Esri Geoportal Server is a free, open-source, standards-based metadata catalog management application that enables the discovery and use of geospatial and nongeospatial resources. It consists of two stand-alone components—Server and Harvester—and complements ArcGIS for organizations managing, serving, and harvesting metadata.

What can Esri Geoportal Server do?

Search and discover

Esri Geoportal Server provides a stand-alone, open-source data catalog and website of metadata for existing geospatial data and services. It allows you to create and manage descriptions of geospatial resources using easy-to-use, sophisticated data discovery technologies and provides an INSPIRE-compliant discovery service.

Create metadata

Similar to ArcGIS, Esri Geoportal Server supports metadata creation and data catalog tools using common metadata profiles, including Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO North American Profile (NAP), Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE), and Dublin Core.

Harvest catalogs

The Harvester component in Esri Geoportal Server is a module that supports harvesting metadata and data assets from other catalogs and brings that content for data users into Geoportal, local folders, or ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Online.

Connect producers and consumers

Esri Geoportal Server is an open-source product that enables discovery and use of geospatial resources. Standards-based geoportals help connect geospatial data producers with consumers, such as data users and data scientists, to integrate metadata catalogs with other enterprise systems.
