special data for GIS
Spatial data :
Spatial data refers to all types of data objects or
elements that are present in a geographical space or horizon. It
enables the global finding and locating of individuals or devices
anywhere in the world. Spatial data is also known as geospatial
data, spatial information or geographic information.
Spatial Elements
4 Types of Phenomena
Points
Lines
Area
2-dimensional objects
Length and width can be measured
Surfaces, which include two types:
Discrete, has a definite boundary ex: towns
Continuous, has a changing boundary ex: meandering river
Volume
3-dimensional.
Examples include the volume of water in a lake, air masses.
Data Types
GIS Links Spatial Data with Attribute Data for a Feature on a Map
Maps
Drawings (sketch or engineering)
Aerial (or other) Photographs
Satellite Imagery/Digital Ortho Photography
CAD data bases
Existing Data
Data Collection
LAYER-BASED APPROACH
CONCLUSION :
In order to solve the drawback of layerbased approach in spatial data representation of GIS, this
paper has proposed a new scale-based approach for it. The
map in scale-based approach is organized in a series of
scale-view that includes a series of block and spatial objects
depending on the corresponding resolutions (scales). Digital
representation of spatial object is not limit to one approach
or one structure. Geographic information is always so
complex that a higher-order abstraction is required for
modeling the reality. Henceforth he congregation of layerbased approach and scale-based approach may be a
direction of research about the representation of
geographic information. g the reality.
