10 An Overview of GIS GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS

11 WHAT IS GIS? G = Geographic Data stored in a GIS is geographically located, showing your data in the form of a map. I = Information A GIS stores two types of data: features (the shapes on the map) and attributes (your data). S = System A GIS is a computer system (hardware, software, and data) used to perform a variety of geographic functions on geographic information.

12 COMMON TERMINOLOGY Vector Data Uses shapes created from points and lines to represent features. Vector data is useful for representing features that can be represented as distinct objects. Point Line Polygon

13 COMMON TERMINOLOGY roads water ground cover Name Maximum Depth Big Bass Lake 84 Lake Odana 52 St. Croix River 101 Feature represents a specific real-world object on a map depicted by a point, line or polygon shape. Feature Class Table has one record for every feature and one column for every attribute. Layer represents a collection of features of the same theme and shape. Feature Attributes the information about a geographic feature. For example, physical attributes of a river may include depth, width, and length.

14 COMMON TERMINOLOGY Raster Data Represents continuous data. A raster consists of equally sized cells arranged in rows and columns.

15 DATA MODELING Assets Activities Incidents Space, Location, Distance, Address, Stationing, Mile Marker, Intersection, Interchange, Site, Etc.
