Background

• How this works - Links! No extension yet
• Integration without Integration
• User accounts managed by third party service
• How we worked with partners - outreach, legal
• Experimentation with Chrome extension

Additional Considerations

• Metadata quality - correct formats
• File size limits

What Could Be

• Datastore integration. Example of Excel plugin
• Integration with other APIs. Precedent with geospatial
• Standards and domain specific apps - indentify standards in metadata

What's Next

• Package as an extension
• Define a spec that all platforms can implement
• Share application and file format profiles. Publish registry

Feedback
