Package 'Rgdal'
Package ‘rgdal’ September 16, 2021 Title Bindings for the 'Geospatial' Data Abstraction Library Version 1.5-27 Date 2021-09-16 Depends R (>= 3.5.0), methods, sp (>= 1.1-0) Imports grDevices, graphics, stats, utils LinkingTo sp Suggests knitr, DBI, RSQLite, maptools, mapview, rmarkdown, curl, rgeos NeedsCompilation yes Description Provides bindings to the 'Geospatial' Data Abstraction Li- brary ('GDAL') (>= 1.11.4) and access to projection/transformation opera- tions from the 'PROJ' library. Please note that 'rgdal' will be retired by the end of 2023, plan tran- sition to sf/stars/'terra' functions using 'GDAL' and 'PROJ' at your earliest conve- nience. Use is made of classes defined in the 'sp' package. Raster and vector map data can be im- ported into R, and raster and vector 'sp' objects exported. The 'GDAL' and 'PROJ' libraries are ex- ternal to the package, and, when installing the package from source, must be correctly in- stalled first; it is important that 'GDAL' < 3 be matched with 'PROJ' < 6. From 'rgdal' 1.5-8, in- stalled with to 'GDAL' >=3, 'PROJ' >=6 and 'sp' >= 1.4, coordinate reference sys- tems use 'WKT2_2019' strings, not 'PROJ' strings. 'Windows' and 'macOS' binaries (includ- ing 'GDAL', 'PROJ' and their dependencies) are provided on 'CRAN'. License GPL (>= 2) URL http://rgdal.r-forge.r-project.org, https://gdal.org, https://proj.org, https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/rgdal/ SystemRequirements PROJ (>= 4.8.0, https://proj.org/download.html) and GDAL (>= 1.11.4, https://gdal.org/download.html), with versions either (A) PROJ < 6 and GDAL < 3 or (B) PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3. -
Workshop GRASS GIS and RDBMS
Workshop W-11 GRASS GIS and RDBMS Workshop GRASS GIS and RDBMS by Marco Ciolli, Paolo Zatelli and Clara Tattoni Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Trento Italy FOSS4G2007 Victoria, Canada 24-27 September 2007 Workshop W-11 GRASS GIS and RDBMS GGIISS aanndd DDBBMMSS GISs can manage all the features of geographic information: geometry, topology and attributes. Sometimes it is more efficient to manage some or all of these features with an external Data Base Management System (DBMS). A DBMS can manage the attributes, a DBMS with spatial extension can manage the geometry as well. It is possible to use different DBMS, databases and configurations for different maps in the same dataset or for different layers of the same map. FOSS4G2007 Victoria, Canada 24-27 September 2007 2 Workshop W-11 GRASS GIS and RDBMS GGRRAASSSS,, QQGGIISS aanndd DDBBMMSS GRASS and QGIS can read all formats supported by the OGR library, that is data from the more used DBMS If using OGR Library with GRASS, data can be: – imported (GRASS native format) – linked as read-only external data with pseudotopology (v.external) FOSS4G2007 Victoria, Canada 24-27 September 2007 3 Workshop W-11 GRASS GIS and RDBMS QQGGIISS aanndd DDBBMMSS QGIS can access directly PostgreSQL/PostGIS data both attributes and geometry. In order to use a PostgreSQL/PostGIS layer in QGIS, it must be present a key column of int4. This layer processing speed can be enhanced by indexing that column (if it is a PostgreSQL primary key it is indexed by default). If a view is used, it must contain a type int4 column or a primary key, possibly indexed. -

INTERNATIONAL EXPERTS’ MEETING ON ASSESSMENT AND PROGNOSIS IN RESPONSE TO A NUCLEAR OR RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY (CN-256) IAEA Headquarters Vienna, Austria 20–24 April 2015 Context In nuclear disaster affecting agriculture, there is a need for rapid, reliable and practical tools and techniques to assess any release of radioactivity The research of hazards illustrates how geographic information is being integrated into solutions and the important role the Web now plays in communication and disseminating information to the public for mitigation, management, and recovery from a disaster. 2 Context Basically GIS is used to provide user with spatial information. In the case of the traditional GIS, these types of information are within the system or group of systems. Hence, this disadvantage of traditional GIS led to develop a solution of integrating GIS and Internet, which is called Web-GIS. 3 Project Goal CRP1.50.15: “ Response to Nuclear Emergency affecting Food and Agriculture” The specific objective of our contribution is to design a prototype of web based mapping application that should be able to: 1. -
Building a Spatial Database in Postgresql
Building a Spatial Database in PostgreSQL David Blasby Refractions Research [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net Introduction • PostGIS is a spatial extension for PostgreSQL • PostGIS aims to be an “OpenGIS Simple Features for SQL” compliant spatial database • I am the principal developer Topics of Discussion • Spatial data and spatial databases • Adding spatial extensions to PostgreSQL • OpenGIS and standards Why PostGIS? • There aren’t any good open source spatial databases available • commercial ones are very expensive • Aren’t any open source spatial functions • extremely difficult to properly code • building block for any spatial project • Enable information to be organized, visualized, and analyzed like never before What is a Spatial Database? Database that: • Stores spatial objects • Manipulates spatial objects just like other objects in the database What is Spatial data? • Data which describes either location or shape e.g.House or Fire Hydrant location Roads, Rivers, Pipelines, Power lines Forests, Parks, Municipalities, Lakes What is Spatial data? • In the abstract, reductionist view of the computer, these entities are represented as Points, Lines, and Polygons. Roads are represented as Lines Mail Boxes are represented as Points Topic Three Land Use Classifications are represented as Polygons Topic Three Combination of all the previous data Spatial Relationships • Not just interested in location, also interested in “Relationships” between objects that are very hard to model outside the spatial domain. • The most -

Introduction to QGIS: Download and Install
Introduction to QGIS: Download and Install University of Colorado Denver Facility for Advanced Spatial Technology [email protected] Annotations Computer Science Crash Cource What is QGIS? Download QGIS is a free and open source Geographic Information System. This To get started with QGIS you will need to download the software means that a user has the ability to create, export and design maps, which matches your system. You will most likely be choosing much in the same way you would using and ArcMap. The upside, as between Windows or Mac, and you will also need to know compared with ESRI products, is that QGIS is free for anyone to whether your system is 64bit ot 32bit. download and use. QGIS can run on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, Windows and even Android. To follow along with the instructions visit: https://www.qgis.org Why use QGIS? The mian reason someone would want to use QGIS is the fact that it is free and open source. Again, this means that anyone can use it free of charge, and on many different systems. What do I need to get started? This document will show the steps necessary for getting started with QGIS. For basic cartography and map design, almost any computer from the last ten years can run QGIS, which is a large upside compared with beefier programs like ArcMap and ArcPro. That being said a minimum of two cores is highly recommended, as well as about 5GB of free space on your hard drive for the program and files. 2 • facility for advanced spatial technology Annotations Computer Science Crash Cource Step One: Once you have navigated to the QGIS homepage, select the green “Download Now” button. -
