In this paper, we will introduce a reader, not familiar with GISs, from the point of view of computer science into basic concepts of geographic information systems. We illustrate GISs at an example of an environmental information system.
One example of the use of these integrated GIS applications is with the sports of mountain biking and hiking. These sports typically require an individual to explore areas that are not well mapped into standard maps. Historically this type of sport requires manual maps and a compass. Today there...
A geographicinformation system(GIS) provides a rich set of operations over few objects and layers, whereas anSDBMSprovides simpler operations on sets of objects and sets of layers. For example, aGIScan list neighboring countries of a given country (e.g., France), given the political boundaries ...
The term ‘geographic information system’ (GIS) has become synonymous with a wide range of computer applications, technologies, and scientific methods related to the use of geospatial information. Although the origin of GIS can be traced back to early electronic mapping tools, such as the Canada ...
Resolution and application dependencies of feature-based systems are discussed with tools to aid in feature determination. Example features are included with parts of the model explicated for these examples. 展开 关键词:wind damage buildings Fujita scale building respond tornado ...

Most of the information we have about our world contains a location reference: Where are USGS streamgages located? Where was a rock sample collected? Exactly where are all of a city's fire hydrants? If, for example, a rare plant is observed in three different places, GIS analysis might ...
which is also called attribute data. For example, let’s consider a coaching center. The exact location is spatial data. Additional information, such as the name of the coaching center and the education level they teach, are attribute data. GIS manages datasets, spatial analyses, and info disp...
