About Spatial Data and Standard GIS Formats

By: Leah Avery | 2010-09-27 | Data Recovery
Standard GIS Formats are the structures that are utilized for storing data in a GIS file. Spatial data is a predominant type of data that is stored in standard GIS Formats. Spatial Data refers to the location and characteristics or attributes of a geographic feature that is normally stored as topology and specific coordinates. Specific geographic features can then be viewed as illustrative and descriptive information. read more
