Common user interfaces
OBIS allows to store, manage and visualize a number of different data types as described in OBIS: getting started, e.g. time series data and geodata. In general, the main user interfaces to all of these data show a similar behavior and offer the same functionality which will be outlined in the next sections.
Links between datasets
In many cases, a single OBIS dataset is a compound, conisting of more than one element. As an example, a time series dataset may consist of
- a metadata description of that dataset
- the real time series data
- links to a measurement station the time series data have been measured at
- one or more documents containing the real data or preview images of them
- a map layer to be used to display interactive maps in through the OBIS mapserver
