Introduction

For the Minerals4EU and EuRare projects and later ProSUM project, data providers configured a complex features WFS, providing data conforming to the ERML data model. For those starting from scratch an out-of-the box solution was provided utilising deegree (WFS server) + PostgreSQL (database). For the database DDL was provided to create all the necessary tables, views, and codelists, and similarly for the WFS, a configuration was provided to map the database (views) to the XML ERML output. For the task of mapping a data providers data to the database structure, GeoKettle ETL software was provided with examples of transformations.

Original documentation

The original documentation, software and configuration for Minerals4U was on a subversion repository at: http://data.geus.dk/svn/m4eu/ . This now seems to have been migrated to https://geusgitlab.geus.dk/m4eu

Software update considerations

deegree is a Java application, that runs on Tomcat or other Java Servlet engines. Tomcat requires a requires a Java Standard Edition Runtime Environment (JRE) to be installed on the server.

Repo has been updated with later versions of software, latest versions might not work, especially WRT deegree.
