Abstract
Several factors must be considered in designing a highly accurate, reliable, scalable, and user-friendly geospatial data search interfaces. This paper examines four critical questions that ought to be considered during design phase: (1) Is the search interface or API that provides the search capability useable by both humans and machines? (2) Are the results consistent and reliable? (3) Is the output response format free to use, community-defined, and non-propriety? (4) Does the API clearly state the usage clauses? This paper discusses how certain data repositories at the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory apply FAIR data principles to enable geospatial searches and address the above-mentioned questions.
