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:

    Everything I do is done within sight of the Führer, so that my faults or mistakes are never hidden from him. I do my very utmost to live and act in such a manner that the Führer should remain satisfied with me; I am hard-working; but whether I shall always be able to cope with the tasks entrusted to me in the future as well, is an open question.
    Martin Bormann (1900–1945)

    A scientist who cannot prove what he has accomplished, has accomplished nothing.
    Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
