Observation Types Module

The Observation Types module is where you can create and manage observation type definitions for use with WaterML and WDTF Datasets.

What is an Observation Type?

An observation type describes an observation in a WaterML or WDTF Dataset. Any observations that you add to a dataset must have a defined observation type.

Example

The observation type includes details of what the data measures, how the data was derived and the units of measurement for the data.
