Which scenario best describes uploading data to a site for processing?

• A. The user submits a dataset to a web site that scans the data for errors and returns a corrected copy.
• B. The user draws an area on the map and receives the data within that area.
• C. The workspace writes data to an online PostGIS database
• D. A GIS app pastes in a URL from FME Flow

Answer: (A)

Uploading data to a site for processing means sending your file to a remote server where an operation is performed and a processed result is returned. The best fit is submitting a dataset to a web site that scans the data for errors and returns a corrected copy, because you’re actually moving data to a service, letting it be processed, and then receiving the processed output back. The other scenarios describe either extracting data from a service after selecting an area, publishing or writing data to an online database, or providing a URL for access rather than sending data to be processed.
