We also have to understand that the ease of access that datas has become an absolute , especially when we want an accurate analysis results. GIS data portal or also known as ordinary Geoportal is one vehicle that can be built to achieve the effective sharing of data.

Let us review with a simple sentence what GIS data portal is. GIS data portal is a portal (gateway) which can be used to browse and search for GIS data.

But if it also includes servicing in access / download data either with different level limitations, the portal is then also known as the Clearinghouse.

Related to Climate Change, let's see an example of a GIS data portal that provides access to GIS users with interests in the GIS Climate Change, Scenarios Climate Change (http://www.gisclimatechange.org/). Here you can get the data analysis of global climate change in shapefile format. This file can be downloaded by registering first (quite simple). Furthermore, also available tutorial how to analyze these datas using ArcGIS to predict global climate change. The analysis used involves many attributes (ie spatial joint). GIS data with the presence of a portal for easy access to spatial data, of course very helpful to all fields, especially GIS users to better refine his study particularly in relation to Climate Change.
