Orbit Vector File
An Orbit Vector File (*.ovf) is Orbit's native vector file storage format.
An OVF stores spatial objects (geometry) and attribute information.
Structure
An Orbit Vector File has extended data structure capabilities compared to an Esri Shape file : Vector dataset structure concepts.
It is a single file grouping both spatial and attribute component.
Reasons to use
The OVF is optimized for fast editing of vector data in Orbit. The format is platform independent and as it a single file it simplifies data management.
