# Inbuilt Datasets


### Data as an important basis for analyses
## Data as an important basis for analyses

At Plan4Better, we recognize that data is the fuel that powers our analyses, making it our most valuable asset. To deliver accurate insights based on high-quality information, our WebGIS platform [GOAT](https://goat.plan4better.de/login) integrates a variety of diverse geospatial and non-geospatial datasets from various sources. However, processing inconsistent data from different sources with varying degrees of accuracy can pose a significant challenge. To address this issue, we leverage a range of techniques including efficient data integration, disaggregation, and fusion workflows.


### Data collection and preparation
## Data collection and preparation

The data collection process involves identifying relevant data sources and collecting data - ideally from open data portals or publicly available initiatives. Depending on the data source, various formats such as shapefiles and GeoJSON may be used. It is therefore essential to prepare and convert the data into a common schema and format to ensure consistency and comparability.

### Datasets in the Catalog
## Datasets in the Catalog

The following datasets are available via the Catalog. These are managed as *feature layers* containing geospatial features (points, lines, or polygons) or non-geospatial data (in a tabular format), and can be added to your projects for analysis and visualization. While not an exhaustive list of available layers, the following information provides an overview of the primary dataset types.

#### 1.1 Spatial Features
Feature datasets serve as a dynamic repository of **spatial features**, such as points, lines, or polygons - they contaian spatially referenced geogrpahic features. Users can upload and utilize data from **Shapefiles**, **Geopackages**, **GeoJSON**, and **KML** files or add **WFS** link from an external URL. Feature datasets can be visualized on the map, [styled](../category/layer-styling), and used for analyses with any tools from the [toolbox](../category/toolbox). Furthermore, feature datasets can serve as a data basis for the [scenario creation](../category/scenarios).

Within the GOAT framework, there are two different types of feature datasets, to address different aspects of geospatial functionality:

- **Feature Dataset Standard:** This is the primary feature type that is automatically selected when a user uploads a file. It supports a range of formats including GeoJSON, GPKG, KML, and ZIP files. This dataset serves as the foundation for basic geospatial operations within GOAT.

- **Feature Dataset Tool:** This dataset includes all datasets that have been produced using the tools available in GOAT.

#### 1.2. Non-spatial datasets
**Tables** are **non-spatial datasets**, which differ from the geospatial datasets due to their lack of geographic reference points, therefore they cannot be visualized on the map. These datasets can be used for selected analysis and data management processes. Users can import table datasets in widely used formats such as **CSV** (Comma-Separated Values) and **XLSX** (Microsoft Excel Open XML Spreadsheet).

Imagery datasets are datasets that are provided by external sources such as **WMS** (Web Map Service) or **WMTS** (Web Map Tile Service). Therewith, a wide range of georeferenced map images, such as topographic maps, can be obtained from external servers and integrated into GOAT. While these images can be incorporated as static maps, it is important to note that they do not support analytical functions.

**WMS (Web Map Service)**
This type of layer supports zooming and panning and it is ideal for basemaps, but the output is always a static image and gets loaded slower.

**WMTS (Web Map Tile Service)**
WMTS layers have pre-rendered, fixed sized tiles therefore it loads quickly, and you can zoom in and pan them quickly and smoothly. It is ideal for basemaps on big areas and best to use when you want to have consistent map-style.

#### 2.2. Vector Tiles
**Vector Tile Datasets** allow the integration of **MVT** (Mapbox Vector Tile) (e.g. mapbox://mapbox.mapbox-terrain-v2) into GOAT, allowing these efficient vector tiles to be used as static maps.

**XYZ Tiles**
This type of layer offers fast and efficient map zooming and panning because the tile is defined by their longitude (X), latitude (Y) and zoom level (Z) coordinates. It’s most often used when you need a fast-loading map that has the same performance on different zoom levels.

GOAT verarbeitet eine Vielzahl von Geometrietypen für räumliche Daten. Dies wird durch die Verwendung einer [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/) Datenbank mit der [PostGIS](https://postgis.net/documentation/) Erweiterung erreicht. GOAT speichert alle Geometrien im **PostGIS-Geometrietyp** (Der PostGIS-Geometrietyp ist eine Möglichkeit, verschiedene Formen und Standorte auf einer Karte innerhalb einer PostgreSQL-Datenbank zu speichern und zu bearbeiten. Er ermöglicht es, Details über Punkte (wie Wahrzeichen), Linien (wie Straßen) und Flächen (wie Bezirke) direkt in der Datenbank zu speichern. Alle Daten werden in der Datenbank Koordinatenreferenzsystem **EPSG:4326** gespeichert. Für Operationen, die Längen- oder Flächenmessungen beinhalten, wird jedoch der PostGIS-Geographietyp verwendet. Dieser Typ ermöglicht Berechnungen in Metern und bietet eine höhere Genauigkeit.
