DESCRIPTION:At our institute we manage a lot of input data and model outcom
 es of soil data to be shared online. We experienced that updating service 
 configurations and metadata records can be quite a challenge\, when manage
 d manually at various locations. We've been working on tooling to help us 
 automate the publication processes. These days data publications are set u
 p as CI-CD processes on Gitlab/Kubernetes.\nThese efforts resulted in a se
 ries of tools which we call the Python Data\n Crawler. The crawler spiders
  a folder of files\, extracts and creates metadata records for the spatial
  files\, as well as generates a Mapserver configuration for the data to be
  published as OGC services. Underneath we're building on the tools provide
 d by the amazing FOSS4G community\, such as GDAL\, Mapserver\, pygeometa\,
  owslib\, mappyfile\, rasterio and fiona.\nA typical use case for this sof
 tware is with many organizations maintaining a file structure of project f
 iles. The crawler would index all the (spatial) data files\, register the 
 metadata records in a catalogue and users would query the catalogue from Q
 GIS Metasearch to find and load relevant data.\nWe will present our findin
 gs around the project at the conference and hope to talk to institutes wit
 h similar challenges\, to see if we can create an open source software pro
 ject around the Python Geodata Crawler.
