Dataset Map

Filter public Dataverse datasets by collection, file presence, time period, selection area, and map extent.

Selected dataset details

Select one dataset marker to show the same details as the popup and any related PNG graphs here.

No dataset selected. The selected dataset details will appear here.

No dataset selected. PNG previews are fetched only after one dataset is selected.

Collection aliases Ctrl/Cmd-click Use Ctrl/Cmd-click to select more than one collection.

Only datasets containing files

Hide metadata-only records and focus on datasets that already include files.

Only datasets with PNG graphs/images

Show only datasets that include at least one PNG file in Dataverse.

Data type values Optional Select one or more data types. Leave only All data types selected to disable this filter.

API token Browser-only Only needed when you want to include datasets requiring an API token.

First search can take a little time while metadata is fetched and cached. After that, collection, data type, PNG, file, time, and text filters update client-side. This is a snapshot, not a live feed. The load button only turns green when the API token changes and the snapshot must be rebuilt.

Enable time-period filter

Datasets without a recorded time period will be counted and hidden while this is enabled.

Start date End date

Match mode

Time filtering hides datasets without a Dataverse Time Period and reports how many were hidden.

Quick searchClient-side

Show dataset extents

Display stored bounding boxes as overlays on the map.

Open popup on selection

Automatically open the dataset popup when zooming or selecting.

Draw a rectangle or polygon on the map to select datasets by point or intersecting extent.

Why is my dataset not showing on the map?

Required for map display

The dataset must be published or accessible with the API token you entered.
The dataset must contain Geospatial metadata with a geographic bounding box.
The selected Dataverse collection filter must include the collection where the dataset is stored.

Required for data-type filtering

Add a Citation metadata Keyword → Term.
Use one of the controlled values: ADCP, Wind/current, Wave, CTD, or Other.
All data types is only a map option. Do not store it as a dataset keyword.

Filter-specific reasons

If “Only datasets containing files” is enabled, metadata-only datasets are hidden.
If “Only datasets with PNG graphs/images” is enabled, the dataset must contain at least one .png or image/png file.
If time filtering is enabled, the dataset must have a Dataverse Time Period that matches the selected range.

The first search may take a little time because the backend fetches dataset metadata and builds one cached map snapshot. After that, collection, data type, PNG, file, time, and text filters happen instantly in the browser using that snapshot. The snapshot does not react to live Dataverse changes automatically. Press Live refresh to bypass the cache and fetch the newest published metadata/files from Dataverse. Only changing the API token requires rebuilding the snapshot.
