Publishing a mosaic
In the previous recipes, you used a single raster dataset. This is a common case when the datasets are not of a huge size. When your data covers a really big area or its resolution is high, that is, it contains a highly detailed representation of the measured parameter, a single dataset is not the best option, and in some cases is not an option at all.
The best approach is to create a mosaic of raster datasets. A mosaic is a collection of raster datasets that are virtually merged together to be used as a single dataset.
