Data vs. Data vs. InformationInformation
• Data, by itself, generally differs from information.
• Data is of little use unless it is transformed into information.
• Information is an answer to a question based on raw data. • We transform data into information through the use of an Information System.

In the digital environment we use software to create complex information systems.

• A GIS is a system (hardware + database engine) that is designed to efficiently, assemble, store, update, analyze, manipulate, and display geographically referenced geographically referenced informationinformation (data identified by their locations).
• A GIS also includes the peoplepeople operating the system and the datadata that go into the system.

Data can be:1. Positioned by its known spatial
coordinates.
2. Input and organized (generally in layers).
3. Stored and retrieved.
4. Analyzed (usually via a Relational DBMS).
5. Modified and displayed

MODELLING AND STRUCTURING DATA
(How we represent features or spatial elements)
![Page 14: NPS Introduction to GIS: Lecture 1 Based on NIMC and Other Sources.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649d5d5503460f94a3bd8a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Representing Spatial Representing Spatial ElementsElements
RasterStores images as rows and columns of numbers with a Digital Value/Number (DN) for each cell.
Units are usually represented as square grid cells that are uniform in size.
Data is classified as “continuous” (such as in an image), or “thematic” (where each cell denotes a feature type.
Numerous data formats (TIFF, GIF, ERDAS.img etc)
![Page 16: NPS Introduction to GIS: Lecture 1 Based on NIMC and Other Sources.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649d5d5503460f94a3bd8a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
VectorAllows user to specify specific spatial locations and assumes that geographic space is continuous, not broken up into discrete grid squares
We store features as sets of X,Y coordinate pairs.

Entity RepresentationsEntity Representations
Points - simplest element
Lines (arcs) - set of connected points
Polygons - set of connected lines
We typically represent objects in space as three distinct spatial elements:
We use these three spatial elements to represent real world features and attach locational information to them.
![Page 18: NPS Introduction to GIS: Lecture 1 Based on NIMC and Other Sources.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649d5d5503460f94a3bd8a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
AttributesAttributes
• In the raster data model, the cell value (Digital Number) is the attribute. Examples: brightness, landcover code, SST, etc.
• For vector data, attribute records are linked to point, line & polygon features. Can store multiple attributes per feature. Vector features are linked to attributes by a unique feature number.
![Page 19: NPS Introduction to GIS: Lecture 1 Based on NIMC and Other Sources.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649d5d5503460f94a3bd8a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Raster vs. VectorRaster vs. Vector
Raster AdvantagesThe most common data format
Easy to perform mathematical and overlay operations
Satellite information is easily incorporated
Better represents “continuous”- type data
Vector Advantages
Accurate positional information that is best for storing discrete thematic features (e.g., roads, shorelines, sea-bed features.
Compact data storage requirements
Can associate unlimited numbers of attributes with specific features
