Data management intro

Before you can analyze your data, you need to add it to the platform and create a project for it.

In this article, you will learn about the main concepts in this process and their relationships. It provides a high-level overview of what a project, dataset, background layer and area of interest are.

Different types of data sets

Manage data in a project

Each project contains a number of data sets, background layers and areas of interest.

This article explains how you can add or remove any of those to/from a project.

Data upload overview

Uploading movement data to the platform is a multistep process.

This article provides an overview of the different steps involved, and contains links to articles with more details about each step.

Configure data properties

Before you can upload your movement data or metadata files, you need to define the structure of those files.

This article provides an overview on how to do that.

Spatio-temporal resolution

During processing, the data is divided into a spatial and temporal grid.

This article explains this in more detail, as well how you can configure the size of this grid.

Distance and duration threshold

During processing of trajectory data, successive records can be connected.

This article explains how you can control the connectivity between records.

Different data representations

Data is by default processed into a gridded representation using the configured spatio-temporal grid. Additionally, the processing engine can produce trajectories and/or realtime data representations as well.

This articles describes the properties of each of those representations, together with some example cases where activating these data representations makes sense.

Handling missing property values

Some records might have missing values for certain properties.

This article explains in more detail the different strategies the platform has to deal with those missing values.

Upload (meta)data

Once the structure of your (meta)data is defined and the processing settings configured, you can start uploading your (meta)data.

Data versus metadata

Learn what the difference is between data and metadata.

Data properties file syntax

You can define the structure of your (meta)data files by uploading a file defining the data properties.

This article explains the syntax of this file.

Auto-detection of the data properties

When defining the properties of your data, you can let the platform detect which properties are available.

This article explains how to do that.

Travel time

The xyzt.ai platform calculates the travel time for movement data, and allows to visualize it for example on a histogram. This article explains what that travel time is, and how it is calculated.

Data upload overview

Uploading points data to the platform is a multistep process.

This article provides an overview of the different steps involved, and contains links to articles with more details about each step.

Configure data properties

Before you can upload your points data files, you need to define the structure of those csv or Parquet files.

This article provides an overview on how to do that.

Spatial resolution

During processing, the data is divided into a spatial grid.

This article explains this in more detail, as well how you can configure the size of this grid.

Upload data

Once the structure of your data is defined and the processing settings configured, you can start uploading your data.

Data properties file syntax

You can define the structure of your geometry files and data files by uploading a file defining the data properties.

This article explains the syntax of this file.

Data upload overview

Uploading time series data to the platform is a multistep process.

This article provides an overview of the different steps involved, and contains links to articles with more details about each step.

Configure data properties

Before you can upload your time series files, you need to define the structure of those files.

This article provides an overview on how to do that.

Upload data

Once the structure of your geometry and measurement data files is defined, you can start uploading your GeoJSON and CSV files.

Data properties file syntax

You can define the structure of your geometry files and data files by uploading a file defining the data properties.
