This section is for people who run, develop or integrate with Macrostrat's software. It starts with two overviews written for this site and continues with developer documentation maintained alongside the code in the macrostrat repository, which is updated whenever that code changes.
Overviews
- System architecture: the database, services, storage and infrastructure, and how they fit together
- Codebase: the repositories that make up Macrostrat and what each holds
Data formats and services
- Map Ingestion - Files Schema: the structure of staged map files
- Full specification: the column ingestion format
- Column ingestion quickstart: building a column spreadsheet, step by step
- Using raster layers in QGIS: Macrostrat's raster tile services
