Organizing convention for spatial data Store Information bythematic layers of spatialdata Answer questions byintegrating different layersof data Onion analogy forrepresenting realityURP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems, UF - College of Design, Construction and Planning - URP Department

Feature classes in the vector model Real-world objects are modeled into three basic geometric shapesURP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems, UF - College of Design, Construction and Planning - URP Department

Capture, create dataNew dataDigitize from paper maps Digitize over digital maps Scan paper maps Create fresh using GPS devices Create from tex tfiles that store geographic location[mostly points] Text file example:XY450632.55, 355789450633.56, 355791URP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems, UF - College of Design, Construction and Planning - URP Department

Capture, create dataUse existing digital data - GIS format or other Download from public GIS web portals Buy from specialized GIS agencies Convert from other formats into GIS formatsSubtract, collapse, add, integrate from existing GIS datainto new GIS data that respond to your needs Volunteered user data (knowingly, non-knowingly) World peace mapCreate new data vs. using existing data, pros & consURP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems, UF - College of Design, Construction and Planning - URP Department

Store dataTwo fundamental models for storing geographic data Vector Model - Discrete representation of reality, traditional geometricshapes Raster model - Uses square cells to model reality with attributes - grids without attributes - arealsURP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems, UF - College of Design, Construction and Planning - URP Department

topics of the week – part II What is Internet GIS? Examples of Commercial GIS Web Applications Examples of Government/Public GIS Internet Applicat. Examples of Civil Society GIS Internet ApplicationsURP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems, UF - College of Design, Construction and Planning - URP Department

What is Internet GIS Internet GIS uses the Internet to distribute data andto conduct spatial analysis in a distributedenvironment. Web Mapping refers to making and displaying mapson the Web, with little or no analysis capability.URP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems, UF - College of Design, Construction and Planning - URP Department

Features of Internet GIS Wide accessibility, users any where can access GIS dataand analysis tools over the Internet. No GIS software is required to be installed locally. Takes advantage of the existing graphic user interfaceprovided by the World Wide Web. Users can manipulate maps and GIS data directly over theWeb. Local GIS software can also access remote data anywhere,via the Internet, if it is Internet aware. Internet GIS enables incorporation of real-time information. It is generally at no cost to the user – but not alwaysURP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems, UF - College of Design, Construction and Planning - URP Department
