Using the Browse Data Page

The Browse Data page allows users to browse through the catalog structure of the data sets or to search data sets by entering a keyword.

To browse the data in the available theme categories, click on the ‘plus’ button shown in front of the folders; this reveals the subsets of data in each category. Click on the ‘data set’ icon to view the data sets available in that particular subset; these data sets are displayed in the Datast column on the right.

To search by keyword, enter a keyword in the Search text box and click the "Search Now" button . The data sets related to the keyword are shown based on themes under the Themes column. Double click on the theme folder or click on the ‘plus’ button in front of the folder to expand it. Expanding the folder shows the subsets of data in each theme category. Click on the ‘data set’ icon to view the list of data sets available in that particular subset. Resulting data sets are displayed in the data set results column at the right hand side of the page.

* The icon displayed in front each data set in the Results window indicates whether it is a vector, raster or static data set.
