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 of all of these data show a similar layout and offer the same functionality which will be outlined in the next sections. As an example, the geodata data type will be used here.
Data overview
The Geodata overview lists all datasets, a contact person or organisation and a reference date. All records can be arranged in alphabetical order.
Searching data
Browsing data
Editing data
Links between datasets
In many cases, a single OBIS dataset is a compound, consisting 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
