Metadata Standards in GIS

Metadata standards are structured frameworks for describing geospatial data. They ensure consistency, interoperability, and discoverability of datasets. Two of the most widely recognized standards for geospatial metadata are FGDC and ISO 19115. FGDC (Federal Geographic Data Committee) Standard ISO 19115…

Geospatial Data Formats

Here’s a quick overview of common geospatial data formats, each suited for different types of geographic data and use cases: 1. Shapefile (.shp, .shx, .dbf, etc.) 2. GeoJSON (.geojson or .json) 3. KML (Keyhole Markup Language) (.kml, .kmz) 4. TIFF…

Spatial databases in GIS

Spatial Databases in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) are specialized databases designed to store, query, and manipulate spatial or geographic data. They are fundamental to efficiently managing large datasets with location-based attributes and are widely used in urban planning, environmental modeling,…

Crowdsourced Geographic data in GIS

Crowdsourced geographic data in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) refers to spatial information collected, shared, or validated by the general public—often using internet-connected devices such as smartphones. This type of data is also called Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and plays a…

LiDAR and photogrammetry in GIS

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and photogrammetry are two powerful remote sensing technologies used extensively in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for mapping, modeling, and analyzing Earth’s surface and features. Here’s a breakdown of each and how they are applied in…

Surveying techniques in GIS

Surveying techniques in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) involve the methods and tools used to accurately determine the spatial location of features on the Earth’s surface. These techniques are foundational for building accurate GIS databases. Here’s a breakdown of the key…

GPS and GNSS in GIS

GPS and GNSS in GIS are foundational technologies used to collect, manage, and analyze location-based data. Here’s a clear explanation of how GPS (Global Positioning System) and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) are used in GIS (Geographic Information Systems): 🔍…

Topology in GIS

Topology in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) refers to the spatial relationships between features, such as how points, lines, and polygons connect or relate to each other. It’s a crucial concept for ensuring data integrity, accuracy, and meaningful spatial analysis. What…

Types of GIS data: Raster and Vector

In Geographic Information Systems (GIS), there are two primary types of spatial data: Raster and Vector. Each type represents geographic features and spatial information in a different way. Raster Data Vector Data Summary Table Feature Raster Vector Data Type Pixel/grid-based…

Coordinate systems and map projections in GIS

In Geographic Information Systems (GIS), coordinate systems and map projections are fundamental concepts that define how geographic data is spatially located and represented on maps. 1. Coordinate Systems A coordinate system is a framework that uses numbers (coordinates) to uniquely…
