In October the Living Atlas Browser application experienced several enhancements to make it easier to browse, filter and contribute data sets. Support for scene layers has also been added.
Home Page:
- The Filter menu is now below the green theme buttons.
The new filter menu in the Living Atlas Browser.
- The Filter menu also allows you to filter by Date modified so you can get the latest results.
- When you search, results are displayed with Top results listed first.
- You can browse the Living Atlas one theme at a time, but if you choose a theme then the results are presented in their respective sub-themes
Contributions Tab:
- One of the top enhancements is that Scene layers are now supported. This means you can now contribute your 3D Scene Layers to the Living Atlas.
- The Scoring system is now based on points and can be seen in the “Suggested Improvements” section.
