Sometimes sorting through search results in the geoportal can be complicated by the number of maps and data that appear in the list but that are for a vastly different scale/resolution than are of interest. For example, if you are looking for maps of a small town, it can be distracting to have hundreds of maps show up that intersect with the area but are of the state, country, or world. This project would examine possible ways to filter by the extent of the map (we have some preliminary scripts for this) or resolution (this would be harder...)
