## NAME

## KEYWORDS

temporal, metadata, time

## SYNOPSIS

t.support
t.support --help
t.support [-mu] input=name [semantictype=string] [type=name] [title=string] [description=string] [aggr_type=string] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

### Flags:

-m
  Update the metadata information and spatial extent of registered maps from the GRASS spatial database
  Check for removed maps and delete them from the temporal database and all effected space time datasets
-u
  Update metadata information, temporal and spatial extent from registered maps based on database entries.
--help
  Print usage summary
--verbose
  Verbose module output
--quiet
  Quiet module output
--ui
  Force launching GUI dialog

### Parameters:

input=name [required]
  Name of the input space time dataset
semantictype=string
  Semantic type of the space time dataset
  Options: min, max, sum, mean
  Default: mean
type=name
  Type of the input space time dataset
  Options: strds, stvds, str3ds
  Default: strds
title=string
  Title of the space time dataset
description=string
  Description of the space time dataset
aggr_type=string
  Aggregation type of the space time raster or 3D raster dataset

## DESCRIPTION

The t.support module is dedicated to modify and update the metadata of a space time dataset.

The title, description and the semantic type can be modified.

The flag -u allows updating the STDS metadata from registered map layers. This is useful in case the map layers have been modified without using temporal commands.

The flag -m will update the metadata from registered maps, but also checks if the registered map layers have been removed from the spatial database. It deletes missing map layers from the space time dataset register table and the temporal database.

## EXAMPLES

Modification of title and description of space time raster dataset A.

    t.support type=strds input=tempmean_monthly title="Monthly temperature for North Carolina" \
              description="Dataset with monthly temperature for North Carolina"

Update the metadata of space time raster dataset A and check for removed map layers.

    t.support -m type=strds input=tempmean_monthly
