Introduction

GeoCat Bridge© for QGIS enables you to publish your metadata in a spatial catalogue (CSW), like GeoNetwork opensource, and your map as OGC data services (WMS/WMTS/WFS/WCS) in GeoServer or MapServer. Bridge also offers the option to export metadata, symbology and/or data to your local computer as files.

This plugin has been developed by GeoCat. GeoCat focuses on the development, customization and support of cutting-edge geospatial software, especially geospatial catalog software on both server and desktop. GeoCat provides all-in-one solutions for the Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) that offer a geospatial catalog, map server and map client. The solutions are based on established Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects, open standard protocols and will be customized to the needs of different clients.

The founder of GeoCat worked for many years with the United Nations where he founded the GeoNetwork Opensource project. Today GeoNetwork Opensource can be considered the leading open source geospatial catalog application with numerous international and national geo-portal implementations.
