Geographical data or geo data is data which have a location component. Almost all data is linked to a location or a place and are, therefore, geo data. Geo data can be, for example, a paper map, a digital web map or just a simple text file with coordinates. Geo datasets is either '''vector data''' (that is, features which are points, lines or polygons) or '''raster data''' (that is, data in grid cells). The features in vector data can have multiple attributes with values. Raster data mostly consist of a value and a color.

The {{software}} uses Geo data (vector and raster data) for building up a new [[project]]. For this, the {{software}} automatically connects to (Open) [[Project_Sources#Sources_connected_to_the_Tygron_Platform|Datasets]], based on the availability of the data for the chosen location of the project. For example the Base Registers in the Netherlands and Open Street Maps worldwide.

==When to use your own data==
==When to use your own data==
You need the Data Wizard when you want to import data in the {{software}}. This may be for a number of reasons:
* The project takes place in a location for which there are no data sources available to create the project
* The project takes place in a location for which there are no data sources available to create the project
* The default data sources are not accurate or up-to-date enough  
* The default data sources are not accurate or up-to-date enough  
* The default datasets are not detailed enough
* The default datasets are not detailed enough
* To do a more extendend analysis in the {{software}}
* To do a more extended analysis in the {{software}}
* To use in combination with an Excel Indicator or Panel
* To use in combination with an Excel Indicator or Panel
* For creating more overview in your project, for example by highlighting areas
* For creating more overview in your project, for example by highlighting areas
In these situations, data in the {{software}} can be overwritten or supplemented by the user.
In these situations, it might be useful to overwrite or import data.
 
==Which data can be uploaded to the {{software}}==
Almost all data can be imported in the {{software}}, as long as the data is about a specific location and has a geometry. Thus basically when the data is geo data.
This means that also [[Spatial plans|spatial plans]] can be imported in the {{software}}.
 
==Requirements on Geo Data==
There are several requirements for loading in [[GEO_Data|Geo data]]. The Data Wizard helps you to transform your data to the proper format for importing.
# Geo Data in the {{software}} are always polygons. Line and point features are not allowed by the {{software}}. The wizards helps you by buffering the line and point features to polygons.
# All desired attributes must be numerical, so that they can be loaded as valid [[attribute]] values. Non-numeric attributes are ignored when attempting to load them as attributes.
 
==How to import Geo Data==
There are three methods for importing Geo Data in the data wizard. These methods can be divided into two: uploading data from a file to the {{software}} and the other is downloading data through an URL to the {{software}}.
# Through a [[GeoJSON]] file
# Through a [[WFS|Web Feature Service (WFS)]]
# Through a [[CSW|Catalogue Service for the Web (CSW)]]
The method to choose is based on how you have your data available.
# It is also possible to import a [[WMS|Web Map Service (WMS)]]. Read the section how to import data from a WMS.
#Geotiff


==Used Datasets==
==View Geo data==
To show Geo data in other software, such as a GIS, options are:
* the [[Overlay]]s can be obtained through a [[WMS]] URL. See the [[WMS]] page for more information and steps.
* the [[Buildings]] can be obtained through a [[WFS]] URL. See the [[WFS]] page for more information and steps.


The table below contains the datasets that are automatically accessed when selecting a location within The Netherlands while creating a new project. When selecting a location outside The Netherlands it is more likely that some Geo Data should be provided manually. Furthermore, the {{software}} provides an overview of the used Geo Datasets in the [[Project_Sources|Project Sources]] overview.

Geographical data or geo data is data which have a location component. Almost all data is linked to a location or a place and are, therefore, geo data. Geo data can be, for example, a paper map, a digital web map or just a simple text file with coordinates. Geo datasets is either vector data (that is, features which are points, lines or polygons) or raster data (that is, data in grid cells). The features in vector data can have multiple attributes with values. Raster data mostly consist of a value and a color.

How do Geo datasets relate to the Tygron Platform

Tygron Platform loading screen showing several of the data connections

The Tygron Platform uses Geo data (vector and raster data) for building up a new project. For this, the Tygron Platform automatically connects to (Open) Datasets, based on the availability of the data for the chosen location of the project. For example the Base Registers in the Netherlands and Open Street Maps worldwide. A principle that generally applies: if your project lacks certain information, then it is not available in the used datasets.
For more information on which data is used for your generating your project, see the project sources page. To add missing Geo data you can add additional Geo data manually (see below for options).

When to use your own data

  • The project takes place in a location for which there are no data sources available to create the project
  • The default data sources are not accurate or up-to-date enough
  • The default datasets are not detailed enough
  • To do a more extended analysis in the Tygron Platform
  • To use in combination with an Excel Indicator or Panel
  • For creating more overview in your project, for example by highlighting areas

In these situations, it might be useful to overwrite or import data.

View Geo data

To show Geo data in other software, such as a GIS, options are:

  • the Overlays can be obtained through a WMS URL. See the WMS page for more information and steps.
  • the Buildings can be obtained through a WFS URL. See the WFS page for more information and steps.
