Layer (Spreadsheet) Downloads for S-map
These layers export data required by the S-map system - for modifications or additions contact Linda Lilburne. Each layer contains data from the selected dataset and all of its child datasets. The ‘thing’ being returned is specified after the dash in the layer’s title. For example Dataset - Sites contains a row for each site in the dataset(s).
Different types of view of the same thing may be provided, for example Dataset - Samples with Spectra Predictions includes spectra derived predictions of soil properties. In most cases other context information (e.g. site/sample IDs, locations and selected soil or horizon properties) are included.
Three types of download are available:
- CSV - a spreadsheet view
- JSON - exactly the same as 1. but … JSON
- GeoJSON - the GIS equivalent of 1 and 2. Can be loaded directly into QGIS and imported using the JSON toolbox in ArcGIS.
