Basic Requirements for Working with Map

The following requirements should be met to provide correct work with a map:

  1. A topobase should be loaded to repository.

  2. The repository should have a default map. The requirement is relevant only for the web application. If a default map is not set in the desktop application, it will be suggested to choose a map from the current repository.

  3. The territory dictionary, which is used as a territory dimension of the data source, should contain a string attribute with the TERRID identifier. This attribute should contain territory codes according to the ISO 3166-1 standard.
    Requirements for the Time Series Analysis tool: the time series database should contain the mandatory attribute of series, referring to this territory dictionary.

    NOTE. When a territory dimension is combined the TERRID attribute will be unavailable. The map will be available if a territory dimension is not included into the combined one.

  4. The map in use should contain the ISO string attribute with values of territory codes according to the ISO 3166-1 standard.
    If the map does not contain the ISO attribute, it should contain the ID real attribute with values of territory identifiers. The territory dictionary should contain the TERRID real attribute with values corresponding to the ID attribute values for the map.
    The information about the ISO attribute can be requested from map developers.

The following requirements can be imposed depending on how a map is worked with:
