Data Share Connections are used if you have non spatial data that you wish to use in iShare. You may want to:

• Present the data in My House / My Nearest
• Join the data to an existing spatial dataset
• Spatialise the data, if it contains Easting / Northing or Long / Lat as opposed to geometry type
• Make the data accessible through the iShare API or Publisher

This is where connections to external systems are configured, and selected data is synchronised or copied into the iShare PostgreSQL database.
