NJGIN 3.0 – Federated Search & Sharing. The familiar NJGIN portal, https://njgin.nj.gov, is being rebuilt as part of a project known as NJGIN 3.0. NJGIN 3.0 uses an entirely new technology foundation compared to the previous NJGIN portal, released back in 2003. Today we are leveraging Esri’s ArcGIS Online Open Data web application as the search interface for geospatial content. ArcGIS Online also forms the distributed Software as a Service framework that allows data stewards to retain complete control over their authoritative content while supporting federated Search from the central NJGIN 3.0 portal. In this techspo we will present this underlying technical architecture, the capabilities that it provides to the NJ GIS community and also a number of best practices for those data stewards who wish to participate.
