How to create a WFS for data on the GeoShare

From Tygron Support wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Data on the GeoShare is generally available as full files. Alternatively, GeoShare data can be provided via a WFS. This requires the creation of a GeoShare Viewer on the GeoShare, but will allow both the Tygron Platform as well as other software to connect and consult the data easily.

Editor → Current Situation (Ribbon tab) → Geo Import (Ribbon bar) → Geo Share (Dropdown)
How to add a GeoShare WFS:
  1. Ensure the file or files you wish to make available via WFS are present on the GeoShare, in the same folder.
  2. Click on "Add Viewer" to add a new "Viewer" to the GeoShare in this location.
  3. A prompt will appear for the name. Enter a descriptive name for the viewer.
  4. A prompt will appear for a file. Select the (first) file which needs to be made available via this Viewer, and via the WFS.
  5. To include additional files in the same Viewer and WFS, add them one by one.
  6. When all relevant files are added, decline to add more files. A Viewer will now be added alongside the files.
  7. Click on the "edit" icon to access the details of the WFS.
  8. Click on "WFS Link". This will open the Viewer's WFS in the web browser.
  9. Copy the WFS URL from the browser's address bar for use in Tygron Platform or other applications.

Notes

  • Each file is represented as a separate layer. Layers can be added and removed via the details overview of the WFS.
  • A WFS can optionally be secured from arbitrary access with a web token. This setting is active by default.
