Exploring a catalog of datasets

There are several ways to explore a dataset catalog. Whether you are just exploring, or if looking for
a specific dataset, here's how to find the data you need.

Sorting the catalog

By default, a catalog is sorted by the date the datasets were modified, with the most recently
modified datasets displayed first.

It's possible to change in which order the catalog cards are displayed with the catalog sorting
option, found at the top of the sidebar, directly below the number of datasets.

1-
How sorting of the catalog is done and how the order of displayed catalog cards can be changed?

Catalog sorting involves the modification of the datasets on the basis of the specific dates that, in
turn, displays the latest modified datasets on the top and others subsequently. An option appearing
at the top in the sidebar assists in altering the order of catalog cards that are displaying below the
number of datasets.

Users are provided with the option to choose from the popular sorting methods. Three of them can
be selected by just clicking on them. In addition to that, two other options are also available. All
these five methods are arranged in acending or the descending order that depends upon the
preferences. The sorting options include modification date, popularity, alphabetical order, number of records,
and number of downloads.

What are the sorting methods for the catalog, and in what way the users can customize their order.

Users are provided with the option to choose from the popular sorting methods. Three of them can
be selected by just clicking on them. In addition to that, two other options are also available. All
these five methods are arranged in acending or the descending order that depends upon the
preferences. The sorting options include modification date, popularity, alphabetical order, number of records,
and number of downloads.

3_
What filtering options are available that assist in finding particular datasets, especially when it includes
navigating through a large amount of datasets?
Browsing the catalog is easier when there are minimum number of datasets, as just it involves the
scrolling down. However, when there is a vast amount of datasets, navigating through the catalogs
becomes arduous and challenging. There exist different filtering options that are beneficial in pinpointing
data of specific nature and surfing a particular topic, time-frame or any geographic location.

4- Where exactly in the catalog interface the filters are can be accessed, and what are some filtering
options available for the visitors?

The filters are located just below the sorting option and other option of the
datasets with numbers, which is the left side of the interface. The datasets can be
filtered with the help of provided search bar that accepts the text. Apart from that,
it can also be filtered through a geographic filter that involves the territory.The
last option for filtering is done by metadata which includes view and publisher
option.

5-
How does the search bar functions in the catalog , and how does the data is utilized to get the related information
available in the datasets?

The text search bar provided in the catalog assists in matching the terms that are searched with the available datasets
such as titles, descriptions, and keywords. When there is not matched information available it shows “Your search didn't
match any datasets.” Admins analyze the search bar functionality and work on new datasets to mimimize “no match”
results. Advanced searches are also possible through querry languages.

The text search bar in the catalog matches your search terms with dataset metadata like titles, descriptions, and keywords.
If there's no match, it displays "Your search didn't match any datasets." Admins can see searches with no matches, helping
them understand user needs and possibly publish new datasets. Advanced searches using query language are also
possible, detailed in the "Searching the data" documentation.

6-
How does the geographic filter works, and what multiple features are included to help users in finding various territories?

The geographic filter is available down to the search bar helps in matching the territories with available datasets
locations. If there is no match, nothing is displayed in the search. Various options like “Back to” and “Go to” are helpful to
move within that interface. Territories more than five will have a search bar that makes it easier for users to get known
about the specific places within the current area.

7-
How selectable metadata filters are helpful to improve data searches in catalog. What
different options narrowing down search results?

Selectable metadata filters assists in classifying the datasets by view, date, publisher, keyword, theme,
and language. When users click that the filters update the catalog and show the matched datasets.
Clicking on a filter value updates the catalog to display datasets matching that criterion, with non-selected
values disappearing. Besides that, the categorization benefits the multiple selections
and ensures more refinement.In this way, the filters are beneficial for accurate
datasets searches that are rely on particular criteria, and getting the enhanced user
experience.

8. ..
What is the downloading of the catalog, and what are the different formats of the
catalog downloading that are available for the users?

Downloading of the catalog can be done in multiple formats that can be accessed in different filters. This added feature
assists in getting the index of the datasets that can also have its essential metadata, but not allows the downloading of all
datasets. The available downloading formats include the XLSX, CSV, RDF/XML (DCAT), and RSS feed. In addition to that,
with the utilization of the Opendatasoft Search API, the catalogs can also be accessed in JSON, data.json, and DCAT-AP
formats. These formats are essential when it comes to the regions like Flanders, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, and
Spain.

What are Application Programming Interfaces APIs, and what are their key functions? Mention one of its primary type that
helps in accessing public data.
APIs, short for Application Programming Interfaces, that ensure the smooth and uninterrupted communication between
the software systems by acting like a bridge. Further, they help in using the data stored online in a way that is understable
by the websites or databases. For example, if you want to use data stored online, an API lets you talk to that data in a way
that the website or database understands. Explore API is one of the primary APIs that is beneficial in accessing the public
data through a particular worspace.
Interacting with the API

Suggest suitable methods for the effective utilization of the APIs. What are some specific tools that improve the data
interacting?

API works as the receiving the responses to requests that are made.The calling or
requesting in API is facilitated by getting back some sort of JSON object from the
server like Opendatasoft. API also uses several tools that make the interaction better with more useful data. To get
the friendly interface along with its interaction with API, the platforms like Postman are a great option. When it comes to
developers, they choose tools such as Python's Requests Library. All the tools are essential to prominent data insights.

Exploring the data

"How can I use the Explore API to find exactly what I need from a dataset? Like picking what info I want, sorting it, and
only getting the parts I'm interested in?"

Explain how the data can be obtained from a dataset,

especially public data set, with the help of Explore API, and
what methods are used for it?
Among three kinds of actions that are part of the Explore API, Exploring the data holds prominent
significance. Exploring the data with the help of Explore API means the requesting of public
information from datasets that can be processeed and utilized for multiple purposes. There are
particular methods that are to be followed when dealing with that data. The top five methods
include select, where, order by, limit or offset and group by.
 Exporting the data
API calls are limited to 100 records per call. But if you need to handle all of the data at once, you are
able to export the entirety of the data.

The same methods listed under "Exploring the data" can be used to tailor your requests.

Analyzing the data

After exploring or exporting the data, you may wish to perform some basic analysis on it. This is
called aggregating, and you can use different functions to combine, or aggregate, the data in
productive ways:

 avg (average)

What is meant by the exporting and analyzing the data? What are better practices to understand the data in a simple
manner?

Exporting the data is a great option when someone struggles to get all the data, which involves the API, at once
compared to getting 100 record in one time. However, when there is a need to perform certain basic analysis on the data
after exploring and exporting steps are done, the analyzing of data comes into action. Iin simpler terms, it is summarizing
of data for the better utilization. This major things can include finding, mean, percentile, sum, counting, shape, average
and the highest and lowest values in data.

What is the role of an API in software communication, and how does Opendatasoft's Automation API assist in automating
data management processes?

What particular role does the API have in the communication of softwares, and how
automation of data is maintained with the utilization of Opendatasoft's Automation API

When the communication between the softwares is concerned the Application Programming
Interface, an API, holds the paramount significance as it plays the role of a mediator. A very useful API, Automation API is
among the top offerings by the Opendatasoft beside several others. It assists extroordinarliy in the execution of certain
tasks that are related to the handling of data. Furthermore, it also helpful to keep the information of the portals up to
date.
How about this: "What are some key functionalities enabled by Opendatasoft's Automation API, and how do they
streamline data management processes within a workspace?"

What are some top functionalities that are facilitated by the Opendatasoft's Automation API? What its actions are helpful
in managing the data?

When it comes to performing the several tasks on the back hand of workspace, t he
Automation API from Opendatasoft play a key role. The major actions performed by this type of API involves the
adding of the data, which includes connecting to different services and getting the data from portals. Besides that,
enhancing of data is concerned with inculcating descriptions. The publishing of data, managing of pages and
administrating the domain are also equally important in this regard.

Suggest the methods of Automation API in Opendatasoft to get authenticated, and explain how the usage of API
key differentiates in query string and header?

To get authenticated with the Automation API, it is essential that user is logged in
through Opendatasoft. Primarily, two methods are available for ensuring the authentication. This first method,
Authorization Header (Recommended), involves the API call or request of the users. For getting authorized the user needs
to provide specific API key in the “Authorization” headers such as apikey<yourapikey>. It is considered to a better option
for additional security. Another option is Query String which is less secure than previous option. This user can pass the
API key simply in querry string: <your query>?apikey=<yourapikey>

What are the basic steps that are integral part when interacting with an API? Are
there any tools or platforms that assist in such interaction?

API is basically getting back responses for the requests made to the Opendatasoft server.
The responses received are in the JSON format and all this process is often referred to as API call, which is important
when it comes to interacting with the API. Various platforms such as Postman are used for better interaction and the tools
such as Curl or Python's Requests library are used by the developers for making API calls

functionalities of the edit and preview modes within Maps?

The Maps can be used by just navigating to the ODS portal and clicking on the Maps tab, which is present
at the top of the page. Apart from that, adding “/map” to the URL of portal can also serve the purpose.
There are two modes in Maps, namingly edit and preview mode. With the help of edit mode, the maps are
created, settings are adjusted and the appearance is maintained. It is divided into further parts to edit the
layers, manage the maps, and make maps interactive. On the other hand, the preview mode shows how
the map is going to look like.

2-
In what way the layers can be edited in the layer-editing area, and what options do the users have to add
datasets to the map?
The section responsible for editing of the layers is present on right side of the page, which is adjacent to
the map. When there is no map created, the users will have the button with tag “Add a dataset to this
map”, which will include the first one dataset. Once that task is done, it shows the added datasets and the
edit option to manage settings of each dataset. Besides, a button with headline “Add a dataset to this map”
also shown if someone wants to include any other dataset to the map.

3. What prominent features and the essential functionalities are the part of Maps menu, and how the users
are facilitated to edit, manage and share maps?
The Maps menu can be found on the very top of the map interface that assists in performing various
functions like renaming, saving, managing, and sharing maps. Furthermore, this menu is helpful in draft
handling, switching the modes of edit and preview, managing layer and grouping.The additional options
in map menu include the configuring the different features for preview or view, saving and sharing maps

What is the method by which the users can control that which map layers get displayed, and what specific
function does the monoplayer mode have?
All map layers are always displayed as per the default settings, having a list that appears on the right side corner on the
top. If users want to hide certain layers they can do it by just clicking on them which will be removed from that map.
Single or particular layers can be focused by the users that will hide all others. As far as mono player mode is concerned,
only one layer is to be displayed and all others vanish automatically.

Display or hide layers

By default, all map layers are displayed. The list of all the layers that compose your map is displayed in
the top right-hand corner of the map.

In case you only want to focus on several specific layers or even on just one, you can choose to hide
layers. To hide a layer, simply click on it. You will see that the layer is grayed-out and disappears from
the map.

If the map is configured on a monolayer mode, you will only be able to display one layer at a time. It
means that if you display one specific layer, all the other layers will automatically be hidden.

Navigating maps made with the Maps interface

Every map made with Opendatasoft allows you to interact with it in several ways, but maps made with
the Maps interface contain other features, explained below.

These features are common to all maps made with Opendatasoft:

There are circle, square, and polygon buttons to draw any shape on the map in order to filter for the data
within those areas. There are also edit shape and delete shape buttons.
There is a button to see the map in full screen mode.
There are buttons to zoom in and zoom out.
There is a button to center the map on your current location.
And these are the features of a map made with the Maps tool, some of which can be turned on or off in
the map's configuration:
A search bar, to allow users to search for specific locations on the map.
A list of all the layers contained in the map, which you can choose to display or to hide.
A box showing the name of each layer, found in the bottom right-hand corner of the map

by clicking the arrow up button.

What functional purpose does the search bar have to perform in the map interface, how it is useful for
users to get known about certain location?

Using the search bar

Search bar assists the users to get known about specific locations or accessing data within a map. This can
be done by just inputting some sort of keywords in the search bar, which is located on the left side of the
map. The search bar provide the users with multiple results about the locations and by touching those
location results, they will get directed to the specific location automatically.

Using the search bar

You can use the search bar to find locations or data in your map. To do so, simply enter a keyword in
the search bar at the top left-hand corner of the map. By default, the search bar will return location
results, and if you click on a location result the map will automatically move to that location.

Reorder and group layers in a map

When building a map in the Maps interface, you can reorder and group your layers.

Reordering layers can be handy, for example, if some of your layers are more important or requested
more often than other layers. You can move the most important or requested layers to the very beginning
of the list so that they can be found more easily.
Grouping layers can also come in handy. For example, you might want to display different layers on your
map, but they need to be displayed together to be relevant. If you group these layers, either they’re all
displayed at the same time, or else they’re all hidden.

In the Maps interface, users can rearrange and group layers to enhance map organization.
Reordering allows prioritizing essential layers for easier access, especially those frequently used
or requested. Grouping facilitates displaying related layers together, ensuring their relevance on
the map. This feature streamlines map navigation and enhances user experience by allowing
customization based on importance and relevance.

In what manner does the reordering and grouping in the Maps interface provide the basis for enhancing
user experience and the organizing of map?

For improving the organization of maps in the Maps interface, the rearranging and group layers
can be done by the users. Reordering is concerned with the layers that are frequently put into
use for ensuring the easy access. On the other hand, the grouping is all about maintain the
relevancy by showing multiple layers combined. The customization option offered with the help
of this feature improves the user experience along with easing the map navigation.

dataset

The basics of dataset visualizations

When your users visit one of your datasets, at the top of the dataset they will see any number of tabs that
allow them to visualize that data: Table, Map, Analyze, Images, Calendar, and Custom view.

Note that in some cases, if the dataset does not support a visualization that tab will not be present. For
example if the dataset does not have geographical data, the Map tab will not be visible.

To configure a dataset's visualizations, go to your back office under the Visualizations tab to find a sub-
tab for each kind of visualization. If a visualization is not available for a given dataset, that tab will be
grayed out.

In what manner different visualization options along with th sub-tabs included in datasets can be used to
get better understanding of the data?

Specific tabs are located at the very top in datasets that assists the users to visualize the data of diverse
nature, including Table, Map, Analyze, Images, Calendar, and Custom view. It is also possible that some
tabs will not appear if they are not supported by the dataset, like the lacking data for geographical tab will
not display its map tab. There also exists some sub-tabs for the configuration of visualization tabs. All this
setup is essential to get known about the data through various visualizations.

The default chart, chosen by the site administrators, is shown there in the Analyze
tab. However, adjusting alternate charts to perform analyses other than the default
one is both suggested and feasible.

There are various buttons and configuration choices that are visible above the chart.

Above the chart are displayed a variety of buttons and options to configure the chart:

The first line is to configure the base of the chart.

X axis: to choose which field to use as X axis (horizontal line)
Max. number of points: to choose how many points should be represented on the chart
Default ordering: for points to be displayed in a decreasing order in the chart

The second line is to define how the different series are represented.
Break down series: to separate the series into several groups
Stack: for series to be stacked one on top of the other
Add a serie: to display other series on the chart

The third and last line is to configure series separately.

a scroll-down menu: to choose a chart type for the series
a color or color palette: to choose the color of the series
Y axis: to choose which field to use as Y axis (vertical line)
Use for ordering: for points to be displayed in a decreasing order in the chart, based on the chosen series

Numerous buttons and configuration options are visible above the chart:

Setting up the chart's base is said to be the first line.

Selecting a field to serve as the X axis (horizontal line)
Maximum number of points: to determine the maximum number of points that the chart
should display
By default, the points on the chart will be shown in descending order.

The representation of the various series is explained in the second line.

Dissect the series: Dividing the series up into various groups
Stack: the act of piling a series on top of another
To see other series on the chart, add a serie.

What are the some key steps required to set up and customize a chart?

Visualizing data through a chart assists to represent the complex and vast amount of data into
comprehending visuals.

The key steps involved in setting up and customizing a chart are as follows:
1. Begin by drawing the foundation of the chart, beginning with the first line.
2. Deciding which category will be acting as the horizontal X axis.
3. Picking up the highest quantity of data points that the chart may show.
4. The points on the chart are to be arranged in descending order by default.

Regarding the representation of various data series:

1. Examining and dividing the series into distinct categories.
2. To figure out the relation between series, stack them on top of one another.
3. Including more series to the chart in order to make it more comprehensive.

"What are the steps to set up the base and X-axis of a chart, determine the maximum number of points, and manage
series representation?"

The final and third line sets up the series individually.

a menu that slides down: selecting a color or color scheme and a chart type for the
series: to determine the series' color
Y axis: to select the field (vertical line) that will serve as the Y axis
Use for ordering: to arrange the points in the chart in descending order according to
the selected series
Understanding automatic clustering in maps

When you display geographical data on a map, you want the data to be shown
efficiently, no matter where you are on the map or at what scale.

To keep things readable and make sure the map is loaded in seconds, even when there's
a lot of data, your data can be set to "cluster," or to display in groups according
to the scale.

Regardless of the scale or location on the map, you want the geographic data to be
displayed effectively when it comes to geographic data displays.

You may configure your data to "cluster," or display in groups based on the scale, to
keep things understandable and ensure that the map loads quickly even with a large
amount of data.

In what manner geographic data on maps can be grouped and organized to make understandable and
faster in loading?

Understanding automatic clustering on maps

When it comes to geographic data displays, you want the data to be shown as
effectively as possible, not concerning of the size or position on the map.

To keep things comprehensible and warrant the map loads quickly even with a vast
quantity of data, you may configure your data to "cluster," or display in groups
based on the scale.
The map adjusts according to the following criteria:

If there are fewer than 200 elements visible on the map, they are all displayed as is, regardless of their
being points or shapes.

If there are 200 or more elements to be displayed on the map:

If more than half the elements are points, all elements are clustered: Elements that are close
together are grouped into a single cluster, with a number indicating how many elements the cluster
regroups. For elements that are shapes (polygons, lines, etc.), their centroid is considered when situating
the clusters. Clicking on a cluster zooms in, at which point the same rules are re-applied and may modify
the display.

Question

The following criteria determine how the map is adjusted:

All elements are shown on the map exactly as they are, whether they are points or shapes, if there are
fewer than 200 elements visible. In the event that the map is to show 200 or more elements:
All elements are clustered if there are more than half of them that are points: A cluster is made up of all
the elements that are near to each other, and the number in the cluster points out how many pieces it may
regroup. Cluster placement takes into account the centroid of any shape elements (polygons, lines, etc.).
When you click on a cluster, it zooms in and the presentation may change, but the same rules still apply.

How elements are organized on an a map if there is a vast number to be shown separately?

Answer:

If more than half of the components on a map are points, they are grouped into
clusters when a significant number of them need to be shown separately. Elements that
are close to one another are grouped together to form clusters. The number of items
in each cluster is shown. Cluster placement takes into account the centroid of any
shape element, including lines or polygons. The clustering criteria remain in effect
even after the map zooms in and the display changes when you click on a cluster.
Otherwise, if half or more of the elements are shapes (polygons, lines, etc.), a maximum of 1,000 shapes
are simplified so that they can still be displayed efficiently by all browsers and devices in a few seconds
maximum. These rules are reapplied after each move or zoom within the map. In particular, zooming on a
zone with fewer elements to display will improve the precision and reduce the need for clusters.

Question

Alternatively, if half or more of the elements are forms (polygons, lines, etc.), a
maximum of 1,000 shapes are reduced in complexity. This is for reason,that they can
still be effectively presented in a matter of seconds across all browsers and
devices.
These guidelines are updated following whenever motion and zoom of map is concerned.
Specifically, expanding a zone that has fewer components to display will improve
accuracy and decrease the requirement for clusters.

What are the specific guidelines that are taken into consideration when a certain
displays a vast amount of shapes (polygons, lines, etc.)?

"What guidelines are followed when a map displays a significant number of shapes (polygons, lines, etc.)?"

Answer

Several rules are to be followed when a map shows a large number of shapes, such as
polygons or lines:

Complexity Reduction: A maximum of 1,000 shapes can be made simpler in complexity if

half or more of the parts are shapes. This reduction in complexity warrants that the
map may still be shown effectively in a few seconds.
Real-Time Updates: Whenever there is movement or zooming on the map, these rules are
updated. This guarantees that the display will always be precise and responsive to
user input.
Zone Expansion: Accuracy is improved and less clustering is demanded when a zone with
lesser components to display is expanded. This shows that enlarging the view in
regions with fewer shapes improves the appearance of maps.
Configuring the custom view

In the edition interface of a dataset, the Visualizations > Custom view tab allows to configure a custom
view displayed in the front office once the dataset is published on the portal.
In contrary to all other visualizations, the "Custom view" is not a predefined visualization that adapts to a
dataset. It is a blank space that can be used for any purpose, as long as it is related to the dataset, and can
be filled in with HTML and CSS.
The custom view is available for every dataset but is optional. It can be enabled or disabled using the tick
box displayed right under the visualizations tabs.

The Visualizations > Custom view tab in the edition interface of a dataset allows you
build up a customized view that will show up in the front office after the dataset
gets published on the portal.
The "Custom view" is not a visualization of predetermined nature that changes to fit
a dataset, in contrast to all other visualizations. It is an empty space that may be
filled up with languages like HTML and CSS and used for any kind of purpose as long
as it is relevant to the dataset.
Every dataset has a custom view, however it is not necessary. You can use the check
box located directly beneath the visualizations tabs to enable or disable it.

"What are some unique features and functionalities of the 'Custom view' tab in the dataset?

Answer:

The dataset edition interface's "Custom view" option gives a unique level of freedom by providing users
an empty canvas where they can customize using HTML and CSS according to their preferences. It is not
like other visualizations that are preset, therefore it can be used for various purposes that are related to the
dataset. In addition to that, there's a checkbox below the visualization tabs that makes enabling or
disabling easy for users. By allowing users to create customized displays, this improves the functionality
of dataset and makes it easier to use on the site.
Configuring the table visualization

For the table visualization to be available, the dataset must contain at least one source.
When editing a dataset, the Visualizations > Table tab allows you to configure the table visualization that
is displayed in your portal once the dataset is published.

The table visualization cannot be disabled.

To configure the table visualization, follow the indications from the table below.

Option name: Default sort

Description:
By default, the table visualization keeps the order of the records as it is after they have been processed. It
is possible to define another default sort by choosing a field and a sort type.

Usage:
Select a value under the Default sort dropdown menu.
Select a value in the menu that appears just beneath the first.

Question:

For the table visualization to be provided, the dataset must contain at least one
source.
When modifying a dataset, the Visualizations > Table tab allows to identify the table
visualization that is available on the portal after the publishing of dataset.

The table visualization can not be turn off

Use the guidance in the table below to set up the table visualization.

Name of option: Default sort

Description: After the records get processed, the table display maintains the
original order by default. If a field and a sort type is selected,setting an
additional default sort becomes possible.

Use: From the drop down-menu labeled "Default sort,"

From the selection that displays just below the first, choose a value.

What are the key steps that need to be taken care of when modyfying the default sort
order for a dataset visualization in a table format?

When a dataset is published, it needs to have a source in place for a table

representation to be produced. Selecting the Visualizations > Table tab is essential
when making certain changes to the dataset. The Default Sort option is one of the
configuration options for the table visualization.

The initial sorting of the records can be chosen in the table display using the
Default Sort option. Records remain in the same order by default. To add a unique
default sorting criterion, selecting of a field and sort type becomes crucial.

Modifying the Default Sort:

Select the Table under Visualizations tab.

Find the drop-down option with the name "Default Sort."
Choose a field from the list of available fields.
Select a sort type using the options that show up below the initial dropdown menu.

Page status
Once created, the page status changes according to the actions you perform:

 Draft: This tag indicates that you, or another editor, has edited the page without publishing
it. The tag appears as soon as you perform one of the following kind of action: edit a block,
edit the page layout, add or edit the page information. The tag disappears after you publish
the page, and until you edit the page again.
 Published: This status means that the page is currently online and anyone with the right
access can visit it.
 Not published: This status means that the page is not online. By default, a page is not
published when you create it; you must explicitly choose to publish it.

Question:

A page's status changes in response to what actions you take:

Draft: This label signals that changes by you or another editor have been done to the
page without publication. It displays when you make changes to the page layout, edit
a block, or update specific information on the page. After the page gets published,
the label disappears and does not show up again until more changes take place.

Published: This means that users who have the necessary permissions can currently
view the page online.

Unpublished: Through this it is known that there is currently no online version of

the page. Newly created pages are not published by default and it is essential that
they are published before they can be accessed.
