*What is GeoNode?*
GeoNode is a web-based application and platform for developing geospatial
information systems (GIS) and for deploying spatial data infrastructures
(SDI). It is a platform for the management and publication of geospatial
data and does so by bringing together mature open source software projects
under an easy to use interface. GeoNode offers the ability for
non-specialised users to share data and create interactive maps.

For more information about GeoNode, please visit the GeoNode website;
