| | 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. |

| ==What is GEO Data== | | ==When to use your own data== |
| Geo data is Geographical information linking data with a location component. In this case, the information is documented in digital maps and databases. Specifically GIS-data is used because of the function to attach attributes and/or objects that are assigned to a specific location. This GIS-data contains geometric characteristics where area (not points and/or lines) information is stored in vectors. Additional information about the requirements to use Geo data in the Tygron Engine can be found on the [[GeoJSON]] page.

| ==How does GEO Data relate to the Tygron Engine?== | | ==View Geo data== |
| The Tygron Engine automatically connects relevant Geo Databases for The Netherlands to generate the [[3D World]]. When a selection is made on the map in the [[wizard]], the [[3D World]] is generated based on the available GEO Data in the connected databases. For all the different environmental elements the database with the most complete and relevant Geo data is requested. All together this forms the 3D World. For this process the following general principle applies: if your 3D World lacks certain information, it is not available in the database (as all available spatial information is automatically present in the 3D World). To add missing Geo data you can either update the information in the database and regenerate the 3D world, or you can add additional Geo data manually. More information about manually adding data is provided on the [[GeoJSON]] page and the page about [[ Legacy_Terrains#How_to_import_ArcGIS_terrains|ArcGis]].

| | * 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 following table contains the automatically connected data sources that are used when selecting a location in The Netherlands. When selecting a location outside The Netherlands Geo Data has to be provided manually. Nevertheless, the overview below can give the user a good example of the type of data that can be added to a Tygron project. At the bottom of the table an integrated data source connection is mentioned. More information about his option is explained in the next topic about when to use your own Geo data.

| ==When to use your own GEO Data?==
| |
| When a project takes place outside of The Netherlands only ESRI data is connected and will load automatically when the 3D world is generated. Beside water and elovation of land, this does not contain any information about constructions and/or environmental characteristics. Therefor it is disirable to make use of geo data to help you generate the 3D world instead of creating the 3D world manually. Adding your own data can be done in different ways. First of all you can add [[GeoJSON]] files. In [[Case_3:_Creating_a_3D_Environment_Manually_Using_GIS_Data|use case 3]] an exapmle is given of how to connect the needed Geo Data to built up a 3D environment. It is also possible to implement your own additional Geo data by using the intergrade function of [[ Legacy_Terrains#How_to_import_ArcGIS_terrains|ArcGis]]. For this function you need to have a own ArcGis account or make use of the opend data that is shared for free. So for projects outside of The Netherlands using your own data is neccecarey to create a 3D world. For any project count's that, if desired, you can add your own geo data relevant to complete the 3D world.

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.
