Title Open Source Software evaluation- case study on ESRI's Geoportal Server
Abstract This session focuses on the case study of the open source software- Geoportal server from NOAA National Oceanographic Data Center. Usability tests were conducted at The American Geophysical Union meeting (Dec 2011), the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) winter meeting (Jan 2012), and Ocean Science Meeting (Feb 2012) after the release of the server. The purpose of the test was to collect feedbacks from the users in an organized way. The results from the test can help the developers of the open source tool to find a better way in meeting the users' needs.

This session will discuss the evaluation of the Geoportal Server from the developer aspect.
