Tasks Accomplished With GIS Software
Typical tasks carried out with GIS are:
- viewing / exploring data
- creating data (the dataset is extended)
- editing data (the dataset is modified)
- storing
- conflation (integrating datasets from different sources)
- transforming (into different coordinates systems, different representations, re-sampling - resulting in new representation/format of the same data)
- querying (resulting in a selection from the dataset)
- analysing (resulting in a new dataset, with new information obtained from the original dataset)
- create maps

Famous quotes containing the words tasks and/or accomplished:
“Personal change, growth, development, identity formation—these tasks that once were thought to belong to childhood and adolescence alone now are recognized as part of adult life as well. Gone is the belief that adulthood is, or ought to be, a time of internal peace and comfort, that growing pains belong only to the young; gone the belief that these are marker events—a job, a mate, a child—through which we will pass into a life of relative ease.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
“That which we are is absolute. There is no adding to it, no superseding this accomplished self. It is final and universal. All that remains is thoroughly to explore it.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
