Rasdaman Documentation

We believe that good documentation is probably the single most important thing for a successful project. We work hard on high quality documentation - you can help us by letting us know about areas that are unclear, helpful additions, etc.

The rasdaman documentation is available online:

• ​http://doc.rasdaman.org - bleeding-edge documentation = current master
• ​http://doc.rasdaman.org/stable - current stable release
• ​http://doc.rasdaman.org/MAJOR.MINOR - documentation for a particular version, e.g. for v9.7 - ​http://doc.rasdaman.org/9.7

Array Query Programming

If you want to work directly with the rasdaman array query language, rasql, you find ample documentation and examples. Specifically for geo data management, however, your preferred API will be the OGC standards conformant Web service described below.

• ​Query Language Guide for rasql; query examples therein rely on the demo data, delivered with rasdaman, which can be inserted through rasdaman_insertdemo.sh. Hence, all examples can be readily run.
• ​C++ Development Guide
• ​Java Development Guide
• ​rasdaman Web Client Toolkit Developer Guide
