Progress to date
Current Stats (Jan 2009 - July 2010):• 3487 unique users• 3277 data downloads• 99 datasets deposited (though not many
voluntarily)
How to encourage deposit…
2 key strategies:1. Offer an open version2. Create a plugin to enable direct deposit
to the repository from where users are creating data
Why ShareGeo Open now?
