ILMSinfo / RBIS: Import of geodata

Import or Upload?

The recommended procedure - import or upload - depends on the file size, type and content:

Shape-files:

• small size (< 5MB), relevant and displayable information (e.g. boundaries, infrastructure, result data, ...) -> Import
• big size (> 5Mb), for presenting not relevant or not displayable in the web -> Upload

geo-referenced JPEG or TIFF:

• small size (< 1MB), displayable in the web -> Import
• big size (> 1MB), non-displayable (mostly in case of TIFF-files) -> Upload

Raster data:

• relevant information for presentation (e.g. landuse, elevation, ...) should be imported as geo-referenced JPEG and the raw data uploaded as file
• big datasets (e.g. satellite images) -> Upload

Independent of the import way it is very useful to add an image as preview (e.g. map, ...).
