An Orbit Vector File (*.ovf) is Orbit's native vector file storage format.
An OVF stores spatial objects (geometry) and attribute information.
An Orbit Vector File is a vector storage format with extended data structure capabilities compared to an Esri Shape file : Vector dataset structure concepts.
This file format is platform independent. A single file groups spatial component, attribute component and indexes. An OVF is optimized for fast editing of vector data in Orbit.
Optionally an OVF can be accompanied by an Orbit Legend, Orbit Resource Descriptor and Projection Definition File. in Orbit.
