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:

    A father who will pursue infant care tasks with ease and proficiency is simply a father who has never been led to believe he couldn’t.
    Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)

    Bastidides, on the contrary, who both talks and writes of nothing
    save copulation,
    Has become the father of twins,
    But he accomplished this feat at some cost;
    He had to be four times cuckold.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
