Layer discoverability

RSDB data layers can be retrieved by id, by name and by tags.

ID

The layer id is the primary identification of a RSDB data layer. The allowed characters are restricted to: 0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_

Name (or 'title')

The name does not have restrictions on the allowed characters. It is a complement of the layer ID for better human readability.

Tags

The layers in RSDB can be organised by tags that are associated to layers. Tags can be hierarchical with / as hierarchy separator:

forest
simple_tag
europe/germany
main_categrory_A/sub_category_Z/tag_C
