DEA Components
--------------

DEA is made up of different components:

* The **Story Browser** contains the list of the public and users' stories. The available stories are displayed on the globe as interactive placeholders that can be filtered by categories and other properties
* The **Story Editor** allows users to explore, add and combine data on the 3D globe, both from their own storage and the one hosted on DEA. Here users can create stories enriching data with text and by grouping contents in slides
* The **Story Viewer** contains the story details as an interactive slideshow with time dependent data. Here users can navigate the slides, explore their scenes by a direct interaction with the 3D map and read their content

All these components are accessible through the DEA **Landing page**.

For this reason, it is needed to accept our Terms of Service to:

Please click on the proper icon that belongs to the header (displayed on the **Landing page**, **Story Browser** and **Story Editor**) to visualize, read and accept our Terms of Service. An example is reported in the picture below.

To increase the security and reliability of DEA, we use a third-party service to monitor the content provided by users. The contents subjected to this check are:

* Any uploaded asset
* Any added text

This tool will notify the user of any content found inappropriate. In case any issue is found when uploading the content on our service, an e-mail can be sent with related info to dea-support@alia-space.com.
