This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discusses geospatial info. (GI), which is data referenced to a place -- a set of geographic coordinates -- which can be gathered, manipulated, and displayed in real time. A Geographic Info. System is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced info. In 1990 the Fed. Geographic Data Comm. (FGDC) was estab. to promote the use, sharing, and dissemination of GI. There are questions about FGDC fulfilling its mission. Has this organizational structure worked? Can the fed. gov¿t. account for the costs of acquiring, coordinating, and managing GI? How well is the fed. gov¿t. coordinating with the state and local entities that have an increasing stake in GI? What is the role of the private sector?

Download or read book Bringing Geographical Information Systems into Business written by David J. Grimshaw and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1999-11-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complete guide to choosing and using GIS in business Over the last few years, Geographical Information Systems (GIS)have become less expensive and easier to use, and the tremendouspotential of GIS to boost business productivity is finally beingrealized. Incorporating the latest developments in GIS technologyand applications, this book explores what GIS has to offercompanies in many different areas of industry today and how it canbe successfully integrated into existing business operations. Building on the success of its predecessor, this Second Editioncovers every key aspect of using GIS in business. It explains whatGIS is and helps readers gain a clear understanding of the costsand benefits of moving to a GIS. New case studies from both themanufacturing and service sectors illustrate how GIS can supporttactical and strategic business decision-making, and the book'sunbiased coverage of commercially available GIS software isinvaluable for anyone involved in selecting a GIS system andgetting it up and running. With a practical, real--world approach, the book also addresses themain issues involved in GIS implementation, paying particularattention to the integration of GIS within an organization'sexisting management information system. An increasingly vital tool for operations and delivery of goods andservices, GIS makes terrific business sense for many companies-butonly when properly selected and applied. This book gives GIS consultants, practitioners, and othersconsidering the move to GIS the foundation they need to put thispowerful technology to work effectively in business.

Download or read book GIS And Generalisation written by J-P Lagrange and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is the inaugural book in Taylor and Francis's GISDATA series, and is derived from the specialist workshop convened under the auspices of the European Science Foundation's GISDATA Scientific Programme. Generalisation is an integrating tool for the analysis and presentation of spatial data. Effective spatial data analysis requires multiple views of the world at various scales with different thematic layers of representation. Generalisation is a key mechanism in this process, as it filters out information which is required for particular scales or layers; hence it is critical to implement full and comprehensive generalisation capabilities in a GIS, something with which few current GIS are equipped.; This book overviews the core and as-yet unresolved issues surrounding the achievement of this goal, and presents various alternatives - both speculative views and practical examples - in the areas of automated generalisation, vis-a-vis problems such as object simplification and placement. At the same time it distinguishes between modelling with generalisation and graphical representation, and adopts a model-building perspective. It also describes artificial intelligence techniques for implementing automated generalised routines, and addresses issues of data quality and production.; The text is organized into six parts: an introduction; generic issue; object-orientated methods and knowledge-based modelling; knowledge acquisition and representation; data quality; and operation and implementation.
