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:
“More than ten million women march to work every morning side by side with the men. Steadily the importance of women is gaining not only in the routine tasks of industry but in executive responsibility. I include also the woman who stays at home as the guardian of the welfare of the family. She is a partner in the job and wages. Women constitute a part of our industrial achievement.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“My weakness has always been to prefer the large intention of an unskilful artist to the trivial intention of an accomplished one: in other words, I am more interested in the high ideas of a feeble executant than in the high execution of a feeble thinker.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
