Migrated to InvenioRDM
New York University Libraries (UltraViolet)
NYU Libraries moved its Spatial Data Repository — previously a GeoBlacklight instance backed by PostGIS — into UltraViolet, its InvenioRDM deployment. A developer's account describes building geospatial handling into the platform: source data was a collection of OpenGeoMetadata (OGM) Aardvark-schema JSON files, and a command-line loader was written to translate those records for InvenioRDM. The work also involved standing up GeoServer (automated with an Ansible playbook) so the repository could serve map data alongside standard research outputs. The migration let NYU consolidate varied digital assets into one InvenioRDM platform while keeping specialised geospatial previews.
