Thematic Applications

Overview

A Thematic App is a specific version of the geobrowser, in which specific parameters are pre-defined, in order to serve a specific thematic. It is defined by a list of services offerings, such as:

  • web widget,
  • map layer,
  • map background,
  • data series,
  • wps services

Discovery

A discovery page, dedicated to the search of existing/accessible Thematic apps can be accessed from the home page.

Thematic apps can be searched using filters defined by the user, such as:

  • Free text: search within title and description of the thematic app

The search is performed amongst thematic apps which are accessible to the current user.

The pre-defined thematics are:

  • GLobal Urban Footprint 2012
  • Timescan Landsat 2015
  • Data Subsetting
  • Worldpop

All users also have an application dedicated to the management of all items he owns (see app_workspace). It is call My worskpace and will give to the user the ability to manage (edit / share / delete) all items he owns amongst WPS services, data collections, data packages, WPS jobs.

From this “workspace”, users can also manage (create / edit / delete) their own Thematic App (see app_workspace).
