People GIS and maps

 What do you use maps for?  What do you use GIS maps for? Maps and layers

A GIS uses layers to characterize and describe our world Describing our World

We can describe any element of our world in two ways:

Attribute Information: Spatial Information: What is it? Where is it?

Species: Oak Height: 15m Age: 75 Yrs 51°N, 112°W Geographic Data Models

All geographic information systems are built using formal models that describe how things are located in space.

A formal model is an abstract and well-defined system of concepts. A geographic data model defines the vocabulary for describing and reasoning about the things that are located on the earth.

Geographic data models serve as the foundation on which all geographic information systems are built.

Scott Morehouse, Preface to “Modeling our World” Data Models

A geographic data model is a structure for organizing geospatial data so that it can be easily stored and retrieved. Geographic coordinates

Tabular attributes File-based Data Models

Geographic coordinates and attributes are stored in separate but linked files Arc Info • Coverages • Shapefiles – Developed for workstation – Developed for ArcView ~ Arc/Info ~ 1980 1993 – Complex structure, – Simpler structure in public proprietary format domain – Attributes in Info tables – Attributes in dBase (.dbf) tables Storing Data

Coverages Shapefiles

Texas Texas

Counties Counties.shp Counties.shx Counties.dbf Evap Evap.shp Evap.shx Evap.dbf Info Storing Data

Coverages and Shapefiles

– Coverages are stored partially in their own folder (ARC) and partially in the common INFO folder. Shapefiles are stored in three to five files (with extensions .shp, .shx, .dbf, .sbx and .sbn).

– Coverages store common boundaries between polygons only once, to avoid redundancy. Shapefiles store all the geometry of each polygon regardless of redundancy.

– Coverage features are single lines or single polygons. Shapefiles allow features to have multiple, disconnected, intersecting and overlapping components. Geodatabase and Feature Dataset

 A geodatabase is a relational database that stores geographic information.

 A feature dataset is a collection of feature classes that share the same spatial reference frame. Geodatabase model

• Stores geographic coordinates as one attribute (shape) in a relational database table

• Uses MS Access for “Personal Geodatabase” Shape (single user)

• Uses Oracle, SQL/Server, DB2 or other commercial relational databases for “Enterprise Geodatabases” (many simultaneous users)

• Uses files in “File Geodatabase” Geodatabase

Workspace Geodatabase Feature Dataset Feature Class

Geometric Network

Relationship Object Class Object Class

An object class is a collection of objects in tabular format that have the same behavior and the same attributes.

An object class is a table that has a unique identifier (ObjectID) for each record Feature Class

A feature class is a collection of geographic objects in tabular format that have the same behavior and the same attributes.

Feature Class = Object class + spatial coordinates Relationship

• A relationship is an association or link between two objects in a database.

• A relationship can exist between spatial objects (features in feature classes), non-spatial objects (objects in object classes), or between spatial and non-spatial objects. Relationship

Relationship between non-spatial objects

Water Quality Data

Water Quality Parameters Relationship

Relationship between spatial and non-spatial objects

Water quality data (non-spatial)

Measurement station (spatial) Network

• A network is a set of edges (lines) and junctions (points) that are topologically connected to each other.

• Each edge knows which junctions are at its endpoints

• Each junction knows which edges it connects to What types of geographic data do you work with? Vector model Geographic features are most commonly represented as

points

lines

polygons

Retail Streets Parcels stores

Points Lines Areas/Polygons Vector data organization Stored as feature classes  Same geometry Attributes for points  Same attributes

(4,5) GIS – Creating Our Future GIS Types and Available GIS Software's

Management and analysis - GIS statistical software uses standard database queries to retrieve data and analyze data for decision making.

Web Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of subroutines designed to manage GIS data for its delivery to a web browser client from a GIS server using scripting language such as VBA or JavaScript.

Distributed GIS are web-based GIS, Mobile GIS, Corporate GIS and GRID computing.

Mobile GIS - implementations on mobile devices. With the widespread adoption of GPS, GIS has been used to capture and integrate data in the field. Open-source GIS Software
