TerriaMap is an Australian Open Source web application for building web-based map viewers, Atlases and Digital Twin Interfaces. The platform was originally developed by CSIRO (Australia’s national Science Agency). It is similar in concept to the European EDITO digital twin interface. TerriaMap is now supported by a commercial Support company Terria Pty ltd. (terria.io)

Terriamap was used in the “Terriamap Challenge” at the FAIREASE Hackathon in Brest in March 2025. The hackathon challenge explored how diverse environmental datasets (e.g. Argo, Omics data) and OGC and other data services (from Examind, Thredds, ERDDAP, Beacon) could be visualized and interacted with in the TerriaMap web application, allowing for cross disciplinary integration of data services from the FAIR-EASE use cases and infrastructure.

Terriamap is based on the Terriajs javascript library, the source code and user configurable files are published on Github in the [TerriaMap github repository]. Documentation on the installation and configuration of Terriamap and the various supported data services and data sources is available at https://docs.terria.io/guide/
