Data indicators and configurations of categories (XML)
CartoVista uses XML files to store data indicators. Regrouped data can be saved in the same XML file, using a simple tabular format of rows and columns. Each XML file can contain up to 20 different indicators (fields). Each indicator field is clearly identified by data type, unit, accuracy and description. CartoVista can handle an unlimited numbers of XML files, presented as groups of indicators within categories.
The API includes details on how to build and configure XML files used to setup the indicator categories shown on maps and store the indicator data.
