Virtual machine is downloadable here: http://geosk.ve.ismar.cnr.it/static/vm-sk-1.2-10-5345344/starterkit-disk1.vmdk
For the GET-IT quick installation you need to:
  • find the “right” Domain name to create your local node;

GET-IT is the first open-source and collaborative effort toward the integration of traditional geographic information with observational data from sensor, by addressing in a unique tool visualization and metadata editing for both categories of data. GET-IT allows you:
  • to manage different geospatial data categories (layer, observations and documents);
  • to create views by using different data categories;
  • to create and directly associate metadata to layers and information of sensor MD with its observations;
  • to manage data accessibility on the web
  • to make data available via standard OGC protocols (WMS, WCS, WFS)
  • to make metadata available according to INSPIRE/RNDT/SensorML standard
