A Source is a definition for where data was or can be retrieved from. Most spatial Items, such as Buildings, Areas and Neighborhoods, maintain a list of the Sources they are based on.
A Source's primary property is the URL it is directed to. The data found at the URL's endpoint is then interpreted based on the Source's configured Service Type. Sources based on local files are only stored using their file names.
When a Source is defined as a web source, it can be used as a source for the retrieval of data, either manually via the Geo Data Wizard, or automatically via a Geo Plugin.
Service Type
Data interpretation and usage depend on the external source or service. This means that for any given Source, an appropriate Service Type must be configured.
The following Service Types are available:
| Type | Used for |
|---|---|
| BGT_GML | New Project Wizard, for Projects situated in the Netherlands. |
| CYCLO_IMAGE | Currently not used. |
| DXF | Autocad Exchange format |
| ESRI_IMAGE | Connection to an ESRI-hosted WMS for image data. |
| ESRI_JSON | Connection to an ESRI-hosted WFS for vector data which supports providing data in a geojson format. |
| GEOJSON | GeoJSON files, such as those hosted on the GeoShare. |
| GEOPACKAGE | Open Geospatial Consortium GeoPackage |
| GEOTIFF | GeoTIFF files, such as those hosted on the GeoShare. |
| I3S | New Project Wizard, Connection to ESRI-hosted I3S services for Custom Geometry data. |
| OSM | New Project Wizard, for Projects not situated in the Netherlands. |
| WCS_TIFF | Connection to a WCS for grid data which supports providing data in a GeoTIFF format. |
| WFS_GML | Connection to a WFS for vector data which supports providing data in a gml-conformant XML format. |
| WFS_JSON | Connection to a WFS for vector data which supports providing data in a GeoJSON format. |
| WMS_IMAGE | Connection to a WMS for image data which supports providing data in a png or jpeg format. |
Notes
- When creating a new Source for your project, the Service Types selectable are a subset of all possible types: WFS, WMS, I3S, CityGML and GeoShare. Ensure these correspond to the technical types listed in the Service Type table.
- Sourced Items record the Sources that created them or updated their properties.
- When a User manually changes a sourced Item, a Source related to this User is obtained or created and linked to this Item.
