DATASET Statement

The DATASET statement sets an optional attribute that can be used to identify the dataset to which this GBFS file belongs.

The DATASET name is written into the created GBFS file. This name is not used by GeoBase, but is available to your applications as the Name property of any SimpleRepository that references the GBFS file. This can be useful, for example, if you need to differentiate between different GBFS files. If you do not supply a DATASET name, the value of the Name property on any SimpleRepository that references the GBFS file will be an empty string.

The DATASET is one of the Attributes that can optionally be specified at the start of the import file. All of these attributes are optional, but if you include any, they must be specified in the following order (OUTPUT first, REGIONS last):

• OUTPUT	Sets the filename of the output GBFS file
  DATASET	Sets an arbitrary name for this dataset
  COPYRIGHT	Sets a copyright for this dataset
  COUNTRY	Sets the name of the country that this dataset represents
  UNITS	Sets the unit system that this dataset uses - Metric or Imperial
  REGIONS	Sets the region information for this dataset
