Manual plugs¶

In addition to the data formats for which the automatic scan handles part of the documentation and update tracking, you can also create a manual record at any time. This is also known as an "orphan" record, as it is not linked to the source data.

You can choose from a variety of models:

• Data (vector) ;
• Data (raster) ;
• Data (non-geographic tabular) ;
• Data set ;
• Resource ;
• Service.

To do this, simply click on the + Create button at the top left of the inventory (unless the administrator has disabled it in workgroup settings).

There are then 2 ways to proceed:

• create a blank card, indicating only its title ;
• create a card by importing an ISO 19139 standardized XML file.

This feature is useful in a number of situations:

• if your workgroup does not have the scan ;
• if you wish to create metadata sheets in formats not supported by Scan (PDF map, Excel statistical file, etc.), for example to create a map library;
• to document a standardized web service.

Documenting a service¶

Documentation of geographic services is automated and dynamic: see dedicated section.

Documenting a resource¶

Why¶

In Isogeo, the aim is to document only once, in order to be able to add value X times. A resource can be a map, a map library, a map server, an external visualization service, a download server, etc.

The aim of these resource sheets is to centralize the associated resources and to be able to associate them with different data sheets. For example, a map exported in PDF format will concern several data sheets. It is then documented only once, and linked to the data sheets concerned.

How to ¶

1. Click on the Create button in the top left-hand corner;
2. Select a resource card;
3. In the Titlefield , enterthe type of resource and the territory concerned. For example: Serveur de visualisation des données du Département de Belfort;
4. In the Resources tab, indicate the various links that can be associated.
