Stanford content

Raster data

Often satellite data, bathymetry, or a georeferenced map. Source is usually a GeoTIFF but could be ArcGRID or similar raster file.

Vector data

Geometry based geospatial data with usual subsets of polygon, line, or point data. Could be census data, clown data, or really anything.

Restricted content

There are both "restricted" vector and raster data. "Restricted" means, that only Stanford logged in users can access and download.

Index maps

Index maps are a subset of vector data. Essentially it is a "finding aid" for non-georeferenced maps or other content. It is content type=geo and has a special file alongside it index_map.json that turns on a special viewer for it.

Non-stanford content

The above types plus these types of things:

Source / Derived relationship

A feature in GeoBlacklight that enables relationships between datasets

Suppressed from search results

A feature in GeoBlacklight that enables a record to be suppressed from search results
