About this Course
In this course, we'll begin with a review of the basics of spatial data modeling, including vector and raster data types. Then we’ll proceed to a consideration of attribute data and relational databases and how they are extended to incorporate complex spatial elements. We'll also cover data acquisition, the basics of data-gathering instrumentation, data sources, data quality and techniques to discover and resolve common data errors.
In hands-on exercises and discussions, you’ll consider how you can use GIS software to create and maintain geographic databases and integrate geographic data compiled from varied sources.
