Accessing Resources

• In Orbit GIS, all spatial data is referred as a “Dataset”
• The physically file is referred as a “Resource”.

• Resources can hold vector data, image (raster) data or both.
• See Orbit GIS supported storage formats.
• See Wikipedia : Data representation Vector and Raster.

• Resources can be located locally, on the network or on the web.
• Select resources using the resource browser.
• Orbit GIS can overlay resources from different locations in a single view (geofusion).

See the resource browser.
Use the resource browser to find and select resources to add to your view (workspace).

See the resource browser : local file system.
You can add a file of various storage formats to view in Orbit GIS. Browse you computer local and network folders dynamically. You can enter a URL or UNC to access remote filesystems.

See the resource browser : eos corporate resource.
In networked and corporate environments, the EOS Registry provides a central address to access resources located anywhere on the corporate network. You can access files on drives you technically have no access to, or to remotely stored data in relational databases without having a connection to that database.

To add an EOS registry resource, you require the presence of the EOS system.

• See EOS Documentation

See the resource browser : web resource.
Orbit can dynamically and directly access EOS Web resources. To add a web resource to your view, you can connect to any remote EOS system.
