摘要
Widening awareness of geodiversity involves widening access to data on the topic, presented in formats usable by non-specialists. Although there has been a trend for governmental agencies, research organizations and other institutions to make their data freely available, the interfaces for working with these data are usually geared to the specialist user, creating a digital divide. We present the use of geobrowsers (simple, usually free, Geographical Information Systems applications) as a means of delivering spatially-attributed data relating to geodiversity in a familiar interface, while retaining the links to the original specialist databases.
