To Main Menu

Description of Hymos (1/2)

Hymos is a powerful information system for storage, processing and

presentation of (geo)hydrological, meteorological, water quality and
morphological data.
Hymos combines an efficient database structure with an extensive
set of tools for data entry, validation, completion, analysis, retrieval
and reporting.

Description of Hymos (2/2)

Hymos is comprehensive, well tuned and easy to use. A full
graphical and map-based user interface creates a pleasant and
efficient working environment. Hymos has powerful and flexible
modules for production of graphics, maps and tables. The Open
Data Structure ensures convenient interaction and data transfer
with most other databases and modelling systems operated worldwide. Being part of Delft Tools, Hymos is fully integrated with other
software packages of Delft Hydraulics like Sobek, Delwaq and
Ribasim.
Hymos runs on stand-alone computers as well as in a network
system. Securities have been built in to restrict access to certain
activities to qualified staff only.

Hymos Applications
Hymos is developed for efficient storage, processing and
presentation of (geo)hydrological, meteorological, water quality
and morphological data. Its features cover the needs of
organisations responsible for monitoring network operation and
database management like hydro-meteorological services, water
resources authorities and water boards. The powerful data
processing and analysis features, on the other hand, make
Hymos very suitable for application in studies, research and
consultancy which often require processing of large amounts of
data in a limited time frame.
Hymos data are to a large extent time-oriented. Together with a
space oriented GIS, it covers the data storage and processing
requirements for planning, design and operation of water
management systems.

Hymos Environment

Hymos uses the win32 API used in Windows 95 en Windows NT

for optimal communication with the 32 bits operating system.
Through the Microsoft Jet database engine Hymos has direct
access to many different relational databases like Microsoft
Access and ODBC databases.
Hymos is built on the modular structure of Delft Tools (Decision
Support System Tools). This allows easy integration of existing
applications into Hymos by means of OLE (object linking and
embedding) or DDE (dynamic data exchange).

Connecting Hymos to GIS

Because Hymos is map oriented it can be easily

linked to GIS sytems. At present, the geographical
interface for Hymos is Netter, a Delft Tools
component. Between Hymos and Netter an OLE
connection is established to exchange information.
Instead of using Netter you can use your own GIS as
an interface to Hymos, like ArcView or MapInfo.

Hymos Data Structure

Hymos uses two data types:
Matrix data: this is time oriented data in equidistant
and non-equidistant series. The data is organised as
a three dimensional matrix with location, parameter
and time axis. This Data structure is file-independent
through Open Data Structure library of supported file
types. Adding of new file types to the library is very
easy.
Meta data to give details concerning locations,
parameters, time and relations. This meta data uses
standard database file formats accessed with the
Database engine. Hymos uses the Microsoft Jet
database engine to access relational data bases. This
enables Hymos to connect to a wide range of data
base systems like:
Microsoft Jet database file, Access database
(.mdb)
an ODBC database, such as a Paradox, or ISAM.

Data Types
Geographical data from GIS
Location-oriented data; observation stations, hydraulic
structures
Equidistant and non-equidistant time series
Relation oriented data; profile measurement data,
relationship parameters:
