SDI and geographical research in French Polynesia
summary
A Spatial Data Infrastructure is deployed for French Polynesia using GeoNode + mViewer on a locally hosted instance (GeoNode 4.1.2) and open‑source tooling, tested with OPA data and working in pilot imports from a social housing operator. Governance is set by a community charter (15 organizations, ~30 active contributors) and a light steering model while technical capacity runs at ~0.25 FTE and unreliable internet. Data representation experiments use a hex grid for 118 islands across 5 archipelagos to handle complex administrative layers.
