

A standard is always better than a proprietary format or approach. Folks may disagree but I'll go a step further and say a Web aligned standard is most often better than a GIS standard. The CSW spec took us 14 days to implement and Opensearch took a little over a day. The CSW spec is over 200 pages and the OpenSearch spec is a couple of pages. Good news being the OGC is considering adopting OpenSearch (only 24 pages ;-). In our experience Opensearch has allowed the community to create a large number of simple interfaces into Geocommons - including ArcMap, Google Earth, Jive, Windows 7, Chrome, IE8 and Firefox.
