indigeo , which in Latin means "to need...", is a Geographic Data Infrastructure (GDI) dedicated to research and scientific observation of the environment in the west.
It was implemented in 2013 at the initiative of the CNRS LETG Joint Research Unit and is based on the Brest Observatory of Universe Sciences (IUEM) and the Brest-Iroise Workshop Zone (ZABrI).
It consists of a metadata catalog and a geospatial data server backed by a map viewer. It is based on free tools (GeoNetwork, GeoServer, GeoCMS, ManageChart, etc.) and thus allows the data to be brought to light and made available in accordance with the European INSPIRE directive, the FAIR principles and, more generally, open science.
Since the beginning of 2015, indigeo has also been part of the International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN).
