Lists and Spatial Data
The Lists and Spatial Data page publishes the Geo-Objects of a Geo-Object Type as a list (a table) and as spatial data (a map layer), for a date or a period of time. You can explore, edit, curate and export the data, and publish versions that don't change.
Key terms
Set: the configuration that defines a container for creating versions of lists for one Geo-Object Type. It sets the dates the lists cover, the columns they include and their metadata. In the app, you create a set with Create New List and Spatial Data, and view its settings with Configuration. A set is one of three types:
Single date: one list, of the data as it was on a Valid For date.
Frequency-based: a list for each period at a regular frequency (annual, biannual, quarterly or monthly) from a start date.
Period-based: a list for each period you define.
Working version: the live copy of the list for each date or period. It reflects the current data, and it's where you add, edit and curate Geo-Objects.
Published version: a snapshot of the working version that doesn't change. Publish one when you want a fixed version to share or export.
List and Spatial Data: each version has a List, shown as a table, and Spatial Data, shown as a layer in the Explorer. Each has its own metadata, visibility (Public or Private) and authoritativeness (Master or Non-master).
Finding a set
Navigate to the Lists and Spatial Data page from the sidebar.
On the left, Geo-Object Types are listed under the organization that manages them, with your own organization first. Click a Geo-Object Type.
Its sets are listed on the right, grouped by type. Click a set's title to open it.
Anyone can open the page. What you can see depends on each version's visibility: a Private list or spatial data can only be opened by members of the organization.
