Definition
- The term geolibrary was introduced in 1998 by the geographer Michael Goodchild to explicitly identify an emerging class of digital system, the “library filled with georeferenced information,” as an important element of the growing global spatial data infrastructure. The geolibrary concept grew out of efforts at organizing and providing shared access to the digital holdings of map libraries and spatial data repositories.
