GIS III, Data input to GIS

Education facts

Code: NGGB44

The course provides training in database modelling based on a requirement specification. Students work in groups. On the basis of models, students construct a geographic database for storage of geographic objects. Hands-on computer sessions with specific software are included. The course includes managing data format problems, data in different coordinate systems, and topology requirements for geopraphic objects. The final storage environment is a database with attributive domains and subtypes created for quality control of database content. Students' various database constructions are evaluated and discussed in final seminars. Instruction is in the form of lectures, lab work, and supervision.
