This page explains how to use advanced input definitions when developing an algorithm. These indications are valid for algorithms developed using both the Statistical Algorithms Importer (SAI) and Dataminer.

Spatial Data

Defining Spatial Data

Spatial Data input are passed to an algorithm using Well-Known Text format (WKT), i.e. a text markup language for representing vector geometry objects on a map, spatial reference systems of spatial objects and transformations between spatial reference systems.[1]
When an algorithm input is defined, a WKT input can be indicated by using proper annotations in the input descriptions. In particular, the annotations highlighted in red in the following table correspond to different geometries. For example a description for an input point could be "Location of an occurrence record [WKT_POINT]".

Spatial Data on the DataMiner Interface

By using a specific widget, DataMiner is able to build a selection interface suited for the WKT input. This process is done by reading the annotation in the input description. The widget allows to easily select the area of interest and reports the WKT selected in a text area. In the end, the WKT string is passed to the algorithm:
Spatial Data, DataMiner
WKT Point, DataMiner
WKT LineString, DataMiner
WKT Polygon, DataMiner
WKT Triangle, DataMiner
WKT Square, DataMiner
WKT Pentagon, DataMiner
WKT Hexagon, DataMiner
WKT Box, DataMiner
WKT Circle, DataMiner

Temporal Data

Temporal Data

Temporal Data are automatically interpreted using specific tags in the description of the inputs. The tags highlighted in red in the following table should be used to indicate the kind of temporal information to associate to the input. Currently, dates and time stamps are supported. For example a description for an input date could be "Date of the occurrence record [DATE]".
Name Description Type Default I/O
dateParameter dateParameter [DATE] String 2016-04-01 Input
timeParameter timeParameter [TIME] String 15:22:01 Input

Temporal Data on DataMiner

A widget on DataMiner is able to transform the annotations into a selection panel. In the following, two examples are reported:
