I have tried to understand the purpose of the API and what it does and I could not get it. The abstract says:
"This document specifies a service interface that allows data to be joined from inputted data files with feature collections that are available on the server or directly with other inputted files. The core module contains support for CSV and GeoJSON input files"
What does it mean exactly? Once I have "joined inputted data files with feature collections" what I'm going to get? A feature collection with more properties? or the same feature collection with some indication that some properties are linked to other tables?. But then, who is doing the join? The client?.
Can you please provide a clear example in the introduction or in the overview (currently void)?. A common case is: I have some administrative limits with some id's and some statistical data that can be connected to it using the same id. And then what happens?.
